Anyway, would anyone have advice on how to "revive" a list that you have not contacted for a while?

Any tips would be much appreciated!

Hi Reno,
The best thing you can do now is provide some of your best content for free.You are not alone in doing this mistake.I too,when I started building my first list more than a year ago,didn't contacted them for almost 4 months after a few initial mailings.

Yes,it was quite a mistake and I found that my "opening rate" has dropped by several percent.But once I started providing them free content,it improved significantly.

Be sure to not promote anything for first couple of weeks,once the trust factor is regained you can promote them whatever you want.
Best Regards,
Vivek
