Archive or unarchive contacts

This is real work, not a feature someone invented — it comes from real job ads and real questions people asked. Below are four ready AI prompts: get it done, make it easy for the next person to say yes to, work out the right move when you are stuck, and stop it coming back.

Before our next billing cycle, review the 'Unengaged Subscribers' segment. Archive anyone who hasn't opened an email in the last six months, so we're not paying for inactive contacts and our engagement metrics are more accurate.

Our list size is growing fast, but engagement is dropping, and I'm not sure if I should start archiving contacts.
Our subscriber list is growing fast, but our overall engagement rates are declining, and I’m worried about the cost of inactive subscribers. I don't want to accidentally remove potential future customers. What's the best way to identify truly unengaged contacts who are costing us money without alienating anyone, and should I archive them or try a re-engagement campaign first?

I keep accumulating inactive subscribers, which inflates our costs and skews our engagement data.
I constantly find myself with a growing number of inactive subscribers, which drives up our monthly costs and makes our engagement metrics look worse than they are. I waste time trying to re-engage them when they're truly gone. What habit should I change to regularly and effectively manage our inactive contacts, so our list stays healthy and cost-efficient?

Questions people actually ask

honest answers, no sign-up

Every task here was seen in the real world. Someone doing the job named it, a real job ad asked for it, or a lot of people asked about it online.

If nothing real showed a task, it is not on the page. That is the whole rule.

They are the same job approached four ways, because what you need depends on where you are.

Get it done today. Make it easy for the next person to say yes to. Work out the right move when you are stuck. Learn the pattern so the job stops coming back.

For most of these jobs it can carry the heavy thinking - draft it, sort it, check it, rehearse it with you.

It cannot sit in your chair, take the blame when a number is wrong, or notice what nobody wrote down. Let it do the first 80%. Keep the last 20% that is truly yours.

No. Copy any prompt and paste it into the AI you already use. No account, no score, no wall in the way.

Any of them. The prompts describe the work rather than naming a product, so they are not tied to one assistant.

That is also why they keep working when you switch.

Change it freely. Every prompt is a starting line, not a rule.

Put in your real numbers, your real names and your real deadline. The more you make it yours, the better the answer comes back.

The tasks come from real job ads, published job data and the questions people ask in public forums.

The steps come from Mailchimp's own documentation, with practitioner sources for the traps the manual does not mention.

Push once. Ask it to sharpen the weakest part and to say what it assumed.

Most wrong answers come from a missing detail rather than a bad prompt - tell it the thing it could not know.
