Integrating with Constant Contact
Constant Contact helps small businesses engage with customers and extend their outreach with their email marketing tools. With this integration, you can sync the contacts between your pipeline tool (Bigin) and your marketing tool (Constant Contact)
Let's assume your marketing campaign has generated a bunch of prospects who are likely to buy your product. Now, to convert these prospects into customers you want to add them to your sales pipeline. This integration imports the prospects in your Constant Contact account into your Bigin account. Similarly, if you want to send out an email campaign to a list of prospects in Bigin, this integration works both ways and syncs the contacts in your Bigin account to the contact lists of your Constant Contact account seamlessly.
