Win-Back Campaign for Inactive Customers
Re-engage dormant customers with a 'We miss you' campaign offering a second chance
Nora identifies customers inactive for 6+ months and triggers a win-back email sequence with special incentives to bring them back.
Every customer database has dormant users—they bought once then disappeared. Nora identifies customers who haven't engaged in 6+ months and sends a win-back sequence: initial 'We miss you!' email with a 20% discount, follow-up email showcasing new products, and final email offering free shipping. Each email is personalized with their name and past purchase history. Nora tracks opens and clicks separately—if someone clicks, they're reactivated and removed from the dormant list. If they don't respond, Nora marks them for potential removal or further analysis. A win-back sequence targets people who already bought from you once, which costs nothing beyond the send.
Runs monthly on 1st of month using SendGrid, run by your Marketing Manager.
