Body copy:

Dear [First Name],

It has been some time since your last visit, and we wanted to reach out personally.

At [Brand Name], we believe exceptional skincare is a ritual—one that evolves with you. We understand that life often demands our attention elsewhere, and when that happens, even the most cherished routines can pause.

We've been refining our formulations and expanding our collection since we last had the pleasure of serving you. Our artisans and scientists have been working together to create something quite remarkable.

If your skincare needs have shifted, or if you've been seeking something we didn't previously offer, we'd be grateful to know. Simply reply to this message—your feedback shapes everything we create.

When you're ready to return to your regimen, we'll be here.

With care,
[Name]
Client Relations, [Brand Name]

CTA: “Explore Our Latest Collection” (button)

Psychological trigger: Respectful acknowledgment of absence without guilt. Uses language of ritual and refinement that appeals to luxury sensibility. Personal signature creates connection. No urgency or pressure—patience signals confidence in product quality.

Send timing: Day 5 (4 days after Email 1)

Body copy:

[First Name],

Since your last purchase [X months] ago, our laboratories have been quietly at work.

**What's New:**

**The Midnight Restoration Serum**
A new addition to our night ritual collection. Developed over eighteen months, featuring sustainably harvested French maritime botanicals. Our most sophisticated formula to date.

**Enhanced Formulations**
We've elevated three of our signature products with rare actives previously unavailable. Same beloved textures, heightened efficacy.

**Personalised Regimen Consultations**
Our skincare advisors now offer private virtual consultations for clients seeking a tailored approach. Complimentary for returning clients.

**The Sustainable Luxe Initiative**
All packaging now uses refillable vessels in hand-finished glass. Elegance that respects the environment.

We don't share these developments with everyone—only those who appreciate the difference true craftsmanship makes.

Your regimen awaits whenever you wish to return.

Warmly,
[Name]
[Brand Name]

CTA: “Discover the New Collection” (button)

Psychological trigger: Exclusivity through selective sharing. Emphasis on craftsmanship, time investment, and rare ingredients appeals to refined taste. Offering complimentary consultation adds value without discounting. Sustainability messaging resonates with conscious luxury consumers.

Email 3: Exclusive Invitation

Send timing: Day 9 (4 days after Email 2)
Subject line: “A private invitation for you”
Preview text: “An experience reserved for select clients”

Body copy:

Dear [First Name],

We would like to extend a personal invitation.

**Private Virtual Consultation**

As a valued client, you're invited to a complimentary one-on-one session with one of our Senior Skincare Advisors. This 30-minute consultation is designed exclusively for returning clients who wish to refine their regimen.

During your session:

— A comprehensive skin analysis using our proprietary assessment methodology
— Personalised product recommendations based on your current concerns and goals
— Expert guidance on application techniques and layering protocols
— First access to formulations not yet available to the public

**Why This Matters**

Your skin has evolved since we last served you. Seasonal changes, lifestyle shifts, and time itself all influence what your regimen requires. Our advisors can identify precisely what your skin needs now—not what it needed months ago.

**Limited Availability**

Our Senior Advisors can accommodate eight consultations per week. We're holding one appointment for you through the end of this month.

To reserve your session, simply reply to this email or select your preferred time below.

This is not a sales presentation. It is a service we provide because excellence requires personalisation.

With appreciation,
[Name]
Director of Client Experience, [Brand Name]

CTA: “Reserve Your Consultation” (button)

Psychological trigger: VIP treatment through personalised service offering. Limited availability creates genuine exclusivity without time-pressure tactics. Emphasis on expertise and customisation appeals to sophisticated consumers. Explicit statement that it’s not a sales presentation builds trust.

Email 4: Final Farewell

Send timing: Day 14 (5 days after Email 3)
Subject line: “A quiet farewell, unless you’d prefer otherwise”
Preview text: “We respect your time and preferences above all else”

Body copy:

[First Name],

This will be our final message for some time.

We've reached out over the past two weeks because we genuinely value your patronage and wanted to ensure you knew about developments that might interest you.

However, we also believe that true luxury includes respecting your time and attention. If our correspondence no longer serves you, we understand completely.

**Your Options:**

**Stay Connected**
No action required. You'll continue receiving our seasonal collection announcements and exclusive client offerings—typically two to three messages per quarter.

**Reduce Frequency**
Reply with "less" and we'll move you to our annual collection preview—just two communications per year.

**Step Away**
If you prefer to part ways, we've included an unsubscribe link below. No explanation needed, no hard feelings held.

Whatever you choose, it has been our privilege to serve you. Should you ever wish to return, your client preferences and regimen history remain on file. We'll be ready.

With gratitude for the time you've given us,

[Name]
[Brand Name]

P.S. — Should you wish to book a consultation before this offer expires, your reserved appointment remains available through week's end.

CTA Options:

• “Continue My Subscription” (primary button)
• “Reduce to Annual Updates” (secondary, text link)
• “Unsubscribe” (tertiary, small text link)

Psychological trigger: Respectful autonomy—giving explicit options demonstrates confidence and respect. Language of “privilege to serve” reinforces luxury positioning. Mentioning preserved client history implies ongoing relationship readiness. Final consultation mention is subtle, not pushy.
