Your plan name renews on renewal date
Hi customer name,
A quick heads-up that your plan name renews on renewal date. Before that, I wanted to recap what you have gotten out of it.
Here is the value so far:
- A reminder of what the plan includes.
- Results or usage worth noting this term.
- What is coming next that you will benefit from.
Your renewal is amount, and everything continues automatically. If you want to change anything, the next step is next step. No action needed if you are happy to continue.
Best,
your name, company name
2. 7-day reminder
When to useUse this about 7 days out, to confirm the date and amount and make changes easy.
Subject
Renewing in 7 days: plan name
Hi customer name,
Just a short reminder that your plan name renews in about a week, on renewal date.
The essentials:
- Plan: plan name
- Renews: renewal date
- Amount: amount
If everything looks right, you are all set and do not need to do a thing. If you want to upgrade, downgrade, or update billing, the next step is next step and it takes a minute.
Best,
your name
3. 1-day final reminder
When to useUse this one day out, to give a final clear notice with an easy link to manage billing.
Subject
Quick note: plan name renews tomorrow
Hi customer name,
One last friendly note: your plan name renews tomorrow, renewal date, for amount. There is nothing you need to do to continue.
If you want to make a change before then:
- Update your plan or payment.
- Or just reply with a question and we will hold off.
The next step, if you need it, is next step. Otherwise, thanks for staying with us. We are glad to keep working with you.
Best,
your name, company name
4. Auto-renewal notice
When to useUse this before an automatic renewal, to disclose the charge and make canceling easy.
Subject
Your plan name will auto-renew on renewal date
Hi customer name,
This is a courtesy notice that your plan name is set to renew automatically on renewal date, and your payment method will be charged amount.
So everything is clear:
- What renews: plan name
- When: renewal date
- How much: amount
- How to cancel or change it: the next step is next step, anytime before the date.
We would rather over-communicate than surprise you. If you have any questions about the charge, just reply.
Best,
company name
5. Renewal plus upsell
When to useUse this at renewal when a higher tier or add-on truly fits the customer's usage.
Subject
Renewing plan name? One upgrade worth a look
Hi customer name,
Your plan name renews on renewal date, and it will continue smoothly. Before it does, I noticed something worth flagging.
Based on how you actually use it:
- Where you are bumping against the plan's limits.
- What the next tier or add-on would unlock for you.
- Whether it would genuinely pay for itself, honestly assessed.
If it is not a fit, ignore this and your renewal proceeds as normal. If it is, the next step is next step and I will set it up.
Best,
your name, company name
6. Expired grace-period win-back
When to useUse this just after a renewal lapses, to make coming back easy and low-pressure.
Subject
Your plan name lapsed, but nothing is lost yet
Hi customer name,
Your plan name did not renew, and I wanted to check in before anything changes on your account. Life gets busy, so no worries at all.
The good news:
- Your data and settings are still here.
- Reactivating takes one click, with nothing to rebuild.
- We can hold your account as-is until timeframe.
If now is not the right time, just let me know and I will not keep nudging. If you would like to pick back up, the next step is next step.
Best,
your name, company name

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can I use these templates commercially?
Yes. Copy, edit, and use them in your business, client work, CRM, help desk, or CRMsoftware.pro workspace.
When should I send a renewal reminder?
A common cadence is 30, 7, and 1 days before renewal. Sending a reminder around three weeks out can lift renewal rates by about 20 percent (Userpilot). For high-touch accounts, start even earlier.
What should a renewal reminder include?
Tell the customer the plan, the price, and the renewal date, and give an easy link to change or cancel. The earliest reminder should recap value, not just the charge.
What should I avoid in renewal emails?
Skip fear lines like Do not lose access or Last chance. Keep it short, upbeat, and action-oriented (Hiver).
Do I need to disclose auto-renewals?
Yes. The EU, California, and other jurisdictions require clear advance notice of automatic renewals and an easy way to cancel. Transparency also prevents disputes.
How do I win back a lapsed customer?
Reach out within the grace window, reassure them their data is intact, and make reactivating a single click. An easy return beats a hard restart.
