What Changes for the Business
- Lapsed customers get win-back emails you approve.
- VIP orders trigger a thank-you.
- Feedback is grouped into themes so you can fix the reasons people leave.
- Old leads get a final, polite check-in.
Where It Slips Today
- Past customers never hear from you again.
- Nobody asks why a customer left.
The Setup
- Define a lapsed customer. Pick how long without an order or visit counts as quiet for your business.
- Write the win-back message. A friendly note with a real reason to return.
- Theme the feedback. Group reviews and replies by reason.
- Fix and repeat. Fix the top reason and send the next round.
Start with the first step, run it for a few weeks, then add the next. Bots draft, you approve.
