My name is Nancy Auslander, and I have many suggestions/requests for updating Constant Contact (CC) & making it easier for users & subscribers:
- Please allow users to drag/drop reschedule an email. Having to unschedule and reschedule every time is a pain, and frankly, time-consuming.
- In addition, the TIME an email is schedule to go out should also be displayed on the calender instead of having to click on it.
- When scheduling an email, it would be helpful to have the option to send it up to 3 times (different dates/times), and not just to non-openers. We have older subscribers who need lots of prodding, and younger subscribers who don't pay attention unless we bombard them with the same info several times before they take action. It doesn't matter how far in advance we let them know, they will wait until the last minute (or later) to act.
- When you log into CC, to see your calendar of scheduled emails, you have to either click VIEW ALL, or click on the Campaigns tab to find the Calendar. In addition to seeing the VIEW ALL link, you should be displaying a VIEW CALENDAR link.
- Allow SEARCH from the Calendar View.
- Please provide a self-populating form that we can send to our subscribers giving them the option to opt in/out of our lists. We have a lot of long-time subscribers who may want to reduce their incoming email, or get subscribe to additional areas of interest.
Thanks for reading this - I hope your developers can find ways to make any/some/all of these suggestions work. I've worked with developers before, and know these things take time, but I hope you can keep me posted.
