About Samantha_O

Did you know that Constant Contact pushes updates to our product regularly?  We wanted to make sure that you get all of the latest and greatest information right here in the Community. We will also be linking off to other resources for you to stay up to date on all of the new features or enhancements! Let's jump right on in!    Changes & Updates:  When you schedule your campaign, the default will now be set to "Schedule for Later." You can still choose to "Send Now" from the options, though.  When adding your contacts, the drop down is getting simplified. Space was starting to get a little tight, so we are keeping the ones used most often and removing the less frequently used ones. Don't worry - you can always find the latest and greatest integrations and apps in the Constant Contact Marketplace. Viewing your reporting just got a whole lot easier! You can now view 500 of your latest campaigns in the Trend Overview Graph. Learn more here.  In our Third Generation Editor, typically called 3GE, we have had a couple of updates:  You can now align images!  Once selecting the image you can choose left, right or center. Check out the gif below or read more about it here.  Speaking of images...the insert image overlay has a new look!   The campaign type list (shown on the Campaigns tab) has been updated to match the recent changes to the names in the campaign picker. We'll be posting updates here monthly (look for them at the end of the month) letting you know what is happening. If there is something particular you want to see in these updates, please feel free to leave your comments below.    Want even more? Check out our video of What's New in the first quarter of 2017!  Below you will also find a couple of other resources.      Other Resources:  KB Page: What's New   ... View more

We are so excited to let you all know that coming pretty soon you will start to see badges on your profile. We wanted to find a way to reward and thank you for being engaged members of the Community.     If you are asking yourself, "What is a badge?" don't worry we'll help you out. Were you a fan of the Pokemon Go! craze, do you use SnapChat or a fitness tracker?  Then you should know what badges are! These are the little tokens you get for reaching different milestones - maybe it was catching your first Pokemon, sending your first snap with a filter, or reaching your 10K/day step goal.     Within the Community, we'll be awarding badges for things like participation in the Community, partnering with Constant Contact, and more - we've got to keep some things a surprise!   Here's a sneak peek at a couple of badges:    We will be rolling the badges out in small batches so make sure to check back often to see what you might have already earned or what you need to earn a new badge!   We also want to ask you what kind of badges would you want to earn? Here are a few things we've thrown around to see if it helps spark some ideas - attending local events, reaching milestones in your account (not just the Community), or for something fun like logging in on National Pet Day.  ...
