Win-Back

A flow triggered when a past customer has been inactive for a defined period (usually 60-120 days). The last attempt before a subscriber is sunset.

A win-back flow is triggered when a past customer has been inactive for a defined period — no purchases, no opens, no clicks — typically 60-120 days. The goal is to reactivate them with a strong incentive or a compelling new reason to engage before giving up on the relationship entirely.

A standard win-back is a 2-3 email sequence: a "we miss you" soft opener, an escalated offer in the middle, and a final "last chance" message. If all three go unopened, the subscriber is typically moved to a sunset segment and excluded from further sends to protect list deliverability.
