Reengagement

Also known as: Win Back

Reengagement is the process of running a short email campaign to people who stopped opening or clicking your emails. The goal is to either win them back or remove them cleanly from your list.

Reengagement is a simple way to wake up quiet subscribers. You send a short series of emails only to people who have not opened or clicked in a while. The point is to see who still wants to hear from you and who does not. This keeps your list focused on real people who still care.

Reengagement matters because inactive contacts drag down your results and can hurt inbox placement. Email providers watch how people react to your messages. When many subscribers ignore you, it sends a bad signal. Cleaning up these contacts helps your open rates, deliverability, and costs.

A simple plan is to send two or three emails over a few weeks. Start with a friendly check in that asks if they still want your emails. Follow with something useful like a highlight of what they missed or a small offer. End with a clear note that you will stop emailing them soon if they do not interact.
