When the sun shows up, so do your guests
The situation
Thursday evening, and the forecast promises 29 degrees for the weekend. You know exactly what that means: your patio could be packed - if everyone finds out in time. But a social media post gets buried, posters take too long, and on the last sunny Saturday, half your seats stayed empty simply because nobody thought of stopping by.
How SmartChat solves it
With SmartChat, you act the moment the forecast is in: write your message, add a photo of the patio, and send it to all your contacts with one click. With a 98% open rate, your promotion lands on your guests' lock screens that same evening - and on Saturday, your patio is full instead of half empty.

FAQs
How fast can I react to a change in the weather?
Instantly - you write your message and send it to all contacts with one click. There's no print deadline and no press run; your promotion is out the door in minutes.
Is this worth it in bad weather too?
Especially then - a rainy day is the perfect excuse for an indoor special, a hot chocolate, or a voucher for the next sunny day. The weather is always a hook.
What does sending a weather promotion cost?
Meta bills the WhatsApp fees directly to you, and SmartChat adds nothing on top. Plans start at 299 euros a month, with unlimited contacts included.
Won't my guests get tired of this at some point?
Not as long as you send real value - a sunny-day special with a real perk is a welcome reminder. And anyone who no longer wants messages can unsubscribe anytime.
