Why this works

**Why this works.** The subject line "Did we lose you?" signals abandonment without blame, forcing the inactive user to mentally respond to a question rather than ignore a generic re-engagement pitch - this triggers curiosity and mild social obligation to reply. The pattern here is "ask a question that presumes relationship"; you can lift it for any inactivity nudge where the user has already experienced value and just needs a gentle reminder to return.
