Constant Contact is an email marketing platform that has served small businesses and nonprofits since the 1990s. It offers a drag-and-drop email editor, hundreds of templates, list management, and reporting, along with tools for social media posting, landing pages, and event registration.
The Lite plan covers basic email campaigns, while Standard adds A/B testing, segmentation, and pre-built automations, and Premium adds custom automation paths, dynamic content, and advanced segmentation. SMS marketing is an add-on on Lite and Standard and is included in a limited amount on Premium.
Constant Contact is a good fit for small businesses, nonprofits, and event-driven organizations that value live phone support and a simple interface over advanced features.
There is no free plan, only a free trial with limited sends. Pricing is based on the number of contacts, so costs climb as the list grows, and automation and segmentation require the Standard plan or higher. Prepaying for a year saves up to 15 percent, and nonprofits can save more.
For Long Island chambers, nonprofits, and local businesses that run events, Constant Contact’s event and email tools work well together.
