Waltham, MA. - September 21, 2005

Constant Contact (www.constantcontact.com), the leading permission Do-It-Yourself Email Marketing® service for small and medium businesses and associations, announced today that it has won the 2005 Web Marketing Today Award of Merit for Excellence in E-Mail Marketing Software given by Dr. Ralph Wilson, founding editor of Web Marketing Today®.

The award was announced in Wilson's E-Mail Marketing Handbook (Second Edition) (http://www.wilsonweb.com/ebooks/handbook.htm), which provides small and medium businesses information and recommendations on how to effectively use e-mail in marketing. Dr. Wilson chose Constant Contact as one of the premiere ASP (Application Service Provider) hosted e-mailing services.

He has been interviewed by leading periodicals including The Wall Street Journal, ABC News Online, and Investors Business Daily.

"We have strived to make Constant Contact an easy-to-use, affordable, and feature-rich email marketing service for small businesses," said Gail Goodman, Constant Contact's chief executive officer. "We are very pleased to have Dr. Wilson, one of the best-known Internet Marketing publishers and consultants, recognize our achievements with this award."
