Early access: send from your own mailbox today. What works

Re-engage a past contact

For old leads or past customers: says what changed since you last spoke.

Re-engagement

Free to sign up; sending costs $1 per 1,000 emails. Already have an account? Create a draft from this template. Nothing sends until you launch.

Not a cold email. This one is for people who already know you: customers, past prospects or contacts who asked to hear from you.

Fill-in starter. Text in [square brackets] is yours to write. Inboxed highlights it in the editor and won’t launch until it’s replaced.

Subject lines

  • It's been a while, {{first_name}}(used in the template)
  • Since we last spoke

Follow-ups reply in the same thread, so they’re sent as “Re:” the first subject.

The sequence: 2 emails

  1. Email 1 · day 1

    It's been a while, {{first_name}}

    Hi {{first_name}}, We spoke a while ago about [topic]. Since then we've [one real change: new feature, new service, simpler pricing]. If it's worth another look for {{company}}, I'm happy to walk you through it. If not, no problem at all. {{sender_first_name}}

  2. Email 2 · day 7 (6 days after the previous one, if there’s no reply)

    Re: It's been a while, {{first_name}}

    Hi {{first_name}}, Just following up once. Reply with "later" and I'll check back in a few months instead. {{sender_first_name}}

{{first_name}} and similar are filled from each lead; after a “|” is the text used when the field is empty. Written for any business; you fill in what changed.

When to use it

For old leads or past customers, when something real has changed since you last spoke.

Why it works

  • It leads with the change, which is the only good reason to write again.
  • Replying 'later' is offered as an easy option.

How to adapt it

  • Fill in the topic and the one real change since you last spoke.
