Who uses Constant Contact? It is a very powerful platform for email marketing and online surveys. And, to all my event planning friends, they have introduced a brand new platform, which will take Constant Contact over the top and seriously make it the most powerful platform for event managers. This one-stop shop can & will handle your email marketing, online surveys, and now event marketing.
Once you log in, you're able to access a dashboard where you are able to create a brand new email, survey, or event. Adding contacts is so easy. You're able to import your information, and I kid you not, it took me less than 2 minutes to load 147 sample contacts. If you decide to import your contacts from an excel or .csv document, there's an automatic pop-up window that asks you to verify that the information you're adding is not from a list-selling vendor, or that you are certain you are allowed to contact them. I love seeing companies being compliant with Federal regulations, and reminding us of them. It's a helpful reminder to any newbies who are unfamiliar with these laws.
You can easily get your word out with the email marketing platform. It beats having to send everything from you email account, seriously. Plus, it is able to track your information with useful metrics on who has actually opened your emails, the bounce rate, click rates, and forwards. Amazing!
The survey platform is just as easy. There is a setup wizard that gives you an option to create a survey from scratch, or based off a template. The mind-blowing part is that the setup wizard asks you what kind of industry you're in, so it can pull an appropriate template for your needs. Editing the questions are simple too! Your results are tracked as well.
I promise that even if you consider yourself not as technically savvy as you would hope, you will still be able to do this. The Event Marketing Platform is as easy to use as the email marketing form & the survey form.
Like the email & survey platforms, there are easy steps you take to get it done. It's truly a 1-2-3 process that allows you to promote your event, capture information and MONEY, and track the response. How convenient is that? So it will save you ample time since you won't have to worry about collecting, counting & depositing checks, and your attendees will love you for having the convenience of an online payment option. Not to mention, it is good for the environment!
I would absolutely, positively, hands-down recommend the use of Constant Contact for your next event. I personally have volunteered to head my high school's 10-year-reunion committee, and I couldn't think of any other program or platform I would use to help me keep things organized, and I consider myself very organized. With time being my most valuable commodity, Constant Contact is perfect for allowing me to manage this event with so much ease - - from the survey, to the email updates, and now the event details.
You cannot & will not go wrong with Constant Contact! Try it out for 60 days, and see if it works for you. It seriously is working for me!
