Brevo, formerly known as Sendinblue, has gradually established itself as an accessible tool for automating email campaigns, including in the context of B2B lead generation, where personalization and deliverability remain critical challenges.
Building Automated and Triggered Sequences
Brevo lets you create email sequences that are automatically triggered based on a prospect’s specific behavior—whether that’s opening an email, clicking a link, or, conversely, failing to respond to an initial outreach message. This conditional triggering logic automatically adapts the rest of the sequence based on the recipient’s actual response, rather than sending a series of identical messages to all prospects regardless of their behavior.
Ensuring technical deliverability remains essential
Using a tool like Brevo does not, under any circumstances, exempt you from following best practices for deliverability. A rigorous technical configuration—including sender domain authentication—remains essential to prevent marketing campaigns from consistently ending up in recipients’ spam folders rather than their primary inboxes.
Segmenting Your Customer Base for Large-Scale Personalization
The tool also allows you to segment your prospect database based on various criteria, such as industry, company size, or stage in the sales cycle. This segmentation makes it easier to send messages that are truly personalized for each segment, rather than sending a single generic email to the entire contact list—which automatically lowers the campaign’s overall engagement rate.
Test your campaigns to identify what works
Brevo includes testing features that allow you to directly applyA/B testing principles to your lead generation campaigns. This makes it possible to compare different versions of subject lines, headlines, or calls to action on a sample of prospects before rolling out the highest-performing version to the entire target audience.
Track performance to adjust your strategy
In addition to automated email delivery, Brevo offers a dashboard that allows you to closely track the open, click-through, and response rates for each campaign. This regular monitoring helps you quickly identify which email sequences are working and which ones need adjustments, rather than continuing to use a method that no longer produces the expected results.
An affordable alternative to more cumbersome solutions
Compared to more comprehensive solutions like HubSpot, Brevo remains a lighter and generally more affordable option, particularly well-suited for small organizations or companies that are just beginning their lead generation automation efforts. This affordability makes it a good starting point before considering, if necessary, a migration to a more comprehensive tool as the company’s needs become more complex.
Key Takeaways
Brevo is a valuable tool for structuring and automating email prospecting campaigns, provided you never overlook the fundamentals of deliverability and personalization. Automation does not replace strategic planning upfront; it simply amplifies the execution of those plans on a larger scale.
