Win-Back Email Template — Trial Ended

A serious, no-spin re-engagement email for lapsed trial users, with a quiet corner-framed hero, a 30-day extended-trial offer, and a recap of what they accomplished.

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 qVfXFeJmBGsuiq0KPFZsg and rebrand. For the full model, point an MCP agent at get_conceptemail-structure, layouts-vs-emails, design-recipes.

A direct, no-spin comeback email for users whose free trial just ended. A quiet, corner-framed indigo hero leads with the honest truth (“your trial ended”), then pivots to what they accomplished, what they’d lose, and a clear path back with an extended-trial code. For B2B SaaS audiences who appreciate plain talk over breathless hype.

Make it yours

  1. Swap the offer (COMEBACK30, 30-day extension) for your actual comeback deal — discount, extended trial, or skipped credit-card step.
  2. Replace the recap bullets with the real artifacts your users left behind (projects, files, draft campaigns). Specificity converts.
  3. Recolor the indigo hero + accent to your brand — the gradient recolors with it.

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.
