How to Write Effective Re-Engagement Emails
Re-engagement emails are your best chance to win back subscribers who've stopped opening your emails or customers who've stopped buying. With the right approach, you can reactivate up to 10-20% of your dormant list.
Why Re-Engagement Matters
- 5x cheaper: Re-engaging existing subscribers costs far less than acquiring new ones.
- Better deliverability: Removing unengaged subscribers improves your sender reputation.
- Hidden revenue: Many "inactive" subscribers just need the right message to re-activate.
- List hygiene: Those who don't respond can be safely removed.
Types of Re-Engagement Campaigns
We Miss You
Emotional appeal acknowledging their absence and expressing value.
What's New
Highlight improvements and new features since they left.
Special Offer
Incentive-driven with discounts or exclusive perks to return.
Feedback Request
Ask why they left and what would bring them back.
Re-Engagement Best Practices
- Personalize heavily: Use their name, past behavior, and preferences.
- Acknowledge the absence: Don't pretend nothing happened.
- Provide clear value: Give them a reason to re-engage.
- Make it easy: One-click reactivation when possible.
- Create urgency: Time-limited offers increase action.
- Send a series: 2-3 emails over 2 weeks, then sunset.
When to Send Re-Engagement Emails
- Email subscribers: After 60-90 days of no opens
- E-commerce customers: After 2x their typical purchase cycle
- SaaS users: 7 days after trial expires, or 30 days after last login
- Cancelled customers: 30 days after cancellation
Subject Line Strategies
- We miss you: "It's been a while, [Name]..."
- Direct question: "Is this goodbye?"
- Incentive-led: "Come back for 25% off"
- Curiosity: "Things have changed since you left"
- FOMO: "Your [benefit] is waiting"
