Dormant customer reactivation · Australia
Use the existing customer relationship as evidence, not as automatic permission.
Dormant customer reactivation is a planned attempt to reconnect with an eligible cohort of prior customers. Gibson reviews the relationship evidence, exclusions, consent and suppression position before defining the cohort, approved message, reply ownership and outcome record.
This page is for operators with a genuine prior-customer relationship who need to assess whether a controlled campaign is appropriate. A past transaction does not by itself guarantee eligibility, contactability or a result.

Gibson evidence-to-action method
A dormant list becomes a campaign only after five decisions.
Eligibility
Review consent, suppression, complaints, exclusions and uncertainty.
Cohort
Define who belongs in the controlled campaign and who does not.
Conversation
Approve the message, response handling, escalation and stop conditions.
Evidence
Record sends, delivery, replies and matched outcomes within the agreed boundary.
Inspectable proof
130 Gibson contacts, with the limitation beside the result.
Gibson tested the method on 130 of its own contacts who had genuinely dealt with the business and had not been spoken to in more than a year. Thirty-five returned as confirmed jobs, producing $9,415 in total value.
Questions before a campaign
Database reactivation questions, answered directly.
What is database reactivation?
Database reactivation is a planned attempt to reconnect with an eligible dormant cohort from an existing business database. It begins with source, relationship, consent and suppression evidence, then defines the cohort, approved message, send controls, reply owner and reporting boundary.
Is database reactivation the same as missed-call recovery?
No. Demand Reactivation is a planned campaign for an existing dormant database. Demand Recovery follows a current agreed missed-call event. They use different triggers, eligibility evidence, timing, message controls and proof trails.
What information does Gibson need first?
Start with aggregate information: database source, approximate cohort size, age, prior relationship, consent and suppression records, services, likely exclusions, reply owner and the system that should hold agreed outcomes. Do not upload personal records through the general brief.
What does Demand Reactivation cost and how long does it take?
Price and timing depend on data readiness, eligibility review, cohort size, message approval, platform, send volume, reply handling, integration and reporting. Any initial period, payment trigger, inclusions and continuation terms are confirmed in the written proposal.
What result can Gibson guarantee?
None. List quality, eligibility, prior relationship, offer, timing, deliverability, message, reply handling and market conditions affect the result. Reporting can describe observed campaign events and matched outcomes within the agreed evidence boundary.
Next decision
Start with aggregate readiness, not a promise to send.
Review the canonical service first. If the database may fit, send only high-level context through the brief. Albert or the senior team will confirm the next useful evidence step.
