OTTAWA -- Corel Corporation today announced an agreement with Constant Contact (www.constantcontact.com), a leading provider of Web-based permission e-mail marketing services for small businesses and associations, that will provide Corel's millions of customers with direct access to Constant Contact's permission-driven Do-It-Yourself E-mail Marketing(R) services. Now, Corel's substantial base of small business customers can quickly and easily create professional e-mail newsletters and announcements that get immediate and measurable results.

"Our goal is to provide a complete selection of the very best tools and services to meet the needs of our small business customers," said Corel CEO Amish Mehta. "Our small business customers are looking for cost-effective, easy-to-implement marketing tools that will help them grow their businesses quickly. With Constant Contact, they can deploy highly-effective, targeted e-mail campaigns that can boost their sales, brand awareness and customer loyalty immediately."

With Constant Contact, Corel customers will be able to easily and affordably build and manage e-mail lists, create e-mail newsletters, announcements and promotions as well as track e-mail campaign results.

"We are thrilled to be working with Corel - one of the top ten packaged software brands in the world," said Gail Goodman, CEO of Constant Contact. "Corel's large base of small business customers will benefit immensely from using e-mail communications to increase sales opportunities and solidify relationships with existing customers."
