Ready to tackle social media? Constant Contact Introduces Social Media Quickstarter

Fri, 8 Jul 2011 15:50:40 -0700

Introducing the Social Media Quickstarter, a new free tool that will teach you how to go social or suggest ways to do social media marketing even better.
The Social Media Quickstarter is your coach - whether you're new to social media or want to build your skills. It's free, it's easy, and it's there for you on your schedule.
For some small organizations, social media marketing is an easy extension of what they're already doing. For others, getting started is a huge leap of faith. Constant Contact designed the Social Media Quickstarter to help people surpass their goals, regardless of their starting point and experience level. They've covered a bunch of social media topics, but divided the content up into small sections that you can read, absorb, and use what you want, on your own schedule.
Whether or not you use our email marketing, event marketing, or social media marketing tools, we want to see all small businesses succeed. That's why Constant Contact built the Social Media Quickstarter specifically to help small businesses get started and become successful with social media marketing, regardless of what tools and platforms they choose to use (although we hope it's Constant Contact!)

Constant Contact Adds Social CRM Capabilities with the Acquisition of Bantam Live

Wed, 16 Feb 2011 21:18:36 -0800

Acquisition of highly scalable technology marks a key step in the company's evolution to an engagement marketing hub for small businesses and nonprofits.
Building highly-engaged customer relationships is a critical success factor for small organizations. To do this, they need a unified view of their contacts across all channels, from email addresses to social media connections, to event registrations. Constant Contact is incorporating Bantam Live's innovative social CRM technologies with their own development initiatives to create a platform that gives small organizations the ability to see how their customers share, refer, endorse and engage with their brand across all channels.
Why social CRM is important??
Ongoing customer engagement drives business success. Social media channels offer a significant opportunity for small businesses to continually engage with their customers and prospects.

Simply put, social CRM enables small businesses to keep track of who their customers are, and how best to interact with them, especially the most engaged ones. It also provides insight into how well relationships are built and maintained along the way.

The Constant Contact Engagement Platform comes together when contacts, content and insight are delivered through the right channel at the right time to the right customer.

Constant Contact is committed to helping their customers build relationships with their customers that drive business success. The planned addition of social CRM capabilities into all Constant Contact products will help our customers better track, measure and increase customer engagement — giving them an additional leg up on the competition.
