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
