We've missed you!
For so many years we've worked together but it's been a very long time since we've seen an order from you. If it was something we did or if a competitor has offered you a better deal, we'd like to make it up to you.
To bring you back, we'll offer you a one-time, extra 15% savings off the best price we offer. We don't care if you load up. We want you back!
We look forward to hearing from you.
Letter #3
Where have you been? We've missed you!
Your membership ended several months ago and we want to invite you back.
You may have heard that John Doe was elected president and Jane Doe now runs the front desk. Both say "hi." Lots of changes, but the most visible is your not being here.
Why not take a minute to fill out the enclosed renewal card and send it in? We will bill you later.
Looking forward to seeing you again!
P.S. Our annual awards banquet is April 9. We hope you can make it.

Usually when I don't hear back from people, I assume they're not interested and I move on.
However, in your case, I am making an extra effort to contact you because I think you really need my driver service. Jane Doe has told me she is quite certain that your company could benefit from our drivers, and she has encouraged me to keep trying to let you know how our driver service is different from our competitors'.
Basically, our driver service stands out because you receive the following benefits:

I'd like to schedule a time for one of our drivers to pick you up and take you on a demonstration ride. I'll call you next week to discuss the possibility.

I appreciated our meeting about my becoming your (products) representative. Of course, I'm sorry you didn't select me, but I understand that many factors were involved. Although I may not be of service to you today, I hope you will consider me in the future. Until then, thanks for your kind consideration and the time you gave me.
Letter #8
I couldn't believe my eyes!
I checked again and again, but it's true. I haven't seen an order for labels from you in almost six months.
Whenever I discover that a good customer like you has stopped ordering from us, I get concerned. It's like losing a good friend. Was it something we did? If so, we'd like to make it right.
Our new spring catalog of labels has just come off the press. It contains some of the most beautiful labels we've ever produced. I know you'll love thumbing through it.
I want to offer you 20% off on your next order. It's my way of saying that I value your business and want you back.
Please review the enclosed catalog. When you order, the 20% discount is yours.
Won't you contact me soon?

Maybe it has been a while since your last visit or maybe you were here just yesterday. Either way, we would love to see you again.
Our office is at (address), in the beautiful Doe Planned Community. Our office hours are Monday - Saturday 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM.

We have, as always, inventory homes available for quick move-in. Or you can select one of our beautiful home sites and have any of our nine floor plans with 27 different outside looks built especially for you. On selected inventory homes we can offer you, for a limited time, very lucrative incentives. If you would like details, please give me a call at 555-5555.
