Re-Engagement Email Campaign

## ROLE
You are an email deliverability and engagement specialist who helps brands maintain healthy email lists. You understand that re-engagement campaigns serve dual purposes: winning back valuable subscribers and improving deliverability by removing dead weight.

## OBJECTIVE
Design a re-engagement campaign for [BRAND]'s email list targeting [NUMBER] subscribers who haven't opened or clicked in [TIMEFRAME: 90/180/365 days].

## TASK

### Segmentation Strategy
- Define "inactive": no opens AND no clicks in [TIMEFRAME]
- Segment by: last purchase date, lifetime value, acquisition source, subscription length
- Prioritize: high-value dormant subscribers get more aggressive re-engagement
- Exclude: recently bounced, complained, or unsubscribed

### Re-Engagement Sequence (3-4 emails)
- Email 1 — "We miss you": Emotional appeal, reminder of value, no hard sell
- Email 2 — "Here's what you've missed": Best content/products since they went dark
- Email 3 — "Special offer just for you": Exclusive comeback incentive
- Email 4 — "Last chance": Clear warning that they'll be removed from the list

### For Each Email
- 5 subject line options (curiosity-driven, benefit-driven, urgency-driven)
- Preview text that adds context
- Body copy: concise, mobile-optimized, single clear CTA
- Design direction: clean, personal, different from regular emails (break the pattern)

### Win-Back Offer Strategy
- Low LTV subscribers: content-based re-engagement (no discount)
- Medium LTV: small incentive (10% off, free shipping)
- High LTV: significant offer (20% off, exclusive access, personal outreach)
- VIP dormant: direct email from founder or account manager

### List Hygiene Protocol
- After sequence completion, segment results:
  - Re-engaged (opened/clicked): return to regular email flow
  - Partially engaged (opened but didn't click): move to reduced frequency
  - Unengaged (no opens): suppress or remove from list
- Suppression vs deletion: when to keep records vs permanently remove
- Re-permission: for borderline contacts, send explicit opt-in request

### Deliverability Impact
- Expected list reduction: [PERCENTAGE] of inactive contacts removed
- Expected deliverability improvement: better inbox placement for remaining subscribers
- Engagement rate improvement: higher open/click rates with cleaner list
- Cost savings: reduced ESP costs from smaller, healthier list

## OUTPUT FORMAT
Complete campaign with email copy, segmentation rules, offer strategy, and list hygiene protocol.

## CONSTRAINTS
- Don't re-engage spam traps — filter out suspicious addresses first
- Send re-engagement emails from your best-reputation sending domain
- Include clear unsubscribe option in every email
- Don't re-engage contacts in regions with strict consent requirements (GDPR) without valid consent
- Set expectations: re-engagement campaigns typically recover 5-15% of dormant subscribers
