If you use the “social media shares” feature of Constant Contact, here's a tip: Edit the announcement that will go out on your social media channels.
The basic default message promotes Constant Contact (example: with a hash tag for Twitter and “check out my latest Constant Contact campaign” for Facebook). You can edit that language to remove the annoying, irrelevant hash tag and promote your company or event.
Here's how to do it: On the “email settings” page where you set your subject line and select the list(s) you want to send to, scroll down to the “social sharing” section. Click on “edit” to get to the main social sharing page, then again on “edit” to change the text in the individual shares.
A bonus tip: Research shows that Facebook messages with an image get higher readership than those without, so when you're editing your text, add an image.

This Constant Contact feature annoys the heck out of me, too.
It wouldn’t bother me so much if Constant Contact was free — but we pay to use it.
