It completely rebrands for us and offers quite affordable solutions. However, we do a lot of e-commerce sites so our users clearly require this services for their online services. It's not a huge revenue stream for us at all, but sometimes it's a deal maker when we offer all-in-one services.

I'm not sure what you mean by "rebranding completely." We can only change the masthead to a pre-fabbed background, and change the name of the account - text based. We didn't notice an option to upload the company logo, or change the fonts to match our online font set. Perhaps I've overlooked the full branding feature set. I do like the simplicity of the system. For smaller campaigns, this seems like a good way to go. Thanks, Matthew.

I mean Gmail is so good and easy to use. Is it like hosting, which at this point you might as well just throw the hosting in as a carrot it is so cheap. How much of a revenue stream?

You can get a lot of insight into customer behavior that you can't get with one-way communications via a traditional email client. (And no, I don't work for CM. They just have a cool product.) Matthew - this is a really interesting idea. I'll have to explore this option. @torkil – I’ve been using CM a lot lately, and I’m pretty sure you could easily convince customers to abandon Outlook once they see some of the reporting and tracking features CM offers.

Do they let designers rebrand completely as well? @torkil: Agree that this is absolutely a hurdle, especially when the list gets to be quite big. @somecallmejosh: Actually, I don’t know Josh, as I haven’t played with Constant Contact.

Just starting out on the road to explain what benefits such survices have can be a real pain: Irritated customer: I have to pay PR EMAIL!?!? I might as well just use outlook to e-mail the people on my mailing list then!
