Constant Contact Overview

Constant Contact has been one of the biggest email marketing players in the market for years. It is known for an easy-to-use email template editor and high deliverability rates. Constant Contact has cornered the market on email marketing for small businesses, and its most notable competitor has been Mail Chimp. Constant Contact differentiates itself with a full event management platform built directly in the product, instead of offering integration with other event management tools. You can build a registration page, manage attendees, and send event follow-up emails directly from Constant Contact.

Constant Contact EmailCampaign automation is limited with Constant Contact. Simple autoresponder emails or email drip campaigns can be set-up with Constant Contact, but you are limited on the triggers and actions that you can take on a campaign. Usually, this is the sticking point when a customer decides they have outgrown Constant Contact.
