Prompt objective
Win back inactive customers (30-90 days without purchase) using headlines that reignite the original pain point and create genuine urgency to return.
Real use case
A natural cosmetics e-commerce brand has 12,000 customers who haven't purchased in 60+ days. Their reactivation email open rate is at 8% (industry average: 14%), and they need headlines that double this rate.
Customize these fields first
Replace the placeholders with your own context before you run the prompt. That usually improves the first output more than adding more instructions later.
Prompt
Create 15 headlines using the PAS framework for reactivation campaigns targeting inactive customers of [COMPANY NAME], operating in the [INDUSTRY] sector, with target audience of [PERSONA].
Campaign context:
- Customer inactivity period: [30/60/90] days
- Average order value: $[AMOUNT]
- Probable churn reasons: [LIST 3 REASONS]
- Available reactivation offer: [DISCOUNT/GIFT/FREE SHIPPING]
**For each headline, structure the PAS:**
- **P (Problem)**: Remind the customer of the problem that initially prompted their purchase
- **A (Agitation)**: Amplify the consequence of not solving it — what has worsened since they stopped engaging?
- **S (Solution)**: Position the return as the smart decision, with real scarcity
**Create 3 groups of 5 headlines:**
1) **Time scarcity** — real deadline ('Last 48 hours to...')
2) **Inventory/availability scarcity** — limited quantity ('Only 23 units remaining...')
3) **Opportunity scarcity** — irreversible loss ('Your exclusive benefit expires...')
**For each headline, provide:**
- Main headline (max. 12 words)
- Email preview text (max. 90 characters)
- Emotional trigger activated (FOMO, nostalgia, loss, belonging)
- Aggressiveness level (1-5) — consider segment sensitivity
- Compliance note: flag if scarcity must be genuine under applicable consumer protection regulations
Tone: [EMPATHETIC/DIRECT/PROVOCATIVE]. Goal is to re-engage without appearing desperate.Open directly in an AI — the text is pre-filled:
