From the field straight to their phone
First strawberries, fresh eggs, the Christmas turkey: SmartChat delivers your harvest news over WhatsApp with a 98% open rate - to customers who are waiting to hear it.
Sound familiar?
The harvest does not check your opening hours
When the cherries are ripe, they are ripe, and your customers need to know that day. By the time anyone has read the notice on the farm gate, the fruit has been on the tree far too long.
Pre-orders mean juggling scraps of paper
Turkey orders, veg boxes, half a pig for the freezer - it all comes in by phone and ends up on notes by the till. It eats your time, and something still slips through the net every week.
Regulars forget the way out to the farm
Your farm shop is not on anyone's commute. Without a reminder people buy at the supermarket instead, even though they would far rather have your eggs and your meat.
How you use SmartChat
Announce the start of the harvest
Strawberries picked, asparagus cut, pumpkins in from the field - one message, and the next morning your customers are in the farmyard instead of the supermarket.
Organise veg boxes and collection
The box is packed and the collection time is set. Instead of ringing round, one message goes out and everyone knows what is in the box this week.
Flag the big dates in good time
Turkeys, the open farm day, Christmas trees: the big dates of the farming year land on people's phones, and the pre-orders come straight back as replies.

FAQs
Our farm only has a very simple website - is that enough?
Yes. The AI takes what is there - the farm name, what you sell, your photos, the way you write - and builds your landing page and your messages from it. The more your site says, the more personal the result.
How do customers get onto my list?
They sign themselves up: through the QR code on the shop door, at the market stall or on the receipt. Every signup is confirmed by double opt-in and documented in a GDPR-compliant way.
I am out in the field, not at a desk - how is this supposed to work?
That is exactly what SmartChat is built for. The AI writes your landing page, newsletter and follow-ups from your website, and you approve from your phone. Sending a harvest update is quicker than hitching up the trailer.
What does this cost for a farm shop?
It starts at 188 euros per month on the annual plan and contacts are unlimited on every plan. Meta bills the WhatsApp messages directly, so SmartChat adds nothing on top.
Can customers reply to the messages?
Yes, and that is the real benefit. A turkey order, a change to the veg box or a question about opening hours turns into a short chat - all in one place instead of scattered over notes by the till.
What about customers who do not use WhatsApp?
You reach them the way you always have: the notice on the gate, the phone, a chat at the market. For everyone else, WhatsApp is the fastest route from your field to their kitchen.
