Dormant is not gone. If the pass is installed, you can refresh the message without hoping they open email.

Three-step playbook

  1. 1Segment by your quiet threshold (30–60 days)
  2. 2Push a dated offer with one clear benefit
  3. 3Measure redemptions and visits over the next two weeks

Frequently asked questions

When is someone “dormant”?
Café/bakery: ~30 days. Salon: one appointment cycle (e.g. 6–8 weeks). Match your natural frequency.
How many campaigns a month?
One serious reactivation a month is plenty. More trains people to ignore you.
What offer works?
Extra stamp, free add-on or small perk with an end date. Avoid permanent deep discounts.
