Anyone use Constant Contact?
I just found the coolest tool that I wish I had found years ago. It`s a widget that allows you to enter subscriber info into constant contact from your desktop at any time, on the fly. You need to download Yahoo! Widgets and then get the Constant Contact widget from their list of widgets. Say that three times fast You can also have your weather, stocks, pics, etc. as other widgets - which is a nice added bonus. Let me know what you think!

I think you`re nitpicking.
In the grand scheme of things, having the name of the e-mail service you`re using at the bottom of your newsletter isn`t really that big a deal.

That`s good. I never said it was a bad thing.

I think that`s an excellent response - and a great way to do the best for your client!
What I don`t like about Constant Contact is that they, along with similar newsletter services, register as spam in a lot of my client`s email accounts.
Is there a simple email newsletter service where I don`t have to worry about so many bouncing back, or winding up in spam folders?
Lizette, I use FeedBlitz to deliver my blog updates to subscribers. I haven`t received any complaints.

If you want subscribers, you have to aggressively go and get them. Here are a few of the techniques I use:
1. Visit websites where your target audience hangs out. (Forums, social networking sites, etc.)
2. Give them something to subscribe to. (Newsletter, blog updates, etc.)
3. Give them convenient options of receiving your content. ( e-mail, RSS, My Yahoo, Twitter, etc.)

You can have the Constant Contact logo removed from your emails by calling them at 866.289.2101. See the article in their FAQs under Answer ID 2192. Seems like this conversation has gone off on a tangent. I don`t use widgets because anyone can create some code, post it and have 1000`s download and install it. Being a consultant and IT administrator to and for small businesses this goes against what I try to teach my customers and their employees regarding proper internet useage. See Trojans. Previous posters obviously have something in this arena they are selling. Good for them. But it is what has led this thread astray.
Don`t sign up for the service just because someone recommended it. Do your own due diligence, and check things out.

I`m doing this for one of my clients. Can save a bunch of $$ over time.
