The right size at the right moment
Fitted in your shop, bought online? SmartChat turns that around: customers hear the moment their size comes in, and the start of the season shows up on their lock screen.
Sound familiar?
They try on in your shop, then buy online
A customer gets you to talk them through width, footbed and fit - then orders the very same pair online from their sofa that evening. With no direct line you can't remind them or follow up, and all that advice was a free gift to the competition.
The size they want is not on the shelf
You've got the 8, the 9 comes in next week - but by then they've found a pair somewhere else. The note with their number goes missing, and a sure sale falls through over a delivery date.
Children's feet grow faster than shop visits
Parents come in once the shoes start to pinch, and that's often half a year too late. A reminder to get feet measured every few months is the best service a children's shoe shop can offer.
How you use SmartChat
The pair they wanted is back in - customer told the same day
Note the size, add the customer to the list, and the message goes out the moment the pair comes in. The sale you nearly lost becomes a sure thing, and the customer feels remembered rather than fobbed off.
Children's foot check as a reminder service
Every few months a friendly message reminds parents to have their child measured again. Parents love the service, children get shoes that actually fit, and you get footfall you can plan around.
Make the most of the season start and the last sizes
First sandals in April, a boot preview in September, a last-sizes sale at the end of the season: your list hears it first, and your stockroom stays clear for the new range.

FAQs
Is this worth it for a single independent shoe shop?
Yes - especially then. Your strength is the personal relationship: you know sizes, preferences and whole families. SmartChat turns that into a channel no online shop can copy - a message from the shop people already trust.
How do I collect my customers' numbers?
Through the landing page SmartChat builds from your website: as a QR code at the till, at the foot-measuring station or printed on the receipt. Customers sign themselves up and confirm with a double opt-in, all GDPR-compliant.
What about families who only come in twice a year?
They're exactly who this is built for. The measuring reminder brings parents back at the right moment, not once the shoes are already pinching. Two visits a year quietly turn into more, and the children get shoes that fit.
Who writes the messages?
The AI builds your landing page, newsletters and follow-ups from your website and drafts every message for you. You give it a quick check, approve it, and carry on standing where you're needed: on the shop floor.
What does SmartChat cost, and what about sending?
SmartChat starts at 188 euros per month on the annual plan with unlimited contacts on every plan. Meta bills the WhatsApp messages directly, and SmartChat adds nothing on top of them.
