How to Use PostSheet for Customer Reactivation and Win-Back Campaigns

Not every customer churns because they’re unhappy.

Sometimes they forget. Get distracted. Put things on pause.
That means a thoughtful, well-timed reactivation email can turn a lost customer into a returning one — with almost no extra effort.

With Google Sheets + PostSheet, you can send personalized win-back emails that feel like a check-in, not a sales pitch — and do it at scale.

Let’s break down how to bring old customers back with messages that work.


🧲 Why Reactivation Campaigns Work

Reactivation emails are one of the highest ROI campaigns you can run, because:

✅ You already paid to acquire these users
✅ They’re familiar with your product/service
✅ You can speak directly to past usage
✅ Even low response rates yield high returns

The key? Make the message feel personal, relevant, and human.


📋 Step 1: Create Your Inactive Customer List in Google Sheets

Start with customers who haven’t engaged recently — and organize by last activity, reason for churn, or plan type.

Optional: last plan value, support interactions, renewal history, feature usage


✉️ Step 2: Write a Friendly, Non-Salesy Win-Back Template in PostSheet

Here’s one that feels like a personal check-in:

Copy

Subject: Still thinking about {{Product Used}}?

Hi {{Name}},

We noticed you haven’t been active since {{Last Activity}}, and we just wanted to check in.

If {{Churn Reason}} is still the case — totally understandable. But if the timing’s better now, we’d love to help you jump back in.

As a quick nudge, here’s a little offer: **{{Custom Offer}}**  

👉 {{CTA Link}}

Let us know if you have any questions or want help getting started again!

– [Your Team]

Make it sound like you actually remember them — because you kind of do.


🚀 Step 3: Filter and Send with PostSheet

To run your win-back campaign:

  1. Filter by last activity, plan type, or reason for churn
  2. Connect your sheet to PostSheet
  3. Map fields like {{Product Used}}, {{Custom Offer}}, {{Churn Reason}}
  4. Preview every message for tone and clarity
  5. Send immediately or schedule for the best reactivation window

You can track opens and replies by tagging your sheet or using your email platform’s analytics.


🔁 Bonus: Test Multiple Offers

Try A/B testing:

  • Discount vs. free trial
  • Feature unlock vs. exclusive content
  • Invite-only access to a new version
  • “We saved your data” reminder
  • “Here’s what’s new since you left”

You can segment your sheet or add a column to tag test groups.


🧠 Smart Reactivation Triggers

  • 30/60/90 days of inactivity
  • End of trial but no upgrade
  • Cancelled subscription with usage history
  • Paused account with previous high engagement
  • Downgrade from paid to free

Wherever there’s a drop-off, there’s an opportunity to re-engage.
