Constant Contact Labs is committed to the research of new technologies in support of our mission to bring innovative new services and products to our small business customers. To that end, we’ve been looking very closely at Location-based services and technology.
Location-based services have their roots in local search but have recently begun to penetrate all aspects of our daily lives. From how and where consumers shop, to the way in which they interact with their social networks, to the places they visit, Location-based services are used in combination to enhance these experiences.
I recently decided to learn Android programming and of course I wanted to use the Constant Contact Web Services, but I also wanted to program against some other features of my phone (that’s why I bought it in the first place!). I was trying to think a little “outside the box” and still have a useful application. I thought about using maps, photos, or GPS, but ultimately decided that bar code scanning would be fun! The result is Coupon Tracker for Constant Contact.
All this week, Constant Contact will be at TechCrunch Disrupt. Throughout the week (Mon-Wed), I’ll be updating the presentations and what the buzz is through our blog. Stay tuned for updates if you aren’t able to be there! I’ll be commenting on the technology and how it will impact Small Businesses and Organizations.

Labs is pleased to announce a beta release of the new Live Feedback system. Live Feedback is a Labs-developed system that makes it easy for Constant Contact users to interact with their customers using text messages.
Learned new tools from my business.
