As a marketer, I want to be able to split test different subject lines, images, and calls to action. I.e., what gets better open rates: "Save 20% off" or "Free Shipping" as an example.    Unfortunately, there's no simple way to do this in CTCT. Competing platforms have had this feature for years, and I even rememeber receiving an email from CTCT on the benefits of A/B split testing.   This is the most basic, most important piece of information small business and marketers need.

Paul,   Thanks for your response. Without naming your competitors, they all seem to be offering those type of A/B split testing. I've even seen CTCT write on the importance of A/B split testing in the past.   While you have some beginners as customers, many of us are smarter than you give us credit for. Split testing on subject lines would be a good start, but as marketers we need these basic tools to evaluate our campaigns.    Thanks.  ... View more

Sorry! I have two accounts at CC and I thought it was confusing when I realized I posted from the wrong one!   So I deleted it, planning on coming back to this account and posting the same response from here, but then I got distracted.   So much for not being confusing.   So, the ways it works is this: your blog post goes live and the RSS feed is automatically pushed out (assuming you've set it up that way.) From there, it nudges your ESP (, , etc.) which auto-generates and email with the image and text, and sends it out to your list.   Less control, but it can save you an hour a post. Some of my clients just don't want to take the extra step, and they'd prefer to save the time.  ... View more

I would love to be able to tighten the design a bit. I shrank my logo down, but now there's too much white space. I wish I had control over the height of the boxes, too, or they automatically tightened up as the image got smaller. There doesn't appear to be an HTML option that would let me go in and tweak that. ... View more
