Change "Update Profile" to "Update Email Preferences" in email footer as alternative to Unsubscribe.

[HeatherMunroP]

I don't think most people on my email list think of themselves as having a profile and no one in the history of me using Constant Contact for 10+ years has clicked on that link instead of "SafeUnsubscribe" right above it. The language choice could be much clearer to help us all retain people on our lists and give them options to receive fewer emails rather than opt out completely.

I have just recently understood (to my horror) that when someone unsubscribes from an email for our marketing partners that also excludes them from ALL lists. Other email service providers allow a list of emails to choose to unsubscribe rather than from ALL. I doubt that ANYONE would have a clue that they needed to update their profile to continue getting Continuity eGUIDE which we have published since 2003. It doesn't have to be complicated -- can be very simple if it is set up properly. Would you consider this change? Thanks in advance.

Hello @PublisherKathy,

You actually do have a way to accomplish this in Constant Contact today! If you want customers to choose what list they can unsubscribe themselves from all you have to do is select the lists on the update profile form. The only thing to note is that customers will see the names of the lists you have selected. Learn more here.

Where would you expect to see this option?

We have people that either accidentally opt-out of our email distribution list on a regular basis (sometimes intentionally and sometimes by accident). I wish I didn't have to make several phone calls and jump through hoops to get them added back.

Hello @Mel2000,

Thanks for reaching out to us on this! Are you aware that you can select multiple lists on your update profile form so customers have the option to select specific mailing lists to opt out of?

There are a few requests in this post regarding the Update Profile form. The form can be updated to display lists that contacts would like to subscribe to. See how to edit the Update Profile form here. For other requests, please comment on the below thread:
