Whether you run an online store out of your living room, have a brick-and-mortar shop in the center of town, or manage several locations across the country, your goals are the same: find new customers, grow your list, and build lasting loyalty. In 2026, Constant Contact is faster and smarter than ever to help you do it all.
Email Designed for Success
Brand Your Business Instantly: Don't waste time matching hex codes. Use the BrandKit to scan your website; it will automatically pull your logo and colors into every template you use.
Let AI Do the Heavy Lifting: When you start creating your email, use the AI Assistant. It can generate on-brand copy and suggest subject lines that are optimized to get your retail promotions opened.
Optimized for Every Screen: Over half of your customers are shopping on their phones. Our mobile-responsive templates ensure your product shots look crisp and your "Shop Now" buttons are easy to click.
What Do I Talk About in My Email?
It might feel tough at first coming up with content, but there is always a story to tell!
Highlight New Arrivals: Use short, punchy text blocks to showcase new inventory.
Cross-Channel Impact: Don't stop at the inbox. Use the AI Content Generator to instantly turn your email highlights into coordinated social posts and SMS updates.
Selling Specials and Everyday Items
Drag-and-Drop Products: If you use Shopify or WooCommerce, you can pull products directly into your email—complete with images and pricing—using our Product Blocks.
Recover Lost Sales: Set up an Abandoned Cart automation to remind shoppers about the items they left behind. It’s one of the most effective ways to boost your 2026 revenue.
Capture the Moment: Use the mobile app to snap high-quality "beauty shots" of your merchandise and upload them to your Library while you're on the shop floor.
Building Customer Loyalty
Personalized Journeys: Use the Automation Path Builder to send a Welcome Series that makes a great first impression.
Celebrate Your Customers: Trigger birthday or anniversary emails automatically to say thank you (and maybe include a special coupon!).
Listen to Feedback: Send a Survey to find out what your customers want to see in your next seasonal drop.
