It takes 20 seconds. Prefer to talk directly on WhatsApp?
Customer's aquarium photo
Ask for a photo before recommending. You avoid selling incompatible fish and show care.
Water test
Invite the customer to bring water for testing. They return to the store and you recommend what is missing.
Beginner kits
Send a ready kit with a fixed price to those who say they are starting out.
Recurring maintenance
For businesses and clinics, schedule maintenance via WhatsApp and confirm the day before.
Restock reminder
Food, conditioner, and filters run out. A reminder at the right time brings repurchase.
Organization
Tags by profile: beginner, advanced, marine, planted, and maintenance.
Where to start
Create the arrivals list and send the first message with this week’s news.
Common mistakes
Responding without seeing the aquarium, sending promotions to everyone, and forgetting the restock reminder.
Ready-made arrivals message
"Arrived today: [species]. Here are photos and videos. To reserve, reply with the fish name and quantity. We hold reservations until 18h."
What to measure
Responses by arrivals sent and how many converted to purchase the same week.
Frequently asked questions
How to notify customers about new fish?
A broadcast list with photos and videos of arrivals, sent right after the fish are ready for sale, generates demand the same day. Make clear how to reserve.
