Create beautiful messages with hundreds of professionally designed email templates

We love explaining to folks that iContact has hundreds of built-in templates designed to make your marketing messages really pop. We’ve got templates that range from product features to friendly holiday postcards, and we’re adding more all the time. All of our templates are professionally designed and tested to work for every major email client.

If you’re the creative type, you’ll probably want to design your own template in an HTML editor like Microsoft FrontPage or Macromedia Dreamweaver and then import it. It's that easy. Just copy and paste your HTML code into iContact and you can go from there. You can even import your newsletter or marketing message straight from your blog or website.

More than Just Messages...

iContact doesn’t just send messages. Did you know that you can also send (and track!) customer surveys free with your account? Now you can learn more about your customers the easy way—by asking them. Each survey automatically compiles the results into a simple downloadable report that shows you aggregate information, such as poll choices, and individual responses, such as fill-in-the-blank questions. Not one of our competitors offers such a powerful surveying and reporting tool for free with their service, so this one is definitely a must-see.

What about ecourses or an automated message series such as a free trial or billing reminder notices? iContact’s autoresponder feature makes it easy to send out messages and surveys at pre-determined intervals (such as a day, week, or month). This can be a great way to send out promotional offers or time-sensitive information. This tool automates much of the process of sending out a regular newsletter too, so it’s an obvious favorite. Give it a try.
