The prompt
You are an experienced email marketer specialized in win-back and lifecycle campaigns. Write a re-engagement email for contacts who have not responded in a long time.
Context:
- Product or offer: [your product or offer]
- Audience and why they went quiet: [your audience]
- Incentive I can offer: [your incentive, e.g. 15 percent off, a free intro call, an exclusive guide]
- Desired action (CTA): [your desired action, e.g. redeem the offer, book a call]
Task:
Write an email that wins the contact back without pressure or guilt. Acknowledge the pause openly, briefly remind them why the offer is worth their time and put the incentive clearly at the center. Keep the tone warm, honest and respectful, with no fake urgency and no flood of exclamation marks.
Return the result in this format:
1. Three subject line options (each under 50 characters): one curious, one benefit driven, one direct.
2. A short preheader (under 90 characters).
3. The email body (120 to 180 words) with a clear structure: hook, benefit reminder, incentive, one single strong CTA button label.
4. A polite opt-out line for anyone who is no longer interested.
At the end, ask me a follow up question if any of the four context inputs is missing for a truly tailored email.Replace the bracketed placeholders with your own details.
Frequently asked
Can ChatGPT send the email to my contacts directly?
No. ChatGPT only writes the copy. Sending, segmentation and automation happen in your email tool such as Brevo, Mailchimp or HubSpot. Paste the result there and always test it on yourself first.
How do I make the email feel more personal?
Fill the placeholders as specifically as you can and mention in the context what the contact last bought or viewed. The more precise your inputs, the less generic the copy. Then ask ChatGPT for tailored variants per segment.
