Lewiston, ID, March 29, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Adhering to email marketing best practices is a matter of ethics and integrity. Constant Contact developed the All Star Program to honor customers and business partners for their email marketing success and continued commitment to following best practices. Fewer than 15% of Constant Contact's more than 250,000 customers met the company's requirements for inclusion in the All Star Program.

Lisa Manyon of Write On ~ Creative Writing Services, LLC. based in Lewiston, Idaho was notified her business has been named a member of Constant Contact's All Star Program. Manyon's online business was selected for meeting Constant Contact's high standards for email marketing excellence throughout 2008.

Manyon says, "I'm honored to be recognized for email marketing best practices. I take great care to respect the integrity of email marketing and deliver only relevant and requested information, never sending unsolicited email or adding people to my subscriber base without permission.
