When to send this winback template
Timing is what separates a winback that reactivates a policy from one that gets muted. Send this template to insurance customers who have genuinely gone dormant — a motor or health policy that lapsed after the grace period, a renewal quote that was viewed but never paid, or a lead who requested a quote weeks ago and went silent. The sweet spot is 15 to 45 days after the point they dropped off: recent enough that they still remember your brand, far enough that a nudge feels helpful rather than pushy. Avoid firing it at active policyholders mid-term — that is a renewal or cross-sell conversation, not a winback. Segment your dormant list first so the incentive matches the product they lapsed on, and always confirm they have opted in to marketing messages before you send.
- Policies that lapsed past the grace period (motor, health, two-wheeler)
- Renewal quotes viewed but never paid
- Quote requests that went cold after 3+ weeks of silence
- Customers who bought once and never renewed the following year
Personalise it so it reads like a 1:1 message
A winback works because it feels personal, not like a bulk blast. The four variables in this template are the levers. {{1}} is the customer's first name — a named greeting alone lifts open intent noticeably. {{2}} is the specific incentive tied to the exact product they lapsed on, such as a renewal discount on their car policy or a no-inspection reinstatement on health cover — vague offers read as spam, specific ones read as a genuine offer built for them. {{3}} is your brand name for trust and recall. {{4}} is the validity window that creates gentle urgency without pressure. Pull these values straight from your CRM or policy records so the message reflects what the customer actually held, and pair the body with one clear button so the next step — reactivating or reaching an advisor — is a single tap.
- {{1}} name — a named greeting reads as personal, not promotional
- {{2}} incentive — tie it to the exact policy they lapsed on
- {{3}} brand — reinforces trust and recall
- {{4}} days — a validity window adds urgency without pressure
Approval notes specific to this template
Submit this template as Marketing. It carries a promotional incentive to bring a lapsed customer back, so it is unambiguously marketing — trying to slip it through as utility to save on cost is the single most common reason winback templates get rejected, and repeated mis-categorisation can hurt your account standing. Include a working opt-out line in the body (Reply STOP is in the sample above) because Meta requires marketing templates to offer an easy way out. Provide a realistic sample value for every one of the four variables when you submit; placeholder or empty samples are a frequent rejection trigger. Keep the incentive language truthful and within IRDAI and ASCI norms — no guaranteed-return claims, no exaggerated savings, no urgency you cannot honour. Finally, keep the body free of forbidden characters and excessive emojis, and let InfiQ's template manager flag issues before you submit rather than after Meta rejects it.
- Category: Marketing — never submit as utility to cut cost
- Include a working opt-out line (the sample has Reply STOP)
- Give a real sample value for {{1}}–{{4}} at submission
- Keep incentive claims truthful and within IRDAI + ASCI rules
What it costs to send
This template bills at the marketing rate. Since Meta moved off per-conversation billing on 1 July 2025, WhatsApp charges per delivered message by category — so each delivered winback message is priced at Meta's live India marketing rate, applied through InfiQ's transparent ₹ pricing on that rate card, ex-GST. The 24-hour window that opens when a customer replies is a free service window for follow-up conversation, not a billing unit, so once a lapsed customer taps a button and starts chatting, your advisor's replies inside that window carry no additional per-message charge. Because winback lists are finite and the payback is a reactivated policy — often worth many times the send cost — the marketing rate is easy to justify. Run your dormant volume through the pricing page to see the exact ₹ spend and expected return before you launch a campaign.
