It is a great product, with great customer support. I liked the way that they walked me through everything when i first started using it.
It's very difficult to cancel the account, you can not delete your data online, also they will argue with you to cancel. No refunds are given if you are unhappy with the products.
Constant Contact is the perfect software for helping you to stay in contact with those important people that can have a positive impact on our organization.
Lack of responsiveness by vendor to problems. Feedback and problem reports get an autogenerated email.
Its easy to use once you get the hang of it, its user friendly, its cost effective, and their customer service is excellent.
I called the following Monday to cancel my service and they refused to refund my subscription cost even though no service had been provided.
I like the customer service. How they set up a call with you to determine what your objectives are and how they can help you succeed in your goals.
Email editor shortcomings: no way to create reusable items to be used across emails; hard to get to html when editor features are insufficient or inaccurate.
Lists of contact are easy to maintain, and emails are easy to create, send, and then track the results to tweak campaigns for best conversions. Our account manager has always been great.
Other email softwares charged by the email and number of recipients, iContact charged a subscription fee, so it made it more costly.
I'm very happy with all the great templates and designs. The navigation has also improved a great deal.
No one to speak with, low deliverability, inferior tech when compared to other competitors with the same price point.
My experience had been very positive. Customer Support, when needed, is very responsive and helpful.
At the time I was using it I was not able to embed videos into the email campaigns which was frustrating.
I enjoy its ease of use and the ability to use graphics to add interest to our newsletter. The Dashboard is a wonderful tool.
Pricing was primarily our main issue, it became costly when we only sent one email per month.
Stephen: Hi, my name is Stephen. I'm the CEO of Kayak Capital, and I give Constant Contact, a four out of five rating. Before using Constant Contact, I considered MailChimp as an alternative. The reason I chose Constant Contact, it's more widely recognized as a professional service, and it also integrated with my CRM more easily. Integration with Constant Contact was relatively easy. They worked directly with my CRM to integrate it and to upload my contacts into Constant Contact. My recommendation would be to work with Constant Contact to customize your output, to take off the constant contact name off the bottom, that's doable if you pay an additional fee.
Mary G.: Hi, my name's Mary. I'm a Director of Education. I am giving a five star review for iContact and for more details, click below. Our past product was Mailchimp and it just wasn't customizable enough for what we needed. It didn't give us as many options to change the layout, or make columns, or individualize the emails as much as we really wanted for our brand. We chose iContact primarily because of how customizable it is. You have the option to change, not only fonts and colors, but the actual layout of the emails. You can make columns, you can put in blocks and dividers, and it's very customizable to match your brand. The other reason we chose it was we were looking for a platform that would have minimal junk pickup, I guess I would call it. Our members from some of our platforms we have tried in the past, our emails ended up in junk automatically, just because they were coming from that brand and iContact seems to have a better reputation with the junk sorters in emails. iContact was super are easy to get started with. Implementation was a breeze. We didn't even need their customer support to get going, really. It's very user intuitive. Non-designers can make emails look beautiful in iContact and uploading a member list is literally at a of a button. I highly recommend pursuing iContact. I haven't found a single fault with their program. It's user-friendly. It makes beautiful emails and honestly the price point is pretty fair as well.
Prioritize real-user-identified key features according to your needs to find your best fit.
