Cold Email List?

If it’s been a while since you sent emails and your open rates have tanked, you probably will notice that your list will feel like a ghost town…
It’s not the end, it’s a signal.
Your list went cold.
Here’s how to warm it back up and turn lost leads into real revenue.
Find Out Who’s Still Alive
Start by identifying who hasn’t opened, clicked, or bought in 60+ days.
Then, separate your list:
Engaged (keep sending as normal)
Unengaged (time to rewarm)
Use Klaviyo filters like:
📬 “Has not opened in last 90 days”
🛒 “Has not placed order since X”
This makes it easier to create targeted, respectful re-engagement.
Run a 3-Email Warmup Sequence
Send 3 emails to your cold list before cutting them off.
This is your chance to win them back.
Structure the sequence like this:
“Still Want Emails From Us?” (ask them to confirm or click)
“What You’ve Missed…” (show new products or bestsellers)
“Final Check-In” (use urgency to keep or sunset them)
Make it friendly. Add value. Avoid hard selling.
Improve What Happens After the Click
Maybe your emails weren’t the problem, your landing pages or offers were.
If they click but don’t convert, the issue is post-click.
Here’s how to fix it:
Update product pages with reviews/social proof
Offer exclusive bundles or first dibs
Test a limited-time offer only for returning subscribers
Even if only 5–10% re-engage, those buyers are usually the highest LTV.
