WhatsApp marketing for flower shops.

With SmartChat you send your customers on WhatsApp what you want to tell them: the bouquet of the week, the first peonies of the season or the reminder to pre-order for Mother's Day.

Reminder for the consultation

If a consultation for table decorations or a bridal bouquet is in your calendar, SmartChat reminds your customer the day before.

This is how you collect contacts with every bouquet.

Your customers sign up themselves: via the QR code on the card on the bouquet, on your website or via a link. They only get your newsletter once they have confirmed in WhatsApp.

  1. 1

    Your customer scans the QR code

    The code hangs on the card attached to every bouquet, and it's on a small stand in the shop. SmartChat creates it to match your landing page.

  2. 2

    Your customer enters first name and phone number

    A window opens with exactly these two fields.

Frequently asked questions about WhatsApp marketing for flower shops.

Can my flower shop just message customers on WhatsApp?

No, only after they have agreed. Your customer signs up themselves, via the QR code, your website or a link, and then confirms in WhatsApp. SmartChat records this consent with date and time for you.

Where do I put the QR code in my flower shop?

Where your customers already look: in the shop window, at the arranging table or on the little card on the bouquet. SmartChat creates the code for your landing page, and you print it as often as you like. On your website, an additional small popupasks whether visitors want to sign up.

Can I send the bouquet of the week with a photo?

Yes. Your newsletter can have an image or video at the top. You upload a photo of your bouquet or take one from your website. Below it come the text and a button to your website.

Does SmartChat take orders for bouquets and wreaths?

No, SmartChat is not an ordering system or a cash register. If a customer writes to you on WhatsApp about which bouquet they want, the message lands in SmartChat's inbox. There you or your team confirm the order directly in the chat.

Can I schedule the reminder for Mother's Day or Valentine's Day in advance?

Yes. You write the newsletterwhen things are quiet in the shop, and you set the day and time for sending. SmartChat then sends it at the planned time to all subscribers.

How does SmartChat AI know my prices and delivery areas?

SmartChat AI analyzes your website and the documentsthat you upload, for example a price list as a PDF. If prices or delivery times change, you upload the new list, and SmartChat AI answers with it from then on.

What does SmartChat AI do with special requests like a bridal bouquet?

If SmartChat AI doesn't know the answer, the question stays in the inbox for you. You or your team then answer yourselves. As soon as a human has written in the conversation, SmartChat AI holds back on that message.

Does SmartChat AI also answer customers who don't write in German?

Yes, in the language your customer writes in. If someone orders a bouquet for a friend in Italian, they get the answer in Italian.

Can my florists in the shop answer too?

Yes. All WhatsApp chats come together in a shared inbox, and everyone on the team sees what has already been answered. Free has 1 team seat, Starter 3, Basic 6 and Pro 12.

Do I need a new phone number for my flower shop?

No, you use your shop's number. You connect it once with SmartChat and confirm it with a code from Meta, the company behind WhatsApp. One account has exactly one number.

What does SmartChat cost for a flower shop?

Free costs €0, with no time limit and no credit card, with 100 messages one-time. Starter costs €299 per month with 3,000 messages, Basic €499 with 6,000 and Pro €999 with unlimited. You pay no credits for sending. All prices plus VAT, more under Pricing.

What does Meta charge for my flower shop's WhatsApp messages?

Meta bills you directly for the fees for WhatsApp messages. For this, you add a payment method in your Meta account. You pay SmartChat only for your plan. You can find the exact prices here.

How many automations are included for my flower shop?

Free and Starter include only the fixed automation for new contacts (confirmation and thank-you). Custom automations are available from Basic: Basic has 3, 1 of them fixed, Pro unlimited. A custom automation sends automatically, for example the reminder the day before a consultation.

How quickly is my flower shop ready with SmartChat?

You give SmartChat AI your website address. In 60 seconds, your landing page, QR code and your WhatsApp marketing system are ready. Then you connect your number and send the first bouquet of the week.

How does a customer unsubscribe from my flower shop's WhatsApp newsletter?

Anyone who has confirmed your newsletter writes STOP in the WhatsApp chat with your flower shop. From then on, SmartChat sends them nothing and marks them as unsubscribed in your contact list.
