What are renewal emails?

Renewal emails are automated messages sent out to existing customers to remind them that their membership or subscription is expiring, and urge them to take action. These kinds of emails are commonly used for subscription-based services as well as products with recurring payments. 

Renewal emails work best when they are sent as a part of broader campaigns. Typically, a series of renewal reminder emails can include one or more emails before the subscription runs out, an expiration day email, and a follow-up email after the membership is over to encourage users to renew one more time.

If the client decides not to renew their account, you can send them a cancellation email to let them know the account has expired.
