The GLP-1 Side Effect Nobody's Talking About
While out on a walk with a friend last week, Vicky Countess got a comment that stuck with her: "Everyone I know is on a GLP-1." Her friend was exaggerating, Countess says, but not by much.

Meet “Tom”
This is a true story. On March 2, 2026, Constant Contact E.L.I.T.E. Partner Ken Countess attended a Chamber of Commerce luncheon and sat next to "Tom" (not his real name). "Tom" has been using email marketing for a while. “Tom” said to Ken, "I send emails out on a regular basis, but I am not sure it's working.” The business is one in which “Tom” creates videos for use by attorneys to tell a client's story. “Tom” calls them "Day in the Life" videos.

Create Powerful Emails in Under 30 Minutes
If it takes you more than 30 minutes to create emails, you're doing it wrong. The average person spends 8 seconds on emails they receive. That may get you wondering why you spend so much time creating emails. Especially if you send them on a regular basis (as you should be doing), there are a few things experts like me do to minimize the time spent creating emails. They:create "interrupter" subject lineskeep their emails to under 20 lines of texthave strong a call to action By working this way,
Not For Sale
Constant Contact E.L.I.T.E. Partner Ken Countess says: “Before you consider selling your email list, pause and think about what it truly represents.” In many cases, your list is more valuable than your website, social media following, or even your product inventory because it gives you direct access to people who have raised their hands and said, “I’m interested.” Selling it may generate short-term cash, but you lose long-term leverage. A well-nurtured list can produce recurring revenue, referrals,
Great Subject Lines Can Make All The Difference
Constant Contact E.L.I.T.E. Partner Ken Countess says: “A.I. (artificial intelligence) just seems to dominate business headlines these days.”But when you ask someone about A.I., they just seem to "glaze over" and roll their eyes. The reality is that A.I. is not new. We've been using it (or have been subjected to it) as consumers for years. For example:when we buy from Amazon,look for movies to watch on Disney, or evenwhen we book travelwhen we abandon a shopping cart The way it works is that each
This is a “No Brainer”
Constant Contact E.L.I.T.E. Partner Ken Countess says: “Business owners who've just met me - even those who've known me for awhile - often open our first conversation with this dilemma: ‘I don't know how to start an email campaign.’” Fear of failure seems to be a recurring theme. Too many people wait for that "perfect" time. The perfect time is now. “Look, if you're just starting, you'll likely make mistakes the first few times out,” Ken says. “Don't worry - people have short memories. They'll

Email vs. “Snail Mail”
Especially at this time of year, "snail mail" mailboxes are filled with ads and appeals from merchants and non-profits. “It makes sense that you step up your marketing during this season, too, to get the attention of your audience,” said Constant Contact Certified E.L.I.T.E. marketing expert Ken Countess. The benefit of email marketing is that many "snail mail" print items get discarded before they've even been opened, whereas an email, whether opened or unopened stays in the inbox until it's deleted —
When to Send
"When should I send my emails?" That’s one of the questions most asked of Constant Contact Certified E.L.I.T.E. marketing expert Ken Countess. It's simple, really. “Just look at your inbox to see when you get the greatest number of emails,” said Ken. “Then, avoid those times!” Why? “It's that you'll be competing with potentially hundreds of other senders vying for attention at that same time,” Ken continued. By way of example, Ken typically will receive upwards of 700 emails/day. Many come
Emails Are Like Dating
When you think about it, email campaigns are a lot like dating — you don’t ask someone to marry you on the first date. You use email to build strong relationships with your subscribers — not try to "sell, sell, sell" in each email you send. Constant Contact Certified E.L.I.T.E. marketing expert Ken Countess says: “Strong relationships take time, trust, and meaningful conversation.” “Instead of sending one message and hoping for a sale, focus on creating a steady cadence of valuable, relevant

Time Is Running Out
If you are on the KENISEMAIL mailing list, you saw a countdown clock counting down to Black Friday. Constant Contact Certified E.L.I.T.E. marketing expert Ken Countess asks: “Did the countdown clock get your attention?” Adding a countdown clock to your email is one of the easiest ways to drive action.

How to Get Into the Inbox – Not the Spam Folder!

Email volumes are likely to surge to record highs in the coming weeks, prompting services like Gmail and Yahoo to tighten spam filters
Don’t Sell! (Do This Instead.)
On average, people spend 8 seconds on an email. With limited time and a small screen (as they tend to check email on a smartphone or tablet), the only emails they tend to open are the ones that they might learn from. They tend not to open emails that they know (or suspect) are trying to sell something. The lesson is that you - as a sender of email - have a great opportunity to build relationships with your email campaigns. Don't waste that opportunity trying to continually sell. Use your email

How to Capture More Business More Easily
It happens all the time. You go to an event, meet someone new, and share a genuine conversation. They smile, hand you their card, and say, “I’ll follow up.” You leave feeling hopeful, maybe even excited about the possibilities. And then — silence. Days turn into weeks — maybe even months. The connection you thought had potential simply fades away. It makes marketing expert Ken Countess sad because those lost opportunities are more than missed business deals. They’re missed potential
How to Generate More Sales
When you market your business, the biggest mistake you can make is sounding like everyone else. “Great service, fair pricing, trusted experience” — those words could describe any competitor. “What sets you apart?” asks certified, globally recognized email marketing expert Ken Countess.
