About BrightEyes

BrightEyes is a leading retailer specializing in sunglasses, hats, and accessories. With a 30-year history, it is the largest Australian-owned sunglasses retailer. BrightEyes operates around 23 physical stores, but since 2018, their online store has become their most significant sales channel.

 

 

Challenges Faced

BrightEyes faced several challenges with their email marketing platforms and services:

 

Platform Limitations

Their previous ESP (email service provider) Neto, was too basic and lacked the necessary functionality and options.

 

External Pressure

They experienced persistent selling from Klaviyo and a marketing agency pushing them to switch platforms despite SmartrMail meeting their needs at a lower cost.

 

Unwanted Communication

Representatives from Klaviyo continued to contact them aggressively despite clear indications to stop, causing significant annoyance.

 

 

 

How SmartrMail solved the challenges

Despite these challenges, BrightEyes successfully resolved their migration issues with the help of SmartrMail’s in-house email experts and remained satisfied with the platform’s performance and cost-effectiveness.

 

 

Enhanced Functionality and Options

SmartrMail provided more advanced features and options compared to Mailchimp, making it easier for BrightEyes to communicate with previous and existing clients through effective EDMs.

Compared to Mailchimp, SmartrMail provided advanced e-Commerce email marketing features such as triggering abandoned cart emails, personalized product recommendations, and post purchase emails. This made it easier for BrightEyes to communicate with previous and existing customers through effective EDMs.

 

Effective Migration Support

SmartrMail’s in-house email experts helped BrightEyes smoothly transition to the new system without losing any workflows from the previous email marketing tool.

We signed up to SmartrMail to open a communication line with previous and existing clients and EDMs with SmartrMail was the easiest way to do it. We originally were with Mailchimp and it was the bare basic platform. SmartrMail offered much more functionality and options for us.
