Why conversation-based service works
Sports practitioners want the right product for their sport and level. The runner asks about cushioning, the player wants the right cleats for the field, the mother wants the youth club uniform. WhatsApp allows serving each with attention.
And sports generate repeat purchases: running shoes wear out, uniforms change every season, equipment is renewed.
Ask the sport and level
Beginner or athlete, frequency and goal. The right recommendation avoids exchanges and builds trust.

Size and numbering
Running shoes and sportswear vary a lot. Size charts and product videos help get it right.
Teams and youth clubs
Uniforms, balls, and equipment for teams are large orders. Contact with the coach or coordinator brings volume.
Races and events
Notify about city races and offer kits for runners before them.
Tags by sport type
Separate runners, cyclists, soccer, and gym. Launches reach only those interested.
Exchange reminder
Running shoes have a useful life. A reminder after a few months brings the next purchase.
Catalog in conversation
Products with photo, size, and price make choosing easier.
On the official API
Launch notices outside the 24-hour window require an approved template, only for those who authorized.
After-sales
Ask how the shoe felt on the first run. Quickly solving a problem builds loyalty.
Common mistakes
Sending soccer promotions to runners, not helping with size, and forgetting local teams.
Ready message
"Hi, Camila! For someone running 10 km three times a week, these two shoes have the ideal cushioning. Do you use 37 in other brands? This model fits the same." Size question resolved before purchase.
