Re-Engaging Inactive Subscribers

Every list accumulates people who signed up once, maybe opened the welcome email, and then quietly stopped reading without ever unsubscribing. They're not gone. They're just sitting there, counted in your total subscriber number, dragging down every engagement metric you look at, and doing nothing for you or against you. Most newsletter writers ignore this group entirely, because the subscriber count on the dashboard keeps going up regardless and that number feels good to watch, even when a growing share of it isn't reading a word you write.
