I used to use it when I was doing the jewelry thing. I loved it....after the intial "overwhelmed" feeling of it. It really was pretty easy. Fun to change your letter for different holidays and such. My customers responded well to it...thought it was great and "cute". I also liked how you could track who actually clicked on your links to check things out further. Give it a try. I felt it was definitely worth it!

PS: I just got a newsletter from my old sponsor. (She hadn't heard of it until I started using it...now she uses it alot!) It was a Halloween theme....very catchy!

I used it for the free trial and I really like how you could see who opened your newsletters and who clicked your links but I never had a large enugh customer base to make paying for it worth it.

When I was with my previous company, I used it, too. I agree with taxi22....it was a bit overwhelming at first, but once I got the hang of it, it was great!!


I had lots of customers take advantage of my specials....both ordering products and hostessing parties.


I definitely say, give it a try and GOOD LUCK !!

Lisa, I use it all the time!!! I LOVE it. Now, I know who is reading my emails and I am able to see what they clicking on etc. It has been very helpful in writing future newsletters and also not having to wonder if anyone is actually reading them! LOL!!!

I use it and really like it. I think it's very simple once you get the hang of it. My company is coming out with a contact managment system in the future. I'll probably just use it once it's out, but for now I like Constant Contact!

It's funny you say that...because I LOVE that they call me when I need to renew...that way I just have her process the card right then...and I don't have to worry about it...

Just say please don't call...if I want you I will call YOU...no one really knows what's happening on the other end of the phone unless you tell them...I don't mean to sound defensive...It's just I have used them for almost 3 years now...and I love their service...

Warmly,
