Using constant contact as the backend for your own email marketing service

    Just like me, I'm sure that you check your bulk folder and find several newsletters for this and for that. A lot of them...well all of them use other services to send email other than constant contact... you have personal web servers, icontact, etc... but the mail i get from constant contact ALWAYS reaches my inbox... whether i want it or not.

    SO

    My question is...

    Would it be feasible or even possible to send emails (on other peoples' behalf) using constant contact for a fee much lower than what constant contact would charge?

    Basically I would get a constant contact account and then set up an email delivery service and charge users a reasonable fee for sending their emails through constant contact.

    Sure they would have to give their email list in good faith that their email addresses won't be abused... but they would pretty much be guaranteed a near 100% delivery success rate at a fraction of the cost.

    What do you guys think?

    iContact is a much better service than Constant Contact and at a lower price. They also use a service to guarantee a deliverability rate of 99%.

    They also offer more options that will allow you to do what you are trying to do in a much easier way than Constant Contact.
