What’s New in Constant Contact!

 

We know you're juggling a lot, so we're constantly devising new ways to take the stress out of marketing. Check out our list of recent feature updates below!

 

 

Making email easier

 

Quickly pick the template you need

Email templates are now easier to select, with options that match your brand's style or are specific to your industry. You can also view templates you've recently used or that match the season. Quickly glance at the selection curated for you, and choose the perfect template in just a few clicks.

 

Improved drag and drop functionality with sections

Sections are full-width structures that allow users to group content in an email. By grouping blocks and layouts in a section, users can apply more styles to multiple blocks at once or, move the section around their template with one click.

 

Enhancing social, SMS and event capabilities

 

Let AI assist you with your next social post

Stop staring at the screen wondering what to write when you can use AI to create engaging social content. It’s just a few clicks! Allow our AI tool to summarize the content of your last email and suddenly you have an engaging caption for your social post. Or, type in a few words and create a stand-alone post when you click “Write with AI.” Choose from three captions or tweak what you see to get your message just right. 

 

Pick up where left off when registering for SMS

Engage your customers instantly with SMS marketing, reaching them directly on their mobile devices. Add SMS to your account, and upon registration you’ll receive a dedicated sending number. As you register, your progress is now saved so that you can pause and come back if you need to.

 

Post your event on your website

Hosting an event? Post your event details on your website to reach a bigger audience and boost registration and attendance rates. Just add a "Attend my events" HTML widget to your website and your visitors will see a dynamic list of your upcoming events.

 

Digital Wallet support for events

Event registrants can now pay for their tickets using Apple Pay and Google Pay. This convenient payment process allows customers to complete their transactions quickly with just a few clicks.

 

Grow your list with sign-up tools created for you 

We've built a sign-up landing page and 3-step automated welcome series for all our new Constant Contact customers. Just review what we've built, add your personal touch, and you'll be ready to capture new contacts in no time!

 

Improving the mobile app experience
