Definition
Resend campaigns recover engagement from subscribers who missed the initial send. Best practice is to resend to non-openers within 48-72 hours with a different subject line. Average resend campaigns recover 15-25% additional opens and 10-20% additional clicks. However, repeated resends can damage deliverability and increase unsubscribes. Limit resends to one follow-up per campaign and exclude subscribers who have received multiple recent resends. Track both the incremental engagement gained and the additional unsubscribe cost.
