Brevo (formerly Sendinblue) is an email marketing platform that also provides marketing automation. Unlike other marketing platforms that offer multichannel marketing features, Brevo offers niche email, SMS, and IP marketing services.

A gallery of responsive email templates and a built-in HTML editor make creating new campaigns a breeze. Users can create up to eight automated workflow templates for different occasions like ‘cart abandonment reminders.’ ‘welcome emails,’ ‘birthday wishes,’ and more. Templates can be customized and messages personalized in accordance with all of your marketing requirements.

Since the number of marketing channels is limited, its services are offered at very low prices. This platform is designed for businesses operating at shoestring budgets. In fact, you can use the software for free with limited features, and gain expertise in email and mobile marketing.
