Email
How do I see available Holiday templates in my account?
You can search for “Holiday” when viewing the template picker.
Do you have any holiday background, divider or top/bottom images already available in stock photos in Constant Contact?
We sure do! You can search for them in the Stock Library.
Can I edit my photos in Constant Contact?
Yes! We have a photo editor in the library that allows you to make simple edits such as cropping or something more advanced like adding frames.
How do you include a GIF in the newsletter? Is it like uploading a photo?
It is very similar! We have some best practices for including GIFs in emails, such as keeping the GIF smaller than 600 pixels and less than 5mb in size.
How large should the header be in my email?
You can upload images up to 800 pixels in width but we do recommend keeping it no larger than 600 pixels to make sure it looks great in your email!
Should I change the subject line when resending my email to people who didn't open the first time?
It is a best practice to update the subject line before resending.
I would love to be able to offer a Donate button that clicks directly to a donation source for nonprofits. Is that possible?
Sure! You can link to your Donation webpage in your email. We suggest inserting a button to make it stand out! If you have our Email Plus package, you can use our Donation Action Block to create a donation landing page that connects directly to Constant Contact.
Can a video play inside an email?
Videos cannot play from an email, but you can insert a video to make it appear embedded. This will also create a thumbnail of the video and link off to where it is hosted.
Is there a way to embed your own HTML code into Constant Contact?
You can use your own HTML through our Custom Code emails.
Where can I learn more about the A/B test feature?
Our Knowledge Base has a great article outlining the A/B test feature available in our third generation editor.
Reporting
With the marketing calendar, is there a way to track or print reports on the analytics?
You can access some reporting details while viewing sent campaigns on the Marketing Calendar or you can click More Details to drill down further.
Social Share
What is Social Share?
Social Share is a great way to quickly share your email on your social media accounts. You can create posts for these pages that promote a link to your email and are scheduled to publish automatically.
Can you use Social Share to share an email on Facebook? What about on a LinkedIn company page?
You can for both! Click here for more info on connecting social pages to your Constant Contact account.
Contacts
How do I add an email address to my current list without creating a new list?
You can edit the contact and update what lists they belong to.

Is there a database of your webinars online? I wanted to attend your last one but couldn't.
