Pros

“Constant Contact helped simplify email marketing and communication with customers by centralizing contact lists, campaign creation, scheduling, and reporting into one platform.”
BR

Bradley R.

IT Director

“It provides an intuitive platform for creating professional email campaigns, managing contact lists, and tracking campaign performance without a steep learning curve.”
SS

Stacy S.

Sales Marketing Coordinator

“It handles the practical machinery of email marketing: contact storage, list management, templates, campaign creation, sending, and basic reporting, without turning every campaign into an engineering project.”

James G.

Senior Manager, Infrastructure Engineering

Pros

“Wish there were more design template options for both the newsletter and the archives page, and that readers had a more visible way of interacting so they can reply/comment to each other on posts.”
AS

Amanda S.

freelance writer

“In addition to being easy to use, the company provides personalized support: the team quickly responds to any email you send them, making the experience of using the service as close to being served by someone at the counter of a store with years of tradition as possible, rather than the cold service of a mega corporation.”

Adriano M.

Owner

“In a world where social media is trying to control the message as well as the means, it is vital to have a direct way to contact those interested in my work.”
DP

Cons

“You can't resize images within blocks, for example, and when you create a new block yourself, you can't copy and paste them into a new template or save them as a content block for reuse.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Jill R.

Founder, Owner

“Some of the automation and advanced segmentation features are not as deep as some higher-end marketing platforms.”
BR

Bradley R.

IT Director

“The layout editor is pretty inflexible, or at least not a "friendly" user experience. While they have a lot of templates, there are definitely limitations on the creativity end.”

Jill R.

Founder, Owner

Cons

“I accidentally misnamed the newsletter at first because I thought I was just filling out a username for the website, although I haven't used one of these sites before.”
CA

Cass A.

Head Writer for Non-fiction

“Then seeing the poor delivery rate & getting no response from support for weeks, I grew frustrated and disappointed, and started looking for alternatives.”
RM

Rupert M.

CEO

“I've gotten several emails about my newsletters landing in spam, which is a bummer.”
