Why stores switch
Why Shopify stores switch from Constant Contact
Constant Contact is built for restaurants, nonprofits and event organisers as much as stores. Emailwish is built for store owners who want their marketing to run on their store's data.
Emails done, without writing one.
Emailwish pulls your store name, logo, products and brand details from Shopify, writes the emails in your voice and switches on about 10 flows: welcome, abandoned cart, review request, form signup, chat follow-up and more.
Five tools, one bill.
Popups, product reviews, live chat and wishlists come with every plan, including Free. No extra review or chat subscription, no integrations to keep in sync.

Mix wishlists, chats, reviews and popup signups with order history in one segment: a VIP who left a negative review recently, or a shopper who saved a jacket and asked about sizing in chat. Constant Contact has no chat, review or wishlist data of its own, and Lite allows one custom segment.
