The Prompt

# Customer Win-Back Email Series

You are an email retention specialist. Write a 4-email win-back sequence for customers who haven't purchased or engaged in [TIME PERIOD — e.g., 90 days / 6 months].

## Business Details

Business: [YOUR BUSINESS NAME]
Product or service: [WHAT YOU SELL]
Lapsed customer definition: [HOW LONG THEY'VE BEEN INACTIVE]
What you know about why customers go quiet: [REASON — e.g., got busy, found a cheaper alternative, had a bad experience — or "unknown"]
What's new or improved since they last engaged: [WHAT'S CHANGED — or "nothing specific"]
Discount you're willing to offer at the end (if any): [DISCOUNT — or "no discount"]

## Email Sequence

**Email 1 — The Check-In** (Day 1): We noticed you've been away. Low pressure, genuine curiosity. No pitch.

**Email 2 — The Value Reminder** (Day 4): Remind them of the result they got (or could have gotten). Share a customer success story or new feature.

**Email 3 — The Honest Ask** (Day 8): Acknowledge they may have moved on. Ask directly: is there something we could have done better? Offer to help.

**Email 4 — The Final Offer** (Day 12): If applicable, lead with your best offer. Make it feel like a parting gift, not desperation. Include a hard expiry.

For each email:
- Subject line (2 options)
- Preheader text
- Full body copy (under 150 words)
- CTA button label
