How long does it take to migrate from Mailchimp to Brevo?
A skilled expert can typically complete the migration in 1-2 weeks, including contact import, campaign recreation, and automation setup. The timeline depends on your current campaign complexity and integration requirements.
What's the difference between a Brevo expert and someone who just knows email marketing?
A true Brevo expert understands the platform's specific automation capabilities, API limitations, and integration possibilities. They can build complex workflows that casual email marketers couldn't create and know how to optimize for Brevo's unique features.
How does Brevo compare to ActiveCampaign for automation?
Brevo offers similar automation capabilities but with a more intuitive interface and better SMS integration. ActiveCampaign has more advanced CRM features, but Brevo is typically easier to implement and more cost-effective for mid-market businesses.
What should I expect to pay for setting up comprehensive Brevo automation?
Initial setup for a complete customer lifecycle automation system typically takes 20-40 hours, depending on complexity. This includes strategy development, workflow creation, integration setup, and testing. Ongoing optimization and management requires 5-10 hours monthly.
Can someone work effectively with Brevo remotely?
Absolutely. Brevo is entirely cloud-based, and most configuration work can be done remotely. The key is finding someone who communicates well about strategy and can document their workflow setups clearly for your team.
How do I know if my Brevo setup is working optimally?
A good Brevo expert will establish clear KPIs beyond open rates, including conversion rates, revenue attribution, and automation performance. They should provide regular reports showing how campaigns contribute to business goals and suggest continuous improvements.
