${header:potential}
Below are key drivers of Constant Contact's value that present opportunities for upside or downside to the current Trefis price estimate for Constant Contact:
Content Marketing
-
Total Customers
: Constant Contact's average customer base has increased from approximately 128,000 in 2007 to 527,500 in 2012 as a result of growth in business and enhanced product offerings like email marketing, social media marketing, event management and group buying. Growing demand for content marketing has been the key driver of Constant Contacts success. If the firm is able to grow its customer base by 15% each year reaching 1.2 million customers during the Trefis forecast period instead of the rate that we forecast there could be potentially be a 7% upside to our price estimate. If however growth slows down and Constant Contacts is able to only expand its customer base to 955 thousand customers instead of the 1 million that we currently forecast, then there could be a potential downside of 10% to the Trefis price estimate for Constant Contact's stock.
