Automated Etsy Lapsed Buyer Win-Back Drafts

Every Monday, WebRun reviews your Etsy order history to find buyers who have not returned in over 90 days, checks Marmalead for trending keywords that might match their past purchases, and drafts a warm, personalised win-back email in Mailchimp for your approval before anything is sent.

In short

How do I automatically create win-back emails for lapsed Etsy buyers?

Every Monday, WebRun checks your Etsy order history for buyers who have not returned in over 90 days, then uses Marmalead to find trending keywords matching their past purchases. It drafts a personalised win-back campaign in Mailchimp for your review, so you can re-engage lapsed customers with a timely, relevant message.

  • Re-engage lapsed buyers with a relevant, trend-led message every week
  • Campaign drafts ready in minutes instead of hours of manual research
  • Zero risk of emailing unsubscribed contacts thanks to Mailchimp suppression

Questions, answered

Will it send the win-back email to buyers without my approval?

No. Every win-back campaign is saved as a Mailchimp draft for you to review, edit, and schedule yourself. Nothing is sent until you approve it.

How does it decide who counts as a lapsed buyer?

It flags buyers whose most recent order is more than 90 days old with no subsequent purchase. You can adjust this window during setup - for example, 60 or 120 days.

What if a buyer has unsubscribed from my mailing list?

Mailchimp automatically suppresses unsubscribed contacts, so they will never appear in the draft campaign audience regardless of their order history.

Put this on autopilot.
