Reactivation vs. recovery—which? — Choose the right strategy to engage dormant subs without tanking rates. Pick your strategy →

What’s the difference between reactivation and recovery engagement?

Reactivation campaigns:

  • Target dormant, unengaged subscribers
  • Goal: wake them up or remove them
  • Risky: low engagement expected
  • Do during healthy periods, not recovery

Recovery engagement:

  • Target already-engaged subscribers
  • Goal: generate positive signals for providers
  • Lower risk: high engagement expected
  • Essential during reputation rebuilding

Why the difference matters:

  • Reactivation often produces complaints and low engagement
  • During recovery, cannot afford negative signals
  • Save reactivation for after recovery complete

Sequencing:

  • Recover reputation first
  • Then carefully reactivate if desired

Trying to re-engage disinterested customers during probation invites more violations.
