How do we define “Engagement”? Committed to a long-term relationship Proactively involved Emotionally, psychologically, and physically connected Simply “Satisfying” customers is not enough  Customers may be pleased with your service or product but lack an emotional connection to your company  Can result in customer attrition for minor reasonsSource; “Measuring Customer Engagement”, a commissioned study conducted by Forester Consulting on behalf of Adobe Systems Inc., May 2008CONFIDENTIAL Copyright © 2011Constant Contact, Inc. 4

Organizations that create a high level of engagementwith their customers are more successful than thosewho don’t! Fully engaged customers represent an average 23% premium in terms of share of wallet, profitability, revenue and relationship growth Actively disengaged customers represent a 13% discount in those same measuresSource: Customer Engagement, What’s Your Engagement Ratio?, Gallup Consulting, 2009CONFIDENTIAL Copyright © 2011Constant Contact, Inc. 5

Why Customer Engagement is critical to our long- term success We believe successful use of our products and services (as measured by engagement) will compel our customers to stay longer, buy more, and advocate for CTCT. The challenge is to develop an engagement score, all inclusive of the key metrics that measure and drives a customer’s engagement with CTCT’s products and services. The goal of our Customer Success Index (CSI) is to put a tool into the hands of those employees who influence customers that provides clear direction for educating and coaching them toward a higher level of engagement.CONFIDENTIAL Copyright © 2011Constant Contact, Inc. 6

So what is CSI? Q: Is it something that predicts future behaviors? A: It’s a measurement of a customer’s level of engagement at any point in time. Q: Is it a complex, multivariate, canonical correlation analysis of discriminant, recursive clusters? A: It’s a simple summation of multiple engagement scores Q: Is it something our customers would find difficult to follow? A: All components of the CSI score must be actionable!CONFIDENTIAL Copyright © 2011Constant Contact, Inc. 7
