Can someone suggest a user engagement notice strategy?

[Hoolio]

I feel I should have some notices that say

Hi (user name) you haven't posted yet, why not make your first post.
Hi (user name) you haven't posted for 3 weeks - try another post?
Hi (user name) ..... (other engagement encouraging messages)

Can anyone suggest - a program of notices that wont be too annoying to members?

Is there an Add On to assist with this?

Many thanks

@Chris Deeming's Notification addon is ideal for this.

As a user I would be annoyed with such messages.

I suppose if you give them the option to dismiss and the initial notification isn't too intrusive (that it blends in with your style) I don't think it would be too annoying. With the notifications it's very customizable to the point you could style it so it's part of the style or looks like it is which would be more subtle for users.

Thanks

Any more ideas?
