The Problem

You're Creating Handmade Products, But DMs Are Killing Your Time

Every post about your Etsy products generates dozens of inquiries — "Is this available?", "Can you do a custom?", "What's your lead time?". You're trying to create while manually answering the same questions over and over.

🛒

Lost Orders

Shoppers DM asking about your products. If you don't reply within 24 hours, they've already bought from another Etsy shop. Every unanswered DM is a lost $50-$500 order.

📋

Repetitive Inquiry Work

"Is this available?", "Can you do custom?", "What's your return policy?" — you're answering the same questions 15-30 times a day. That energy should go into making products.

🔄

No Custom Order System

Interested buyers slip through the cracks. You forget to follow up, custom order inquiries go cold, and you have no system to manage bespoke requests professionally.

⏰

Time Drain

You spend 12-14 hours per month just answering inquiry DMs, sending Etsy links, and confirming custom orders. That's time not spent creating and growing your shop.

Beaded & Custom Jewelry

The Challenge

Posting daily about handmade jewelry pieces. Every post generated 50-80 inquiries about availability, custom orders, and wholesale pricing. Manually responding to each while creating new pieces meant missing most orders entirely. Competitors with faster response times were stealing customers.

The InstantDM Solution

Set up three automated triggers:

  • Comment "SHOP" → Instant DM with Etsy shop link and top-selling pieces
  • Comment "CUSTOM" → Instant DM with custom order form and pricing guide
  • Comment "WHOLESALE" → Instant DM with wholesale pricing, MOQs, and inquiry form

"Before InstantDM, I was losing orders because I couldn't respond fast enough while making jewelry. Now every inquiry gets an instant reply with all the info they need. My Etsy shop went from $1K to $8K/month, and I landed my first $2,000 wholesale order from an Instagram DM inquiry. This tool is a game-changer for handmade businesses." — Jewelry Designer, 65K followers

  • No structured intake process for bespoke requests
  • Can't handle inquiries while creating

3. Wholesale Inquiry Automation

Business Growth

The Problem

Boutiques and retailers DM asking "Do you sell wholesale?", "What are your minimums?", "Can I carry your products?". You're manually responding with wholesale info, negotiating terms, and managing bulk orders. This is time-consuming and often leads to lost opportunities.

  • Lost wholesale accounts from slow responses
  • Long back-and-forth to share wholesale pricing
  • No structured intake for retail inquiries
  • Can't handle B2B inquiries while creating
  • No way to track wholesale leads
