Constant Contact Raises the Bar. Emails As Web Sites.

I've been asking Vertical Response and Constant Contact for some time, why they do not have a feature, like Feedblitz does, that converts RSS feeds into an email newsletter.

This is a huge time saver for those who blog and have an email newsletter. However, Constant Contact has launched a neat, new feature that enables their customers to archive their emails and enable them to be easily seen online as web pages.

I still think Constant Contact needs to have an RSS to email feature, but this email archive feature is a pretty good start. Now we just need more small businesses to use email marketing. With all the emails I get you'd think more businesses would use email. However, consider that Constant Contact has 150,000 or more customers, that means probably not more than 500,000 businesses have an email newsletter.
