It enables me to create and manage an auto-responder series along with list growth management tools.
The goal is to continue to engage with my list. Keeping in touch with new and potential customers helps stay "on top of mind" when needing services.  Just like the name states, it has allowed me to stay in "constant contact" with my subscribers. The most valuable features are creating and…

Improves our marketing efficiency in a consolidated platform, with features such as behavior-based email triggers
Interface and design consistency are my two significant cons for this platform. Like most, once you know the platform and its interface, you can be very successful. There is no difference here except that the design process between creating emails, pages, and forms all have their unique process. I believe it would improve user efficiency if the page and email creator, for instance, had a standard procedure and the same layout of tools. The platform has a lot of features with more coming, so you have to know where all the pieces are between the settings, marketing, and sales menu layout.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Customer Service: Very good but I would have liked to have 24 hours accessibility."
"Just like the name states, it has allowed me to stay in "constant contact" with my subscribers."
"The ability to email clients using templates setup in the system."
"Every time that we send one out, we will get some kind of response."
"It is fun to design your newsletter based on the content you would like to deliver."
"The fact that we have been a customer for so long indicates how vital this solution is for our organisation."
"Every email I send, gets people to click on something or contact me, and it works."
"Email marketing is the most valuable aspect."
"With this product, we are able to do so much more with our marketing."
"We can trigger emails and actions based on their behaviors, which is very beneficial."
"We got a 30% increase in email open rates due to relevant targeting, 30% increase in overall leads, 12-15 man-hours savings per week due to automation."
 

Cons

"All Constant Contact wants to do is keep you on a monthly subscription, so if you only want to send out emails on a quarterly basis you must either pay every month you do not use the product, or you must cancel your subscription and then re-open an account every quarter."
"Sometimes, you will be typing in a text box and hit the backspace, but the website will think you meant to go back a page. Basically, you end up losing work when this happens and it is hard to predict."
"Sometimes, you will be typing in a text box and hit the backspace, but the website will think you meant to go back a page. Basically, you end up losing work when this happens and it is hard to predict."
"There are certain hiccups in the program that can be improved to make it more user friendly."
"When I started using Constant Contact creating email was very flaky, in terms of crashes and usability (perhaps compared to Weebly etc.). It has improved, however, still needs improvement and email creation still seems clunky and limited compared to other online solutions or website building tools."
"Could use better search and certain editing traits."
"Interface and design consistency are my two significant cons for this platform."
"Interface and design consistency are my two significant cons for this platform."
"Customer service is good, but the Netcore Smartech team should strive for improving it further. EMM customer service was far better than Smartech customer service as Smartech needs better coordination between Netcore back end teams, which needs to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost is fair, and you end up making enough in sales to pay for it."
"Based on the number of contacts we have, Smartech is more cost-effective than other solutions."
