Getting your prospect's email address is just part of the problem; what to do with that valuable information after you attain it is the most important aspect of the equation.</p>
<p>To organize, maintain, market to and <b>keep a growing email list interested</b>, we suggest utilizing the tools provided by a company like <a href="http://www.constantcontact.com/index.jsp?pn=allbusinessauctions" title="Constant Contact">Constant Contact</a>.</p>
<p>Our partner company, <a href="http://allbusinessauctions.com">All Business Auctions</a>, has recently become a business partner with <a href="http://www.constantcontact.com/index.jsp?pn=allbusinessauctions">Constant Contact</a>. I met <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/profile?goback=%2Econ&amp;viewProfile=&amp;key=14305937&amp;jsstate=.conbro_0_*51_false_*2_3045" title="Lisa Sparks">Lisa Sparks</a>, the South Florida Regional Director for Constant Contact, at a recent conference of eBay sellers. I was impressed with Lisa and her very animated presentation of the Constant Contact product...enough to ask if All Business Auctions could offer the Constant Contact services to our clients. Lisa was more than pleased to help us help our clients with the very important task of managing an email marketing campaign and surveys from an easy to use application.</p>
<p><b>To my knowledge, Constant Contact is the only email marketing and survey management company actively working to improve their product for eBay sellers</b>. Staying in contact with your buyers through more efficient and attactive methods than the simple tools eBay provides can increase sales and customer retention. Take a moment to look at what Constant Contact offers.  <b>I think you will find the tools and the service impressive.</b></p>
