Public Company Information:NASDAQ:
CTCT

Constant Contact®, Inc. (Nasdaq: CTCT), a leading provider of email marketing, event marketing and online survey tools for small organizations, today announced the winners of its first ever Franchise Excellence in Email Awards. Abrakadoodle®, Geeks On Call®, and EmbroidMe® were recognized for their outstanding achievements in email marketing as judged by Constant Contact's Franchise team and guest judge Joel Libava, The Franchise King® and president of Franchise Selection Specialists Inc.

"One of the many great characteristics of a successful franchise is their creative use of technology," said Kevin O'Brien, director, National Accounts, Constant Contact. "This was very apparent as we reviewed the entries for the Franchise Excellence in Email Awards. From creative design to compelling content, franchise businesses not only understand email marketing, they use it to help build strong customer relationships. We are so pleased to recognize our three winning franchises for outstanding email marketing success."

The Franchise Excellence in Email Awards attracted submissions from franchisors and franchisees across the country and spanned multiple industries. The winning entries were selected in the following three categories:

Best in Show 2009: Abrakadoodle

This award-winning franchise impressed the judges with its high open rates and significant subscriber growth by using best practices and continually incorporating reader feedback into future campaigns.

Best Overall B2C Email Campaign: Geeks On Call

High open and click-through rates caught the judges' attention, but it was the creative use of templates and content designed to meet the needs of their audience, that helped Geeks On Call win in this category.

Best Overall B2B Email Campaign: EmbroidMe

In the challenging B2B category, EmbroidMe set the bar high with diverse, yet relevant content that met the needs of its audience and led to a significant increase in sales directly attributed to its email campaigns.

Honorable Mentions:

Constant Contact also would like to recognize the following franchises for receiving an honorable mention for their creativity and success in email marketing: BlackJack Pizza®, Great Clips®, SignARama®, and WSI.

In addition to national recognition, the winner in each category will receive a customized Constant Contact email marketing template for their franchise and twelve months free use of Constant Contact Email Marketing for one franchisee*.

"Among the many excellent entries I reviewed, those that stood out to me were from the franchises that clearly understood their customer bases and used email marketing to communicate about their specific needs," said Libava. "I, myself, learned a lot about email marketing during the review process, and believe that franchises of all sizes can learn valuable marketing tips from these three winning organizations."
