Constant Contact Unleashes the Power of the Poll

Survey gives you the insight, new ideas and the knowledge to help meet customer needs, keep your customers happy and grow your organization. You’ll make more informed decisions because you’ll have a broader, more representative view of what your customers and members really think about your products, services and communications.
See Survey in action and take our survey now!

Introducing the $1 Million Website
- Jeune Ortiz
If I asked our clients what their site is worth, most of them would probably say, “Hang on let me find that invoice.” What your web site cost to develop is definitely a sign of the kind of functionality and marketing that went into its creation. However, it doesn't’t come close to representing the site’s true value.

Getting Found in the Haystack
- Christianna Connell
With the unpredictability of search engine algorithms it’s no wonder that many clients have been looking to PPC (Pay-Per-Click) campaigns as a way to avoid the expensive hit-and-miss results of organic search engine efforts.

Getting More from your Advertising or PR Efforts
- Jeune Ortiz
PR and marketing are great tools to get the word out about your company. But the results can be greatly improved by utilizing your web site’s marketing muscle and making sure it is prepared for the attention.
Number of blogs worldwide in 2005: 22 million
Number of blogs projected worldwide in 2010:
Approaching 1 billion, spurred by Flickr and other new blog uses
Registered Skype users worldwide:
60 million just before eBay’s purchase of Skype
Projected U.S. household use of Tivo and Tivo-like devices in 2010:70%
If you regularly send large files to clients or vendors you may want to consider using a great new service called You Send It.
Unlike the dual upload/download of each file using FTP, You Send It only requires 1 upload thereby saving you half the bandwidth for each file. For busy sites the impact of bandwidth savings will reveal itself immediately. The advantage over email is that You Send It won’t choke your network for minutes at a time only to return with the all-too-familiar error “Mailbox quota exceeded.”
You Send It takes care of all the geeky stuff, all you have to do is register for an account and you can start sending 100mb files to anyone you want! The recipient will be notified that you’ve sent them something and will be directed to a URL where they can download. It’s that easy. And it’s free!
