Email

I have used the "copy" function many times for previous emails, but I still end up deleting all the old information to enter in the new. Is there a way to create a blank template that already has our business information included and has blank areas I can enter the content I want to send out?

We recommend creating a master template that you can copy from. 

How do I create an email that is screen-reader friendly?

We have a new cross-device editor that includes screen reading capabilities. The best part is that you can edit the email on desktop and mobile devices. 

I want to create sequenced emails that can go out to my contacts. Is this possible? 

Yes. You can create an automated series sent to send by a number of different triggers. You can read more about our automated series feature to choose what works best for you. 

Birthday emails sound great. How can I create one in my account?

As long as you are collecting birthday information for your contacts, you can create a recurring birthday email. This will automatically send up to two weeks before the day.  

I don’t want to paste an entire article into my email. How can I make a teaser that shows a preview of the article? 

Great idea. This helps to shorten your emails. You can include a Read More button that shows a snippet of your article and drives traffic to your page.

Contacts 

I want to use a pop-up on my website but I don’t like when they appear too soon after someone lands on my page. Can the timing of the pop-up be controlled?

Yes, you can adjust the timing of the pop-up. This is not available for all plans and you may need to upgrade in order to use this feature.

What are some ways I can grow my contact list?

We have tools available in your account to make this happen. Read our Blog article for more ways to grow your list. 

Websites

With the website builder, do you host it? Are you able to use your own domain name or is it a subdomain?

Constant Contact provides secure and reliable web hosting at no additional cost. Just publish your site and we’ll take care of the rest. You can connect an existing domain or purchase one. 

I want to build an online store with Constant Contact. What payment methods do you use?

You can use PayPal, Stripe, or collect cash payments on delivery. See more information about payment methods.

What shipping services can the builder integrate with?

At this time, we integrate with Shippo for our website builder.

I want to have some articles and content written for my new website. Can someone from Constant Contact help me?

We have partners that can help you with that. Here is a list of our partners who can help with copywriting for a fee: https://marketplace.constantcontact.com/ServicesSearch?query=copywriting

What support is available when creating my website?
