Win-Back Email Template — Loyalty Reward

A warm win-back email led by a quiet corner-framed reward note, then a copyable reward code, a plain-English offer line, a single pill CTA, and a themed footer.

The prompt

Two ways to build this email in plain language. The fastest is Temway's in-editor assistant — open the chat drawer in the email editor and paste the recipe below. Or connect Claude or ChatGPT via Temway's MCP and paste it there; the agent builds the email step by step. Either way, adapt the copy and colors to your brand.

  • An email is a top-to-bottom stack of blocks — the recipe follows that order.
  • A [layout] step becomes a single image (great for heroes); everything else stays live text and links.
  • Theme the footer to match — the recipe's last step does exactly that.

Over MCP, tell your agent to clone the Temway share ogI2OXTi6Obe0smjDnsdO and rebrand. For the full model, point an MCP agent at get_conceptemail-structure, layouts-vs-emails, design-recipes.

The email that wins a lapsed shopper back with a gift, not a guilt trip. A quiet, corner-framed note says “you earned it,” a big copyable code drops the reward in their lap, and one clear button sends them straight to checkout — warm, generous, and impossible to ignore. Send it when a favorite customer has gone quiet.

Snapshot

  • Goal: re-engage a lapsed customer with a no-strings loyalty reward and drive one click back to the store.
  • Audience & tone: past buyers who have gone quiet. Warm, celebratory, a little indulgent — “we saved something for you,” never “come back or else.”
  • Palette: page #ededec · container #ffffff · text #1c1917 / #6e6d6b (muted) · accent #a3197a
  • Font: Trebuchet MS, Helvetica, sans-serif
  • Artwork: free-form layout hero — A thin colour panel bleeding off the top edge, a kicker naming the reward, and a discount figure at display scale. No button, no image., 600×320 canvas. Everything below it is native, selectable, clickable.

Build recipe

Each step is one block in the flat stack, top to bottom. [native] = a real email block. [layout] = a free-form layout embedded as a single image.

  1. [layout] Layout hero — build a free-form composition (600×320) via create_layout + set_layout_content. A thin colour panel bleeding off the top edge, a kicker naming the reward, and a discount figure at display scale. No button, no image. Alt text: “Ten pounds off, a reward just for you”.
  2. [native] Headline — text. “A little thank-you for sticking around”, fontSize: 36, color #1c1917, center.
  3. [native] Standfirst — text. “We saved this for you because it has been quiet on your end lately.”, fontSize: 20, color #6e6d6b, center.
  4. [native] Primary CTA — button. Label “Claim your discount”, fill #a3197a, color #ffffff, shapeStyle: ‘0_1’, center.
  5. [native] Body copy 1 — text. “Redeem it on anything in the shop before the code expires — no minimum spend.”, fontSize: 16, color #1c1917, center.
  6. [native] Body copy 2 — text. “New arrivals landed this week too, so there is more than one reason to come back and look around.”, fontSize: 16, color #6e6d6b, center.
  7. [native] Footer rule — divider. short (96px) rule, 1px, color #e9e9e9.
  8. [native] Footer social — social. Icon row, social.color #a3197a, style circle-outline, center.
  9. [native] Footer address — address. Postal address + unsubscribe, address.color #6e6d6b, address.fontFamily Trebuchet MS, Helvetica, sans-serif, center.

Make it yours

  1. Swap “WELCOME25” and the reward detail line for your own offer — a fixed amount, a free gift, or early access.
  2. Rewrite the intro and closing lines in your brand’s voice; keep them short and generous.
  3. Recolor the fuchsia corner-framed hero to your palette — keep one code and one clear CTA.

About re-engagement email templates

A re-engagement email targets one specific, identifiable moment: someone stopped opening. The job is to re-earn attention with a real incentive or a clean exit — not to guilt-trip a subscriber back with vague "we miss you" copy that never says why it's being sent now.

See all re-engagement templates →

How long should someone be inactive before sending a re-engagement email?

Most teams trigger a win-back after 30-90 days of no opens or logins — long enough to be a genuine lapse, not so long that the incentive has to be unreasonably large to work.

What makes a re-engagement email different from a regular promotional send?

It has to acknowledge the gap directly — "it's been a while" — rather than pretending nothing changed. The templates below open with that acknowledgment before the offer.

Should a win-back email always include a discount?

Not necessarily — the templates below pair an incentive for commerce win-backs, but the nonprofit volunteer and donor comeback template leans on reconnection and impact instead of a discount.

What should happen if someone doesn't respond to a re-engagement email?

Plan a follow-up suppression or list-cleanup step outside the email itself — a re-engagement template's job is the ask, not the list hygiene that follows it.
