My experience with Constant Contact

During one of my special projects, I used this platform. I found the tools and resources very complementary to my goals. Here are some processes I found helpful.

  • Automatic bounce and bad email administration. This helped me maintain a clean and productive list
  • Email Scheduling tool: I was able to segment my list based on time zones, work conditions, type of device, and client type. This increased my open and response rates.
  • A/B Split testing: I was able to test for better time delivery; best subject title; banner formats; newsletter content, etc.
  • List-building snippets: I seamlessly inserted these snippets into articles, registration forms, and even on third-party pages. This allows me to build the mailing at unbelievable speed.
