Drie manieren om uw auto te laten vastleggen
Essential, Signature of Legacy. Na uw keuze stuur ik de details die erbij horen.
Note for the online marketing specialist

When a contact clicks one of the three artwork buttons at the bottom of this email (Essential, Signature or Legacy), don’t just record the choice — also fire the matching next email in the sequence:

  • Click Essential → send email 1 (“Which photo do we use for your artwork?”)
  • Click Signature or Legacy → send email 2 (“Your car, right where it belongs”)

Send it 1 minute after the click, same as every other step in this flow. After that the sequence just continues as normal from email 4 onward. If nobody clicks anything here, email 4 still goes out on schedule — 1 day after the contact joined the list.

Note for the online marketing specialist

Each of the three buttons needs to update the contact’s lead status in Brevo and send them somewhere. None of these destinations exist yet — they still need to be built.

1) “Yes, still interested, let’s start now”
Point this button at the same link already used elsewhere in this flow for “email me your photo to get started” (the mailto: link) — no new landing page needed for the click itself. In the background, update the contact’s lead-status attribute to something like “Interested – contact now” so the click is tracked as sales-ready.
Also add a “notify team member by email” step to that automation, triggered by the click itself, so Ruben gets an internal alert the moment it happens, with the contact’s name, car and details attached. That’s Brevo’s documented pattern for exactly this situation (an automation that emails your team when a contact takes an action) and it’s what actually gets a reply out quickly — relying on someone noticing the lead-status change manually is too slow for a lead this warm.

2) “Yes, but the timing isn’t right yet, let’s pick this up later”
Needs a new landing page: a short Brevo form asking 2–3 quick questions — the occasion (birthday, anniversary, holidays, the car is leaving, etc.), the date if known, and whether it’s for themselves or a gift. Keep it as short as possible. In the background, update lead status to “Backburner – follow up later”, so it’s clear this contact needs a follow-up closer to that date.

3) “No, I’m no longer interested”
Needs a new, very simple page on the Shopify site: just a short confirmation that they’re unsubscribed from this sequence and won’t be emailed about it again. They stay on the general newsletter list — the regular unsubscribe link in every email footer still covers that separately. In the background, update lead status to “Lost – not interested”, so the lead reads as closed without removing them from marketing altogether.

Why a lead-status attribute instead of lists: a single custom contact attribute (for example LEAD_STATUS) is simpler to keep in sync than juggling list membership, and it’s easy to filter and segment on later. Brevo’s own guidance treats a status attribute plus an automatic team notification as the standard way to hand a marketing lead to sales without needing a full CRM deal pipeline. A deal per lead is a reasonable upgrade later if volume grows enough to want a visual pipeline, but it isn’t needed to get this working now.
