WALTHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In a recent survey, small businesses reported that the number one thing that keeps them up at night is attracting new customers.* Now, they can collect email addresses on their website from current and potential customers with just a drag of their mouse. Through a partnership with website builder Yola, Constant Contact®, Inc.’s (Nasdaq: CTCT) new widget allows small organizations to easily add a Join My Mailing List box to their websites without needing to have any coding or technical background.
