👋 Hello Ulrike, 🍂 before the first frost comes, your garden still needs a little attention. Here are our tips for autumn. 🌱 Mow the lawn one last time to 5 cm, and it will get through the cold months well. 🌳 Leaves under hedges can stay where they are. They protect roots and soil from the cold. 🚰 Turn off the outdoor tap and drain the pipe so nothing freezes. 🪴 Potted plants like oleander and olive are best kept in a bright, cool place. 🧹 No time for that? We'll take care of your autumn clean-up and take everything away.

Announcement the day before

SmartChat analyzes your calendar and notifies your team the day before the care appointment. Your customer then knows they don't need to lock the gate.

This is how garden owners get onto your list.

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

  1. 1

    Your customer scans the code on the quote

    The QR code is on your quote, the invoice and the site sign at the garden fence. That way, the neighbors see it too. SmartChat creates it for your landing page.

Frequently asked questions about WhatsApp marketing for landscaping businesses.

Can my landscaping business simply message customers on WhatsApp?

Only if the customer has agreed. They sign up themselves, via the QR code on your quote, your website or a link, and then confirm once in WhatsApp. SmartChat saves this consent as proof.

How do garden owners get onto my business's WhatsApp list?

Through your landing page. SmartChat creates the QR code for it, and you print it on quotes, invoices or site signs. On your website, a small window asks visitors whether they want to sign up. A Click-to-WhatsApp button only opens the chat with you.

Is WhatsApp worth it if my business is full in summer anyway?

You decide yourself when you send something. If your calendar is full in summer, you simply send nothing. In autumn and winter, you remind customers of planting season, invite them to garden planning and hand out the appointments for spring care.

Can I send photos of finished gardens by WhatsApp?

Yes. A newsletter in SmartChat can have an image or video. SmartChat takes photos from your website, or you upload your own image, for example your newest patio.

Can my office reply while the team is out working in the garden?

Yes. All WhatsApp conversations land in a shared inbox, and your office replies from there. Free has 1 team seat, Starter 3, Basic 6 and Pro 12.

Does SmartChat AI tell my customers prices for garden work?

SmartChat AI only answers with what is on your website and in your uploaded documents. If there is no price there, it doesn't give one. Questions about a quote for a specific property are answered by your team themselves, ideally after a visit on site.
