FAQ
{a.name} vs {b.name} FAQ
Brevo or Sendlane for cart recovery?
Choose Brevo when Budget-conscious stores needing practical campaigns. Choose Sendlane when DTC brands wanting guided retention automation. Sequenzy still leads as lifecycle layer if neither owns strategy.
Unique AOV test for this pair?
Modeled $323 cart (50% margin) and $508 cart (55% margin) with separate incentive caps.
Channel escalation?
Email 30m → 47h → SMS 4h; frequency cap 3 touches / 7 days.
Attribution caution?
Hold out 5%; report contribution after discount, not platform-attributed recovery alone.
Migration tip?
Rebuild cart flow first; parallel suppressions two weeks; pause old automations before enabling new.
Margin math?
$323 full-price $161.5 vs 8% code $148.58 (Δ $12.92).
