Waltham, Mass. - April 17, 2009

Constant Contact®, Inc. (NasdaqGM: CTCT), a leading provider of email marketing and online surveys, today announced it has partnered with SYSCO iCare to offer small-business focused email marketing and online survey capabilities to SYSCO's North American customer base. SYSCO iCare is a service of SYSCO Corporation, the global leader in selling, marketing and distributing food products to restaurants, healthcare and hospitality facilities.

SYSCO iCare is tasked with promoting qualified partners to food service providers throughout SYSCO's customer base, extending the trusted relationship companies have with SYSCO beyond the delivery of goods to a host of other valuable services. Constant Contact's passion for and expertise in helping small business better communicate with customers will be a key SYSCO iCare service to individual restaurants, local and regional chains and smaller franchisors.

"Restaurants, cafeterias and other food service organizations often create a personal bond with their customers.  It's important for these organizations to cultivate and nurture that bond through targeted and meaningful communications," Chris Hemmeter, CEO of SYSCO iCare Marketing. "Constant Contact makes it possible for even the busiest sole proprietor to create an insightful and consistent marketing campaign that delivers something useful to customers. It's exactly the kind of offering we had in mind when we conceived the SYSCO iCare program."

Constant Contact's email marketing and online survey tools are designed to make it easy for small businesses with little or no marketing or technical expertise to create professional looking email newsletters, promotions and online surveys. These tools enable businesses to start a two-way dialogue with customers increasing customer loyalty and referrals -- without incurring printing, postage and other advertising costs.

"Small restaurateurs often wear many hats, from chef to marketer, and have little time, budget or resources to spend on marketing or even learning how to use the array of marketing tools available to them today," notes Alec Stern, vice president, strategic market development, Constant Contact, Inc. "SYSCO iCare and Constant Contact are committed to the goal of making marketing an easy, efficient and affordable part of their operations so that they can devote their full attention to what they do best -- satisfying customers."

Constant Contact's SpeakUp! email marketing solution makes it easy for restaurants and other food service organizations to increase traffic and build strong relationships with customers for as little as fifteen dollars a month.  Examples of the types of email communications restaurants can use to stay top of mind with their customers include email newsletters to introduce seasonal menus, extended hours, specials to fill seats on traditionally slow nights, a special event, your chef's favorite recipes, or to keep customers abreast of news such as awards or reviews. Restaurateurs can also send out timely promotions or coupons to reward their loyal customers and generate repeat business, especially during off-peak days or seasons.

Constant Contact's ListenUp! online survey tool is also an excellent method for improving customer engagement. In minutes, restaurants can select a template with expertly written questions and put together a simple survey to find out what their customers are thinking about their business, menu, service, a recent event, etc. This feedback not only provides invaluable information to help restaurants understand and provide the service their patrons are looking for, it's a great way to extend communications with customers to ensure their loyalty and business.

Sysco customer, The Aquitaine Group, uses Constant Contact's email marketing solution to notify customers of menu updates, new dishes and upcoming events at their five local restaurants. "With Constant Contact's reporting, we can directly relate reservations and gift cards sold as a result of our email campaigns. We can even tell who is coming to our web site because of a link we included in the emails," said Aquitaine Group Partner, Jeff Gates.

Constant Contact's email marketing and online survey solutions are supported by free, award winning customer service and resources to help users you start and grow their lists every step of the way. The Constant Contact Learning Center and ConnectUp! online community provide unlimited support with hints & tips, articles, webinars and success stories from other small businesses to help users get the most from their email marketing efforts.
