Email Marketing Video Tutorial #2: Why and How to Verify Your Email Address

In this video tutorial, we are going to learn why and how to verify your email address in Constant Contact? First, why do you need to verify your email address? The main reason is all email addresses used in Constant Contact need to comply with the email marketing industry standards. The first email address you use to sign up will automatically verify and become the default “From” address in your email marketing campaign. It is also used as the main contact and billing address which is marked as (C) and (B) besides your email address when viewed under the “My Settings > Verify Address” in Constant Contact.

However, there may be times where you need to use more than one email address, see reasons here. To add in a new address and get it verify, follow the steps below. Alternatively, you can watch the video tutorials “How to Verify New Email Address” at the bottom of the post.
