It takes 20 seconds. Prefer to talk directly on WhatsApp?
Special orders
Products that are not in the store can be ordered. Confirm the lead time and let the customer know when it arrives.
Back-in-stock alerts
Whoever asked about a sold-out model wants to know when it is back. Write it down and tell those people first.
Season
Respect the spawning closed season in your region and use the months before and after it to remind customers to service their gear.
In-store pickup or delivery
Offer to set the order aside for pickup before the weekend fishing trip.
Common Mistakes
Sending only the price without guidance, forgetting to announce that the product arrived and flooding customers with offer messages.
Frequently asked questions

It can work with clear rules and few messages: product arrivals, seasonal tips and event invitations. Use a broadcast list for people who only want offers.
