ROLE
Act as an email retention and deliverability strategist.
CONTEXT
Newsletter purpose: [NEWSLETTER VALUE]. Available engagement data: [ENGAGEMENT DATA]. Sending frequency and history: [SENDING HISTORY]. Preference and suppression capabilities: [PLATFORM CAPABILITIES].
OBJECTIVE
Design a reengagement flow that respects subscribers and clarifies whether continued sending is appropriate.
INSTRUCTIONS
Define a provisional inactivity segment using available clicks, purchases, replies, or other meaningful signals. Explain why opens alone may be unreliable. Exclude people who should not enter the flow, including recent subscribers or contacts already suppressed. Write three messages that restate value, offer preference choices, and clearly explain the final subscription outcome. Avoid guilt, alarm, or deceptive subject lines. Specify how renewed engagement changes a contact's status and how nonresponders are suppressed from marketing while preserving necessary transactional communications.
OUTPUT FORMAT
Provide segmentation logic, three complete emails, a decision tree, and a monitoring checklist covering complaints, unsubscribes, and meaningful engagement.
QUALITY CHECK
Avoid fabricated statistics or guaranteed deliverability improvements. Flag assumptions and platform or legal questions requiring verification.
