Product

The SendinBlue software suite includes 3 platforms dedicated to relationship marketing:

  1. Marketing campaigns - Send newsletters/large scale campaigns, as well as SMS marketing campaigns, to contact segments.[3]
  2. Transactional - Send transactional SMTP emails/SMS to contacts based on events such as confirmation emails, password reset, etc...[4]
  3. Automation - Build "automation workflows" to send contacts personalized emails based on certain scenarios (e.g. abandoned shopping carts, sequence of emails for membership inscription, etc...).[5]

The product also offers an email editor with customizable templates, a database segmentation engine for segmenting contacts into lists for marketing campaigns, and analytics dashboards to track progress of email marketing campaigns. The service is offered in six different languages including English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, and German.[6]

The relative simplicity of SendinBlue's user interface has created a user base that consists mainly of small and medium-sized businesses that do not have in-house technical expertise.
