Sample concept of using manual export from your database into Constant Contact

There are multiple ways of using your database and Constant Contact to maintain and keep contact information current. Below is one method that may work for you. Evaluate your own needs and contact Constant Contact for details on using their software.

1.

Create a mailing list in Constant Contact that will contain the names of contacts that are NOT already in ChamberMaster. This will also contain the names of those that “Join” your mailing list using the Join selection provided by Constant Contact (used when the Subscribe button is selected within the emails). Add any desired contacts to this list already now (excluding ChamberMaster contacts) and update whenever desired. Example mailing list title: Standard Mailing List

2.	Create another mailing list in Constant Contact that will contain the imported ChamberMaster contacts. Do not add any names to this list yet – you will be importing names into this list. Example mailing list title: ChamberMaster Contacts List

3.	Each time you are ready to perform a mailing, follow instructions above to export your entire set of contacts from ChamberMaster.

4.	In Constant Contact remove all contacts from the current “ChamberMaster Contacts List”. Then import the new ChamberMaster export into this list.

5.	When sending the email, select both the “Standard Mailing List” and the “ChamberMaster Contacts List” as recipients of the email.
