Win-back campaigns: your cheapest revenue is customers you already earned

A win-back campaign contacts customers who stopped coming and gives them a reason to return. It's the cheapest revenue available to almost any business: these people already know you, already trusted you once, and cost nothing to acquire again. Most owners just never send the message.

We pull the list from whatever you have (invoices, booking history, a spreadsheet, your point of sale), segment it, write the sequence, send it, and count who came back. You see reactivated customers and the revenue they brought, tracked to the exact message that did it.

Reactivation Campaign
$2,500per campaign
plus $50 per booked appointment on a standalone campaign
Needs a signed consent warranty before we send. Included quarterly in Engine+ from month four, with no per-appointment fee there.

What's included

What we measure and report

Reactivated customers and recovered revenue

Every send is tracked. The report counts customers who returned and what they spent, so the campaign either paid for itself or we both know it didn't.

What it costs

A campaign on its own is $2,500, plus $50 for every appointment it books. Engine+ clients get one a quarter from month four, with no per-appointment fee on those.

Campaigns need a signed consent warranty before anything sends, because the texting rules are real and we follow them.

Every price we charge, on one page

Reactivation is the first play we run on our own portfolio when a list goes quiet. It's the fastest marketing math there is: the list already exists. See the portfolio

Questions owners actually ask

What if my customer list is small or old?

Small lists still pay, because everyone on one has already bought from you once and costs nothing to reach again. Old lists lose some deliverability, so we clean them first and tell you honestly what's usable.

Is texting my customers legal?

Yes, when you have permission, and the bar is higher than most owners expect. Someone being your customer is not the same as permission to text them, so we don't treat it that way. We start with email, which runs under lighter rules, and use it to ask for written permission to text. Anyone who gives it joins the text list; anyone who doesn't keeps getting email. Every message says who's sending and carries an opt-out.

How fast does this produce results?

This is the fastest thing we sell. The first sends go out within days of your approval, and the full sequence runs over two to four weeks.

Do I have to discount to win people back?

Not always. Some segments return for a reminder plus something new; some need a concrete offer. We test both and keep whichever pays more.

Will this annoy the customers I still have a shot with?

Done right, no. A short, personal message from a business someone already chose reads as attention, and the people who truly don't want to hear from you opt out with one tap, which cleans your list for free. What annoys people is volume and fakeness, and the sequence has neither: two to three messages, then we stop.
