AROUND THE RINGS
FEATURED PAIRIING
Put your business emails on autopilot, and your results in overdrive, with marketing automation from Constant Contact
Marketing that runs itself? Yeah, that’s a thing now.
Constant Contact has automation tools that run in the background so you don’t have to. Emails, texts, offers — they go out exactly when you want them to, without needing to hit send every time.
Want to make customers feel seen? Use an automation template to send birthday wishes. Trying to boost sales? Set up an abandoned cart email — it’s a friendly reminder that often leads to actual purchases. Got customers who’ve gone MIA? Send a promo or offer to bring them back.
You don’t need to micromanage any of it. Just choose your triggers — like someone clicking a link or leaving something in their cart — and the system handles the rest.
You stay focused on your actual to-do list. The marketing keeps humming in the background.
So, Essentially Athletics readers: Are you ready to stop spending time on repetitive stuff? Then give Constant Contact’s automation tools a try. It’s free to get started, and honestly? It’s kind of a game changer.
