CONSTANT CONTACT ANNOUNCES CONSTANT CONTACT® CAMPAIGN CREATOR PLUS

New Flexible and Extensible Template Authoring Architecture Makes it Easier for Small Business Owners to Create Professional Email Marketing Campaigns

Waltham, MA. - May 18, 2004

Constant Contact today announced the release of its new web-based email marketing service, Campaign Creator Plus, that gives both non-technical small business customers, and advanced web developers more flexibility to create professional-looking email marketing campaigns.

Constant Contact is the leading permission Do-It-Yourself Email Marketing service for small and medium businesses (SMBs) and associations. It was recently recognized as the most popular email marketing tool in a Web Marketing Today® survey of small businesses.

All current and new Constant Contact customers will benefit from 16 new HTML email templates and enhanced tools including user-friendly editing features for customized email creation. All templates are now modularly extensible so customers can easily add articles, features, links, paragraphs, sponsors and more to each template.

The architecture is a breakthrough for advanced users, web developers, and the more than 800 Constant Contact resellers worldwide. It allows web designers to develop templates using standard HTML extensions, such as XML and style sheets. Now campaign developers can design email campaigns as they would a web page, or easily re-purpose existing HTML from web pages. Constant Contact automatically converts the HTML to a format supported by most email clients.

"As Constant Contact customers become increasingly savvy with their email marketing programs, their demand for more advanced features and flexibility naturally increases," said Gail Goodman, CEO, Constant Contact. "We listen to our customers and add the most requested new features while continuing to maintain the affordability and ease-of-use for which Constant Contact is well-known."

In keeping with Constant Contact's commitment to provide small businesses with best practices in permission and spam prevention, Campaign Creator Plus also gives customers additional options to comply with anti-spam laws. Users can now create a permission reminder that will appear at the top of their email campaigns to remind subscribers why they are receiving the email, and ask subscribers to confirm their permission. This is increasingly becoming a best practice in email marketing, and Constant Contact has made it available to its small business customers.

Constant Contact also announced last week that it is certified to provide Bonded Sender(TM) certification to its customers with excellent emailing history. Constant Contact is the first small business provider to achieve this certification from IronPort and TRUSTe.

The enhancements included in this latest release are all available immediately for all Constant Contact customers.
