Clean your list and get permission

Email marketing has an enemy—its name is spam. Spammers don't ask permission and they don't make it easy for list members to unsubscribe. Constant Contact is dedicated to fighting spam by providing our customers with tools that help them to build trust with their list members.

Permission management
  • Protected by SafeSubcribeSM assures your visitors that you are using a legitimate and reputable service to send your email communications and that they can safely sign up to receive emails from you.
  • A SafeUnsubscribe™ link is automatically included in every email you send, assuring your subscribers that they can remove themselves from your list with just one click.
  • An optional permission reminder can be added to your email campaigns to remind subscribers why they are receiving email communications from you.
  • The Confirmed Opt-in feature (double opt-in) can be activated, requiring that newly-added contacts give a second confirmation to be added to your email list.
Email bounce management
  • View all bounced email addresses and learn why they bounced
  • Quickly and easily remove bounced email addresses from your list
  • Send personal emails to email addresses you believe may have bounced due to a blocking issue
