Database reactivation: your next jobs are already in your contact list.
Every business sits on a list of past customers and old leads that went quiet. A reactivation campaign texts and emails them a reason to come back — and books the ones who respond straight onto your calendar. No ad spend, no new leads to buy.
New leads are expensive. Old customers already trust you.
Reactivating a past customer costs a fraction of acquiring a new lead — they know your work, they answer your texts, and they refer. Most businesses simply never follow up.
Your list is asleep, not dead
Past customers didn't leave — you stopped talking to them. A well-timed message is often all it takes to bring a job back.
Old leads were paid for once already
Every lead that didn't close still cost you money. Reactivation gives that spend a second chance to convert.
Manual follow-up never happens
Nobody has time to text 500 old contacts by hand. Automation sends, replies, and books while you run the business.
List in. Booked jobs out.
We segment your list
Past customers, unclosed quotes, and cold enquiries each get a different message — pulled from your CRM, spreadsheets, or phone.
A short SMS + email sequence goes out
A few conversational messages over several days, in your business's voice, with a clear offer and an easy way to reply. Sent compliantly, with opt-outs honored automatically.
Replies get booked automatically
Interested contacts are answered instantly and routed to your calendar — you just see appointments appear.

Common questions
What do I need to start a database reactivation campaign?
Just your contact list — from a CRM, an old spreadsheet, invoices, or your phone. A few hundred contacts is enough to run a worthwhile campaign; more is better.
Is texting my old customers legal?
Campaigns are sent in line with US messaging rules (A2P 10DLC registration, business identification, and automatic opt-out handling). Contacts who opted out or ask to stop are never messaged again.
How fast do reactivation campaigns produce results?
Replies typically start within hours of the first send because the audience already knows you. The campaign itself runs over a few days rather than months.
What kinds of businesses does this work for?
Any local business with a history of customers or quotes: home services (roofing, HVAC, plumbing), salons and med spas, dental and chiropractic, auto repair, real estate, and more.
What does it cost?
Database Reactivation Campaigns start at $199, plus your messaging credits. There's no ad spend — the audience is the list you already own.
