Create a retention scenario Now is the time to act. The ideal way to do this is to design a retention scenario to detect people who are showing disinterest. You can first try to re-engage them with special offers, for example, and then you will have to resolve to eliminate the diehards.
Step 1: Segment Create your starting segment , which will then allow you to trigger your scenario. You can include those who, for example, have not opened your emails for 3 months. Those who have had no interaction with you for 6 months. It's up to you to set a rule to define the inactivity of your contacts.

Step 3: Inform Send a first email that is to your target audience. Tell them that it's been a long time since they opened your communications and that you would like to know why. You can also plan a hyper-incentive offer to reawaken their interest , but it is not an obligation. Finally, make it clear that without action on their part, you will soon delete their profile.
Step 4: Last call Segment the non-openers of this requalification and revalidation campaign, 15 days after the end of it. Send them a final message warning them that you are about to delete their profile. You can also tell them that they can re-register whenever they want.
Delete inactive ones This is step 5. It hurts, but it is a necessary evil for the health of your CRM. So here we go. Segment the inactive profiles one last time, and launch the deletion of these. You will then have a smaller base, certainly, but much more qualitative and above all more active! Enough to please your future reporting.
