Re-engagement

The "are you still in?" re-engagement email

Win back inactive subscribers — or let them go gracefully.

A short, honest email to readers who haven't opened in a while. Better deliverability, better list, better readers.

# Quick check-in

Hey — it's {{YOUR_NAME}} from **{{NEWSLETTER_NAME}}**.

I noticed you haven't opened the last few issues, and that's totally fair.
Inboxes change. Interests change. I'd rather send to people who actually
want to hear from me than pad a number.

So a quick ask:

- **Want to stay?** Just click here and you're set: [{{KEEP_CTA}}]({{KEEP_URL}})
- **Want out?** No hard feelings — [unsubscribe in one click]({{UNSUB_URL}}).

If I don't hear back in the next two weeks, I'll quietly remove you. You
can always come back later — the archive lives at {{ARCHIVE_URL}}.

Either way, thank you for the time you've already given me.

— {{YOUR_NAME}}

Use it when

  • A chunk of your list hasn't opened in 60–90 days
  • Your open rates are sliding
  • You want quality over vanity numbers

How to customize

Anything in {{DOUBLE_BRACES}} is a placeholder — replace it with your own copy. Keep the structure, change the words.
