I remember discovering the “12 Days of Cheer Challenge” last year, similar to the “12 Days of Christmas.” The campaign got followers involved by telling them to do daily tasks like being kind, sharing their favorite recipes, or taking creative holiday-themed photos. It encourages interaction, user-generated content, and spreads positive vibes. It looked pretty simple to set up as well: Create a graphic or video introducing the challenge. Post daily prompts (e.g., Day 1: Share your favorite holiday tradition; Day 2: Tag someone who inspires you, etc.). Offer a small prize or feature some of the best submissions on your page. Feel free to adapt this to your business.

Thanks for sharing @JenniferS7! With more than 125 lists, including 30 just for cars, it shows that you're working hard to handle different groups for reaching out to specific industries. Keep up the good work! Regarding the segmentation limit, I understand how the cap of 10 lists per segment could be limiting, especially when working with such a large dataset. While it may currently require breaking up your lists into multiple segments, I’ll be sure to pass along your feedback to our development team to consider increasing this limit in the future. In the meantime, you might try using sub-categories within each list where possible, as a way to streamline and organize them more effectively, even if it's within the existing constraints.

Thanks for the great information as always, @Grace_R!

Hi @KristinG439 It's really cool to hear how you and your team are working hard to connect education and manufacturing. Your initiatives, like tours, events, and training, sound awesome! And on a personal note, your "faux farming" lifestyle with alpacas, hazelnut trees, and needle-felting sounds like a dream of mine! If you’re looking for somewhere to get started I’d recommend our Ready, Set, Send challenge which has great worksheets to inspire you along your Constant Contact journey.

Hey @user208121 Thanks for sharing your SMART goals! Looks like you've got everything mapped out for your marketing plan. Your approach looks good and helps you make smart choices during your marketing journey. Keep it up and don't forget to be flexible - sometimes the best ideas come when you change things up!

Chris-S · ‎10-30-2024

Hi @GingerG667, Thanks a ton for getting in touch, and congrats on becoming an Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator! It's awesome to see how you're jumping into this new adventure with so much enthusiasm. Going from nursing to running your own business is a big move, but it seems like your passion for crafting and teaching is a great match! Building a new customer base in a new area can be both exciting and challenging. I’d suggest creating a simple marketing plan to gradually introduce yourself to your community. Social media, local crafting events, or even joining crafting groups can be great ways to meet people who share your interests. And it’s wonderful that your new business allows you the flexibility to spend more time with your grandsons!

Chris-S · ‎10-28-2024

Lots of chances for you to take advantage of!

The updated template feature and ability to save preferred email templates is...🔥

Chris-S · ‎10-23-2024

I have noticed that using these strategies in email marketing efforts has resulted in successful outcomes and created deep connections with customers. Milestone Emails Mark special moments with your followers, such as their membership anniversary, birthday, or the date they joined your brand. Show your gratitude by sending an email that says "Thank you for being a part of our community for a year!" and include a special offer or discount. Social Proof and UGC (User-Generated Content) Try including personalized social proof, like sharing customer reviews or suggestions that match what they've bought or liked before. You may include feedback or images from other customers who have purchased the same product if a customer has made a purchase. You may also prompt them to share their own review or social media post.

Hi @RitaP If you've already put in your industry but still can't see the comparison numbers, it might just be a problem with how it's showing up on our system. Sometimes it takes a bit for the industry stats to show up, or there could be a little hiccup. Just make sure your industry is saved correctly in your profile. Give us a heads-up if it’s still not working by the end of the day. For this challenge, the deal is to check out the emails you sent in Week 1 and compare them with the ones you sent in Week 5. We're not looking at the same email being resent over and over, but rather seeing how two different campaigns did in terms of performance (one from Week 1 and one from Week 5). If you need more time to get good results from your sent emails (since emails can take a while to settle), no problem! You can still check out the first results and use them to see any patterns or changes you might want to make for the future. Does that make sense? Just let me know if you need more info!

Thanks for the great information @Amy_W!

Chris-S · ‎10-18-2024

Wow! @user065571 The contact form is super helpful. It's organized really well. 👏 I would include a more compelling prompt at the beginning of the page to better direct users. Ensure the form is mobile-friendly for a seamless user experience. Overall, I love the design and layout, fantastic work!

Chris-S · ‎10-18-2024

Hi @JenniferS7 The email you send out for Tri-Lease LLC does a great job of explaining the perks of equipment financing options. It's super easy to read and has relevant sections that talk about your services. Some suggestions Highlight the deadline (12/31/24) more prominently to encourage quick action. Strengthen CTAs (e.g., "Apply Now") with bold or contrasting colors. Some sections could be more concise for easier reading. Overall, the info is easy to understand and gives good benefits to possible clients. Great job!

Chris-S · ‎10-18-2024

@user781222 Your idea of incorporating QR codes into brochures is a highly effective tactic for increasing traffic to particular products and your company's website. Here are some suggestions to improve your approach: If you're directing readers to the company's website or brochures, each QR code should take them straight to a page about that specific product. For instance, the QR code by the "Ribbon Wall Incline Belt" should link to a page with details about that product, not just the general homepage. This gives people exactly what they need without making them search. You've done a great job adding QR codes to the product information. But, adding a simple message like "Scan for more details" or "Learn about this product" near each code can make people want to use the QR codes more and make it clearer what they're for.

Hi @vickys424 Welcome to the Constant Contact Community! Starting something new can feel overwhelming, but please don't hesitate to reach out if there is anything I can help with.

Sage green is my favorite color! I used it to paint my office.

Chris-S · ‎10-17-2024

Hey @user3583086 Hey, your email draft looks awesome! The layout is so easy to follow and the icons make it super easy to get the info. I have some suggestions to make it even better before you hit send. Instead of saying "Quick News Updates," which is informative but not very exciting, try something more fun like "Get the Scoop with Quilt & Sew: Fresh Updates and Special Deals!" This way, you'll catch people's attention right away. Using phrases such as "Limited Time Only!" or "Hurry, While Supplies Last!" in promotions such as "Awesome Furniture Sale" and "Baby Lock Financing" can generate a sense of urgency. The quilt pic at the top looks cool, but the words on top might be hard to read. You could try a different color or put a see-through layer behind it to make it easier to read. You're doing great with this email draft! Just make a few changes and it'll be even better at grabbing attention and getting people to take action.

Love this @LaineA 😍

Chris-S · ‎10-15-2024

Thanks for posting, @SherylJ731 I just took a peek at your SMART goals, and you're doing great. Your goal to increase newsletter subscriptions by 100 is clear, which is fantastic! Could you provide more details on how you plan to attract those new subscribers? Will you be using specific promotions or content themes that might appeal to medical staff? It's great that your newsletter provides exclusive details on specials! Be sure to emphasize this aspect in your marketing strategies. Customers are drawn to exclusive offers, so make sure to showcase that in your messaging. Great job on setting these goals! With just a few adjustments, you will be well on your way. Excited to hear about your progress!

Chris-S · ‎10-15-2024

Hey @user16441 Hey, I checked out your SMART goals and it looks like you're doing great! Here are some tips that could make them even better: Focusing on improving the click rate of links is a commendable objective. To reach a 5% click rate, it may be advantageous to specify the specific links you are targeting. Are they links for newsletters, promotional deals, or other content? Aiming for a 5% click rate is a commendable goal, but it is important to think about the methods you will employ to reach it. Will you focus on improving your email content, subject lines, or targeting? Providing specific details can bring your objective within reach. Overall, you’re off to a good start with your goals. A few tweaks here and there, and you’ll be ready to roll!

Chris-S · ‎10-14-2024

Hi @BarrySchofield, how can we help you today?

Chris-S · ‎10-14-2024

Hey there @PatriciaS710 I just checked out your SMART goals, and you’re on the right track! Here are some thoughts to make your plan even better: Your plan to reach buyers is off to a good start, but maybe we could make it even better. What exactly do you want them to do when they hear about the market? Do you want them to check out a website, sign up for a newsletter, or something else? You mentioned keeping tabs on how buyers engage and give feedback, which is great! If you can, set some specific goals—like trying to get a certain amount of clicks or responses. It'll give you something to work towards and make it easier to see how well you're doing. Overall, it sounds like you’ve got a solid plan in place! Just fine-tune a few details, and you’ll be all set. Can’t wait to see how this all plays out for you! Cheers and looking forward to seeing you participate in week 4 of the challenge.
