What differentiates Constant Contact from other similar products?
Constant Contact's website building tools are excellent and I enjoy that they offer email marketing capabilities as well. In my experience with many digital marketing tools, Constant Contact is by far the best. There is no better deal than this.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
I really enjoy being able to categorize my communities and groups based on email type. With Constant Contact, you can plan ahead and easily use it for any event or holiday of the year.
What do you dislike most about this product?
It is necessary to expand our automation offering. As for automated alternatives, it is simply insufficient. It would be great if we could assign labels to emails based on their behavior. Instead, you can add tags every time a subscriber signs up for a list.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Using Constant Contact to plan our campaigns in advance has been a huge help. I can certainly monitor the number of people who have opened our emails and the speed at which our content circulates between them.
Pros
- Helps Innovate

Poor customer support, difficult to cancel
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Constant Contact from other similar products?
Initially, it was easy to create email campaigns, although editing photos and getting things to look attractive proved tricky. The ability to copy the HTML code of the campaigns for use in other programs was very attractive, but that feature disappeared.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
No favorite feature
What do you dislike most about this product?
I tried for months to cancel the subscription. They require a phone call to cancel, but I was kept on hold every time and would give up after nearly an hour of waiting each time. Email contact information is buried deep in a series of FAQs, and the "call back" feature in chat does not appear when you select "cancel service" or "billing" as an inquiry option. I felt as though they were deliberately trying to make it very difficult to cancel the service. I ended up putting a block on my credit card.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
For price, features, and poor customer support, I would not recommend this product at all.
Pros
- Helps Innovate
- Unique Features
- Over Delivered
- Security Protects
Cons
- Less Efficient Service
- Less Effective Service
- Less Caring
