Emailing

Based on the reviews and findings, we realize that the main service offered for your website by Sendinblue remains this one. It is focused on email marketing and transactional emailing. According to the reviews, you will therefore do well not to expect a cold email marketing creation on so-called non-opt-in email addresses with Sendinblue. Once your account is created, it is checked and validated by the solution team, which also has the full right to refuse it. The ideal would then be to scrupulously respect certain essential criteria in order to avoid any suspension of account. These are:

Sending SMS

This is the second feature to discover that Sendinblue support has offered since its launch in 2012 for effective email campaign creation. As you must guess, SMS without a doubt is the ideal complementary service to accompany the creation of emails in digital marketing. Sendinblue offers the sending of transactional or promotional SMS and it should be noted that sending SMS from the software is as easy as sending an email according to the reviews.

The cat

Here's a feature to check out, which is just as essential to accompany the software in our opinion, but is rather low profile in consideration of the veterans of the field. This is also a very easy feature to discover with this support and to use, offering you the possibility to operate settings, customizations and administration of the chat to use it with ease.

The CRM

CRM on the other hand is a feature that is not yet sufficiently developed in the software. It is indeed much more like a contact manager than a real CRM. That's why Sendinblue is most often associated with CRM software. It is a feature that the user can discover and use with ease, as most of the opinions point out, precisely those who opt for the creation of companies or VSEs.

Marketing automation

The third major pillar to discover of this software is the marketing automation which is very important if we look at the number of favorable reviews it generates in the trade. The automation concept makes the solution very intuitive. It becomes very easy and above all very flexible to set up automations with the support used.

The chat is also the other feature to discover that it is impossible not to mention among the many features that this campaign creation software offers for your website. As in the case of the previous software, the chat function, although very useful in our opinion, is still behind the specialists in the sector already on the market. This is a service through which you benefit from chatbot, marketing notifications, satisfaction surveys, etc.

The CRM is one of the least advanced features of the software to date and is much more of a contact manager than a true CRM.

The marketing automation module also comes with the email creation software that is Sarbacane, and allows you to parameterize the automation of the sending of emails in order to improve their efficiency. In our opinion and according to many, automation offers real time savings.
