There are many great ESPs out there and we picked a handful to highlight that we know are popular with the authors we serve. Our list is definitely not exhaustive. If you are using Constant Contact to manage your email list, it would be great if you could share your experience with us in the comments.

I think this is the advance notice! I don’t disagree with anything you have said, but this kind of tech company pivot rarely ends well, and speaks to shifting priorities (both away from email and towards serving themselves rather than their customers). Yes, people have time if they are on a legacy paid monthly plan, and they are spared the worst of the changes… for now. But I’d strongly recommend at least having a Plan B ready, because I’d bet anything the hammer will drop on them some time in the next 12 months too.

Thanks for your comment, David. All valid points. We too have concerns that Mailchimp may roll out the pricing changes to legacy monthly users in the future. But we think that, even in that eventuality, users will get advance notice. What we want to highlight to authors on the monthly legacy plans is that they do have time to evaluate different options and decide what’s best for them. If they device to switch they can do it on a schedule that works for them. Waiting also give authors the added bonus of following and learning from people like you, who are making the switch and sharing your experience.

I understand that Brian. I would recommend reaching out to them if you haven’t already. It’s quite frustrating that they don’t intent to honor their agreement with customers who bought credits without an expiration date.

You’re welcome! That’s a great point. Ease of use is a huge factor, and sometimes it just comes down to what you are familiar with.
