Whether you’re looking to reduce costs, simplify your email marketing…
If you’re considering moving away from Brevo, you’re in good company. Many UK businesses are making the switch to Email Blaster to benefit from transparent pricing, secure UK data hosting, unlimited contact storage and friendly UK-based support.
Whether you’re looking to reduce costs, simplify your email marketing or move your customer data back to the UK, switching platforms is easier than you might think.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through the migration process and explain why so many organisations are choosing Email Blaster over Brevo.
Why Businesses Are Switching from Brevo
Brevo offers a broad suite of marketing tools, including email marketing, SMS, CRM and marketing automation. While this all-in-one approach appeals to some businesses, others find themselves paying for features they rarely use.
Many organisations switch to Email Blaster because they want:
- UK-based email marketing software
- UK customer support
- Secure UK data storage
- Unlimited contact storage
- Transparent pricing based on emails sent
- An easy-to-use drag-and-drop email builder
- A platform focused purely on email marketing
If email marketing is your primary focus, Email Blaster provides all the tools you need without unnecessary complexity.
Step 1 – Export Your Contacts from Brevo
The first step is to export your contacts from your Brevo account.
We recommend exporting:
- Active subscribers
- Unsubscribed contacts
- Hard bounced email addresses
- Custom contact fields
- Segments and lists where appropriate
Keeping your unsubscribe and suppression lists is essential for maintaining a healthy sender reputation after switching platforms.
Step 2 – Create Your Email Blaster Account
Setting up an Email Blaster account takes just a few minutes.
Once you’re logged in, you’ll have immediate access to:
- Drag & Drop Email Builder
- Responsive email templates
- Smart Automation
- Personalisation and mail merge
- Subscriber segmentation
- Analytics and reporting
- A/B Testing
- Signup forms
- Unlimited contact storage
- UK-based support
There are no complicated setup procedures, and our support team is always available if you need a hand during your migration.
Step 3 – Import Your Subscriber Lists
Importing your contacts into Email Blaster is quick and straightforward.
Simply upload your CSV file and map your contact fields, including:
- Email address
- First name
- Last name
- Company
- Telephone number
- Any custom fields
Monthly Email Blaster accounts support up to 50 custom mail merge fields, giving you plenty of flexibility for personalised campaigns.
Step 4 – Verify Your Sending Domain
Before sending your first campaign, you’ll want to authenticate your sending domain.
Adding SPF and DKIM records helps improve:
- Email deliverability
- Inbox placement
- Sender reputation
- Trust with major email providers
If you’ve already authenticated your domain with Brevo, you’ll still need to configure the required records for Email Blaster. Our UK support team can guide you through the process if needed.
Step 5 – Refresh Your Email Templates
Rather than recreating your old campaigns exactly as they were, many businesses use the migration as an opportunity to modernise their email designs.
With Email Blaster’s drag-and-drop editor, you can quickly build professional newsletters by simply dragging content blocks into place.
You can easily add:
- Images
- Buttons
- Videos
- Social media links
- Personalised content
- Branded colour schemes
Every template is fully responsive, ensuring your emails look great on desktops, tablets and smartphones.
Step 6 – Rebuild Your Automations
If you currently use Brevo’s automation features, these will need to be recreated within Email Blaster.
This is often the perfect opportunity to simplify existing workflows and remove automations that are no longer needed.
Popular automations include:
- Welcome email sequences
- Customer onboarding
- Birthday emails
- Follow-up campaigns
- Re-engagement emails
Once recreated, they’ll continue running automatically with minimal maintenance.
Step 7 – Send a Test Campaign
Before sending to your entire mailing list, it’s always worth carrying out a few test sends.
Check that:
- Personalisation is working correctly
- Images display properly
- Links are functional
- Emails look good on mobile devices
- Your unsubscribe link is present
- Your branding appears as expected
Once everything looks right, you’re ready to launch your first campaign.
Why Choose Email Blaster Instead of Brevo?
There are plenty of reasons why businesses choose Email Blaster as their long-term email marketing platform.
Transparent Pricing
Unlike platforms with complex pricing structures, Email Blaster offers straightforward pricing based on the number of emails you send.
Better still, you can store unlimited contacts without paying extra simply because your database has grown.
UK-Based Support
When you need help, you’ll speak directly to an experienced member of our UK support team.
No chatbots.
No outsourced call centres.
Just friendly, knowledgeable support via telephone, email or live chat.
Secure UK Data Hosting
Unlike many international email marketing providers, Email Blaster securely stores customer data within UK data centres.
For businesses that prefer to keep their marketing data within the UK, this provides additional reassurance around data governance and compliance.
Built Specifically for Email Marketing
Brevo includes CRM, SMS marketing and a wide range of additional features.
For many businesses, those extra tools simply aren’t required.
Email Blaster focuses on doing one thing exceptionally well: helping organisations create, send and track professional email marketing campaigns.
This results in a cleaner interface, a simpler learning curve and a platform that’s easy for anyone to use.
Powerful Personalisation
Personalised emails consistently outperform generic campaigns.
Email Blaster makes it easy to personalise your communications using custom fields, segmentation and dynamic content, helping you build stronger relationships with your subscribers.
Will Switching Affect My Deliverability?
Changing email marketing platforms doesn’t automatically affect your deliverability.
As long as you:
- Authenticate your sending domain
- Import only permission-based subscribers
- Exclude bounced and unsubscribed contacts
- Send consistently
- Maintain good list hygiene
you should continue to achieve strong inbox placement.
For businesses sending larger volumes, gradually increasing your sending volume over the first few campaigns can also help establish a strong sender reputation.
How Long Does It Take to Move from Brevo?
Most businesses complete the migration within a few hours.
Larger organisations with multiple templates, automations and extensive subscriber databases may need a little longer, but the overall process is straightforward.
And if you encounter any issues, the Email Blaster support team is always on hand to help.
Ready to Switch from Brevo?
If you’re looking for an email marketing platform that’s simple to use, competitively priced and backed by knowledgeable UK-based support, Email Blaster is an excellent alternative to Brevo.
With unlimited contact storage, powerful automation, advanced personalisation, detailed reporting and secure UK data hosting, you’ll have everything you need to create successful email marketing campaigns.
