Or, send an email saying

“Hey. You unsubscribed. Here’s a link to resubscribe if you happen to want to!”

Right after someone unsubs.

You could also send them a reminder a few days later, just to be sure that they meant it. And then perhaps every week or so for good measure.
And you could probably take the time to add your weekly special deals to that reminder email, in case they might see something they like or need.
That seems to be a bad idea. The new rules state that you need to process the unsubscription within 2 days. Sending an email a few days later sounds like a good way to make it on the naughty list.
Don't be absurd - those rules are for evil spammers, not for your marketing department.
There’s a far cry difference giving someone a subscription link at unsub time and spamming resub links.

It’s already pretty standard practice to send an email notifying that the unsub request was processed.
