Constant Contact Signs on as Gold Sponsor for NACCE Conference and More
Springfield, MA, July 31, 2010 --(PR.com)-- The National Association for Community College entrepreneurship has announced that Constant Contact® (Nasdaq: CTCT), a leading provider of email marketing, event marketing, social media marketing, and online survey tools for small organizations, has agreed to be a Gold Sponsor for its upcoming 8th Annual Conference, being held in Orlando, FL, October 10-13.
Building on a relationship begun last year, the partnership also includes sponsorship of NACCE’s monthly podcast during the next 12 months. In addition, Constant Contact’s Experts Program will be featured in two NACCE webinars. The Experts Program gives educators the training and tools they need to deliver Constant Contact's signature email marketing best practices seminar - The Power of Email Marketing - to small business audiences. Experts training is offered online, is self-paced and free, and takes about 90 minutes to complete. Constant Contact will make a presentation at the NACCE Conference on the Experts Program in addition to having an exhibition booth where attendees can learn more about the program.
"Constant Contact is particularly excited to be working with NACCE because of our mutual commitment to the success of small businesses," says Barbara Langdon, senior manager of Constant Contact’s Experts Program. "In fact, until now we have made Experts training available only to Constant Contact customers and Solution Providers who use our products. So I think it's particularly appropriate - given our mutual passion for small businesses - that the first non-customers we would offer Experts training to would be NACCE members."
"We are very excited that this partnership will enable NACCE members to help entrepreneurs in their communities leverage the power of Constant Contact’s marketing tools to promote their businesses," says NACCE Executive Director, Heather Van Sickle. "In addition, I’m certain our members will also be interested in learning how Constant Contact can help them promote their own entrepreneurship education programs and events. We look forward to their presentation at the conference and to visiting their exhibition.”
According to Van Sickle, NACCE’s webinars ranked among the organization’s top three benefits in a recent NACCE membership poll. “The webinars are highly popular and the podcasts, which we started four months ago, are quickly gaining an audience,” she says. “We are confident Constant Contact will benefit from the webinars in which they’ll be featured and from the visibility they’ll receive from their podcast sponsorship. We’re working hard to assure that all of our sponsors, including Constant Contact, receive maximum value from their partnerships with us.”
