What Constant Contact is
Constant Contact is an email and social media marketing platform aimed at small businesses. It includes a drag-and-drop email editor, email templates, an AI copy generator, signup forms and reporting.
A newsletter operator would use it to design and send issues, manage a contact list and schedule social media posts beside each send.
It sells three plans named Lite, Standard and Premium, plus a Multi-Account option for teams that need five or more accounts.
Who it is for
Constant Contact is a digital marketing platform for small businesses. Lite is the plan for beginners, Standard is for most businesses, and Premium is for professionals.
A newsletter operator who wants email and social posting in one place, with a person to call, would use it. It is built around marketing a business more than around publishing a newsletter as a product.
What you can do with it
Every plan includes a drag-and-drop email editor, email templates and an AI copy generator. You can manage contacts, add web signup forms and build custom segments.
Standard adds email scheduling, subject line testing, automatic resend to people who did not open, and an AI campaign builder. Plans also cover posting to Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn, a social ads manager on higher plans, and tools to host events, sell products and take payments.
Plans and pricing
There are three plans: Lite, Standard and Premium, plus a Multi-Account option for teams that need five or more accounts. The plan price depends on your number of contacts and email sends, and overage fees may apply.
