Which milestones work best?
Anniversaries, birthdays, and their personal milestones with your brand. Milestone emails get 2 to 3x the engagement of regular campaigns.
Do win-back emails need discounts?
Not always. New arrivals, personal notes, and milestone celebrations often outperform discounts, and they avoid training customers to wait for deals.
