Turn a first visit into a habit

A great in-store experience is forgotten in a week without a follow-up. Capturing a contact at the point of sale and staying in touch is what turns a shopper into a regular.

  • Collect contacts at checkout, via forms or QR codes
  • Send a welcome offer that earns the second visit
  • Announce new stock, sales and events that fill quiet days
  • Reward loyal customers to keep them coming back

The channels people read in minutes

For local, immediacy wins. SMS and WhatsApp land instantly for a flash sale or a 'your order is ready' note, while email carries the bigger stories.

  • SMS and WhatsApp for offers, reminders and pickups
  • Email for newsletters, events and loyalty updates
  • Web push for online-to-store re-engagement
  • Telegram for a local community channel

Automations that fit a busy floor

  • Welcome offer when a new contact is collected
  • Birthday and anniversary rewards
  • Win-back for customers who haven't visited lately
  • Event and restock announcements to the right segment

Talk to the right customers

Segment by location, visit frequency and what they bought, so a promo reaches the people it's meant for — and personalize with names and past purchases so it feels one-to-one.

  • Segment by store, frequency and purchase history
  • Target a specific location or product buyers
  • Personalize with name and last purchase
  • Suppress recent visitors from a win-back

Frequently asked questions

How do I collect contacts in a physical store?

Use a signup form, a QR code at the counter, or connect your POS — each new contact flows in ready for a welcome offer.

Is SMS or WhatsApp better for offers?

Both land fast; many retailers use SMS for reach and WhatsApp for richer, two-way messages. You can run both from one automation.

Can I reward loyal customers automatically?

Yes. Birthday, anniversary and frequency-based rewards fire on their own once the flow is set up.

Is it free to start?

Yes — all channels and automations are on the free tier, so you can start collecting and sending at no cost.
