Fully booked slots instead of an empty set
Your clients book where they are already looking every day. SmartChat puts mini sessions, gallery links and appointment reminders straight onto their phone on WhatsApp.
Sound familiar?
Mini session slots go unsold
You announce your autumn mini sessions on Instagram and the algorithm shows the post to a fraction of your followers. Slots that could sell out within an hour take days to fill, or never fill at all.
Galleries sit there unopened
The images are edited, the gallery is live, and the family does not look at it for weeks. Orders for prints and wall art never come, and money you have already earned just sits there waiting.
A no-show costs you half a day
Set built, lights ready, and nobody turns up. A forgotten session cannot be filled again at short notice, so the hour is gone and the rest of the afternoon with it.
How you use SmartChat
Fill your mini sessions in one go
One message to your contacts and the slots book themselves: no story that disappears, no post that nobody sees. Whoever replies first gets the time they wanted.
Gallery links that actually get opened
As soon as the images are online your client gets the message on their phone and looks through the gallery the same evening. Favourites get marked and orders come in faster.
Appointment reminders that stop no-shows
A friendly reminder the day before with all the details: the time, how to find you, what to bring. Your set no longer sits empty and your clients arrive prepared.
Book out Christmas shoots early
One message in October to every family from last year, and your December is planned before the competition has even posted their dates.

FAQs
Do my clients need an app?
No. Your clients simply message you on WhatsApp the way they always do. SmartChat is the tool behind it: it collects contacts, drafts your messages and sends them for you.
I work on my own - is this not too much tech for me?
Quite the opposite. The AI builds your landing page, newsletter and follow-ups from your website, and you read them over and approve. Announcing your mini sessions then takes less time than importing a memory card.
Where do I get my clients' numbers from?
From your own landing page: as a QR code in the studio, as a link when you send out a gallery, or on your website. Your clients sign up themselves - SmartChat does not work with bought lists.
Is this GDPR-compliant?
Yes. Every contact confirms their sign-up with a double opt-in inside WhatsApp, every consent is documented, and unsubscribing takes a single word at any time.
What does it cost to send messages?
Meta bills the WhatsApp messages directly through your Meta account, and SmartChat adds nothing on top. Plans start at 188 euros per month on the annual plan, and contacts are unlimited on all of them.
Does this work for wedding photography too?
Very well indeed. From following up on your quote to the reminder about the engagement shoot and the gallery link after the wedding, you stay in one channel with the couple - personal and dependable.
