There should be an option to name your Lists in the backend so that subscribers cannot see your internal data. But then we should also be able to name them differently so that subscribers are able to properly choose what lists they want to be on. We use certain verbiage for lists with our team, but we use a totally different naming of lists for our subscribers to make it easy for them to choose what topics they want to hear from us on.   ...

I was an active campaign user which had very sophisticated email scheduling.  One of the features they had which I realize I need is the ability to send an email if my custom date field matches a current date.  I have memberships and would like to send clients an email reminder that their membership is about to renew.  Right now my membership is small, so I can manage it manually but hopefully when it grows, I will need this functionality and will need to go elsewhere if I don't have it.  Thank you for listening.  I do love the simplicity of your product though. ...

It's great that CC makes the list of scheduled so accessible.  I always check that campaigns I just scheduled are for the right day and time.  Lately, though, the am/pm is getting trimmed off.   That's critical because it is easy to forget to flip that when scheduling.   And for B2B emails there's a big difference between 10am and 10pm.     ...

I would like to be able to get digital badges for completing trainings on Constant Contact skills but I don't want to have to be a Partner. I'm using CC for the business I work for and we're never going to be an agency but I still want recognition for my skills. ... View more

It would be really nice if there was a way to view and/or export contacts based on device type for clicks & opens on a single campaign. ... View more

Hey Constant Contact, I run a parent organization with many sub-organizations under it. For Example: Ends of the Earth Adventures (parent) Ends Cycling  (sub-org) Ends Hiking  (sub-org) Ends Fishing  (sub-org) Ends Camping  (sub-org) I am new to Constant Contact, but when building out an email campaign and using the SOCIAL FOLLOW block (or "widget") in the email builder, it makes you manually copy/paste in all of your social platform URL links for each platform.  It would be awesome to be able to have a drop-down menu with global settings that I could select one sub-organization and it auto fills all of that sub-organizations social links, instead of copy/paste them all in manually for each campaign. Thank you for being open to ideas as well as having a great product! ... View more

Requesting the feature to create a Salesforce import that adds contacts to two or more CC lists at once. Alternatively, if we could create more than one CC import that uses the same Salesforce Contact List, this would also work. Currently, if I create an import that uses "Contact List A" in Salesforce, then I try to create a second separate import, Contact List A will be greyed out. I'm not sure what the logic is behind this restriction, but removing it would solve this issue.  ... View more

What has happened to the simple preview and column/field matching layout for importing contacts from a file.  I used to be able to import and see a preview like this (taken from your instructions):   But today, I get this view trying to upload an excel spreadsheet with only two columns email and membership expiry (I've blurred emails/file name for privacy): This change is absolutely illogical and does not match the layout of the spreadsheet and makes it difficult to preview how things look. I'm wondering, did I put those commas there? is my doc a CSV instead of excel? WTH, is there something wrong with my upload that it's doing this or is it another unnecessary change that CC has made to its user interface?   Never have I seen any data import preview look like this (for any products, not just CC) and I'm talking about importing from various csv, excel, or other delimited file types into other databases.     Please revert to the common sense data preview/column matching view so we can easily see data across fields, as well as see more information without scrolling down a page.   What is going on there? ...

The default "Country" and "State/Province" fields used for CC landing pages and sign-up forms force the user to scroll through <lengthy> menus to find the correct item. Since 95%+ of our organization's contacts come from one state in the USA, I'd like to preset these fields' values to "United States" and "MA" as a convenience (naturally, the user can still change these).   I don't see any way to do this in CC's landing page or signup form editors; is there a way to accomplish this (possibly using the API)? If not, I urge that you add this feature to the form editors; many local organizations using CC would find it helpful in lessening the "landing page burden" experienced by their prospective contacts. ...

For years, the ConstantContact system has been giving subscribers five poorly-written reasons for unsubscribing. I recommend new wordings below.   Current List Wording I never signed up for your emails I get too many emails from you The content is no longer relevant to me The content is not what I expected Other reason New and Improved List Wording I did not subscribe I get too much email from you Your email content is not relevant to me Your email content is not what I expected I dislike your email content Other For a more professional system, I hope you make this improvement. ...

I often miss this step because it is so evasive and not obvious and send out emails with the wrong information. I have to be especially on my toes to catch it. Can't it be a regular box like everything else? Subject could be listed and require change of title to save just like the name of the email.
