The sun comes out and everyone thinks of you
Your takings live and die with the weather. SmartChat puts your flavour of the day, your opening weekend and your offers onto your customers' phones by WhatsApp, faster than a scoop melts.
Sound familiar?
The weather runs your takings
Three days of rain and the counter stays full. One hot weekend and the queue reaches the corner. You cannot control the weather, but you can reach your regulars the moment the sun comes out.
Nobody notices when the season starts
After the winter you start from scratch. Who actually knows the day you open again? Weeks go by before word gets around that your ice cream is finally back on the counter.
Only passers-by ever see the new flavours
Your pistachio is made by hand and every new flavour is a small event, but only the people who happen to walk past the counter hear about it. Everyone else reaches for a tub at the supermarket.
How you use SmartChat
Announce the start of the season
One message to your list and every regular knows the same day that the counter is full again - no waiting weeks for word to get around.
Make the most of sunny days
The forecast is your sales calendar. When the sun comes out, your message is already sitting on the lock screen, and the walk home from work goes past your counter.
Take ice cream cake orders in advance
Birthdays happen all year round, and your ice cream cakes sell all year too. Orders come in through the chat with plenty of notice, and collection is sorted in two short messages.
Bring the off-season to life
Hot waffles, chestnut ice cream, the last day before you close for winter. Autumn gives people plenty of reasons to make a detour - they just have to hear about them.

FAQs
Is this worth it for a seasonal business?
Especially for one. Your list survives the winter and contacts are unlimited on every plan, so when you open again you reach every regular with a single message instead of waiting for passing trade.
How often can I write without becoming a nuisance?
Weekly is fine if you have a reason: a new flavour, a sunny weekend, an offer. What matters is that every message gives your customers something, and then it reads like a tip rather than an advert.
How do contacts get onto my list?
Through the landing page SmartChat builds from your website: a QR code at the counter, on your pavement sign or online. Sign-up runs by double opt-in, it is GDPR-compliant, and anyone can opt out again at any time.
What do I pay in total?
SmartChat starts at 188 euros per month on the annual plan with unlimited contacts. For sending, Meta charges the WhatsApp fees directly through your own account, and SmartChat adds nothing on top.
