Constant Contact

Constant Contact is a long-established email marketing platform built for small businesses, nonprofits, and organizations that want approachable, all-in-one marketing without a steep learning curve. Users build campaigns with a drag-and-drop editor and a large template library, manage contact lists and sign-up forms, and send newsletters and promotions, with real-time reporting on opens, clicks, and results. Its reputation for ease of use and strong support has made it a common first email tool for small organizations. Beyond email, Constant Contact has grown into a broader marketing suite. It offers marketing automation (welcome series, resend to non-openers, and behavior-based paths), segmentation and A/B testing, landing pages and forms, social media posting and ads, SMS marketing, event management and registration, and AI content assistance to help write and design campaigns. E-commerce and CRM integrations connect it to platforms like Shopify and QuickBooks, tying marketing to sales and customer data. Constant Contact serves small businesses, retailers, and nonprofits, with plans scaling by contact count. Pricing (at 500 contacts, billed monthly) runs roughly Lite around $12, Standard around $35, and Premium around $80 per month, increasing as your list grows (for example Standard around $110 and Premium around $200 at 5,000 contacts), with annual and nonprofit discounts. It competes with Mailchimp, Brevo, MailerLite, and ConvertKit, differentiating on small-business focus, support, and event/nonprofit features.
