Hello!   We've launched our   marketing calendar for 2021, which provides a template and a full list of holidays (including Houseplant Appreciation Day, who knew?).    I hope this is helpful! Also, I'm curious. For Nonprofits, which holidays do you usually focus your efforts around? Giving Tuesday is huge, but what other parts of the year get attention?  ... View more

Hello!   We've launched our   marketing calendar for 2021, which provides a template and a full list of holidays (including Drive-In Movie Day, who knew? I've never been!).    I hope this is helpful! Also, I'm curious. For Retail, which holidays do you usually focus your efforts around? Black Friday and the end-of-year holidays are obviously major periods, but given retail is such a broad category of businesses, are there other holidays that work better?  ... View more

Hello one and all,   Thank you so much for checking out the Nonprofit Hub!    I can't say I have much inside experience with nonprofits, but I can only imagine the work involved, let alone just the marketing for it!    That said, nonprofits come in all shapes and sizes and cover a wide range of missions. Our hope is the Nonprofit Hub will be a place where people can kick up their feet, find like-minded individuals, and foster meaningful discussions around the nonprofit space.   Introduce yourself below and we will see you around the Hub! ...

How's it going, folks?   I was checking out this blog article on Facebook Ads for Real Estate and I thought it would be a good share for the community. If you're a tried and true veteran of the industry, you're probably leveraging Facebook Ads already to help spread awareness, but if not--or you need a refresher--I humbly suggest you check it out!   I suggest reading up on the best practices section. It's good to know exactly what you should do before you go and do it!   Anyone have experience with Facebook Ads they'd like to share? I'm a big fan of anecdotes. ... View more

Hello fine friends of retail,   Our Blog team had this article kickin' around about ideas for better abandoned cart emails and I thought it would be good to share!   In particular, I like #6: Make them visualize. Find ways to let the email highlight how purchasing the items would improve the circumstances they were considering them for. It still leaves the onus on the prospective customer, but might help remind them why they sought these items in the first place.   What idea do you like best and have you tried any of them?  ...

You might notice that Real Estate and Retail currently have their own hubs. According to our research, the Community has a lot more users in those industry spaces than others and we figured they would need the additional legroom!    That said, Constant Contact works with a wide range of industries and we want to make sure everyone has a seat at the table. The Other Industries Hub will be the place for many industries to gather, discuss, share resources, and more! This hub is kind of a living organism, as it grows we will adopt more changes so that it is easier for different industries to find each other, and if we find that a specific industry has really grown beyond the confines of Other Industries, we will look at expanding said industry into their own hub!   If you have any questions or feedback, let us know below! ...
