Hi there, we use constant constant for all of our UPS Stores. It would be great if you could make a campaign template for Livescan services! Thank you!

I would like to suggest adding more templates that cater specifically to preschools, childcare centers, and daycare providers, as well as more church-based/faith-based templates. These industries rely heavily on clear communication with parents and guardians, and a well-designed template can make all the difference.

Here are some specific ideas that I believe would be helpful for your platform:

Preschool / Childcare / Daycare Templates

  1. Welcome New Families Template

    • Bright, welcoming colors and playful designs that appeal to both parents and children.
    • Sections to introduce staff, outline daily schedules, and provide helpful tips for parents preparing their children for daycare.
    • Embedded space for personalized messages from the director or teachers, making each family feel special and acknowledged.
  2. Weekly Newsletter Template

    • Engaging, child-friendly design elements (such as cartoon characters or colorful icons) to make the emails stand out in parents’ inboxes.
    • Pre-built sections for curriculum highlights, important dates (like field trips or school closures), reminders, and announcements.
    • Easy-to-edit blocks for photos of children engaging in activities, fostering a sense of community.
  3. Event Announcements (Field Trips, Fundraisers, Parent Nights)

    • Fun, lively layouts with plenty of room for key event details.
    • Visual countdowns or RSVP buttons that allow parents to engage with the email directly.
    • Interactive elements such as click-to-save date reminders or embedded maps for event locations.
  4. Safety & Policy Update Template

    • Clean, professional, yet approachable design, emphasizing important policies (safety, health updates, pick-up/drop-off procedures).
    • Clear sections for policy breakdowns and FAQs to make the information digestible for parents.
    • Templates that allow for quick updates, ensuring that parents always have the most up-to-date information.
  5. Graduation & Special Milestones

    • Elegant yet fun layouts for graduation ceremonies or celebrations of milestones, such as "Moving Up" from one class to another.
    • Space for photo galleries to share precious memories with families.
    • Certificates of achievement sections, allowing centers to personalize and send digital "graduation certificates."

Church-Based / Faith-Based Templates

  1. Weekly Worship Services & Events

    • Graceful, minimal designs that focus on community-building and encouragement.
    • Space for sermon topics, Bible verses, and event schedules, with a spiritual and uplifting tone.
    • Integrations for sign-ups for church events, services, or volunteer opportunities.
  2. Faith-Based Holiday Templates

    • Inspirational designs for major religious holidays (such as Christmas, Easter, etc.).
    • Templates that include room for scripture, reflective quotes, and special event reminders.
    • Clean, respectful layouts that convey a sense of celebration and community.
  3. Volunteer & Ministry Updates

    • Customizable sections for ministry leaders to highlight current and upcoming activities.
    • Space for testimonials from volunteers or congregation members, fostering engagement.
    • Options for quick RSVP or sign-up buttons for ministry events.

These templates would be incredibly valuable for organizations that work with young children and faith-based communities, allowing them to communicate more effectively and professionally while reflecting their unique focus and mission.

I believe adding these specialized templates would greatly enhance the overall user experience for many customers in these fields and further expand the usefulness of Constant Contact for a wider range of organizations.

Thank you for considering these suggestions. I look forward to seeing what you create!

A few templates helping us announce and recruit sponsors/players for an annual golf outing would be extremely helpful!

Hello,
it would be useful to have some re-engagement templates, for different types of businesses & clients/prospects

We support the volunteer work one of our employees does with a non-profit organization that helps people that may have been a victim of scam, fraud or unfair business practices. They also offer suggestions, guidelines & tips on how to avoid such unfair practices. It would be nice if you had a template that was related to that endeavor.  One that had images & background of something that would catch their eye and know to read it further.  Please let me know if this is something you would consider.

Thank you.

The holiday templates are sorely missed/ Can't they be brought back?

Hi @gospellife,

 

I am sorry to hear you're having trouble finding our holiday templates. If you go to the template picker when creating a new email and searching for "holiday" they should all pop up, or you can click here and be taken straight there. Was there one specifically that you're looking for that you can't find anymore? You might not recall the name of it, but maybe if you can describe it or maybe one of your previously created campaigns utilized it, it might help us track it down.

I would like my emails via CC to look as much as possible like ordinary emails that I send myself..   (I know I have to have the stuff at the bottom ... "Unsubscribe" ,  etc.)  But the current system forces an offset from the left margin, which is not what an ordinary email looks like.
