THE PROBLEM
You're Running a Store, Not an Inbox
Every Instagram post about a new product or sale generates dozens of DM questions — stock availability, pricing, store hours, directions. Your staff can't answer them all while serving customers on the floor.
Lost Sales to "I'll Check Elsewhere"
Customers DM asking if you have something in stock. If you don't reply quickly, they've already driven to a competitor's store.
Same Questions 40 Times a Day
"Do you have this in my size?", "What are your hours?", "Where are you located?" Your team types the same answers while managing the floor.
No Systematic Lead Capture
People ask about out-of-stock items but you have no way to capture their contact and notify them when it arrives.
Staff Time Wasted on DMs
Your sales associates spend precious floor time answering Instagram DMs instead of helping paying customers in person.

Product Availability & Stock Inquiries
HIGH VALUE
THE PROBLEM
Post a new product → dozens of DMs asking "Do you have this in my size?", "Is this in stock?", "Can you hold it for me?" Your staff is on the floor, can't respond to everyone.

- Size and color options displayed
- Direct store directions sent
Comment "PRODUCT" → Stock + Size Check → Visit Store → Sale Made ✓
02
Store Hours, Location & Directions
LEAD GEN
THE PROBLEM
Post about your store location or a new branch → customers DM asking for directions, hours, and parking info. You're managing staff and inventory, can't reply to everyone.

THE SOLUTION
Comment "STORE" → Full store details, hours, directions, and parking info sent instantly. Maps link and appointment booking delivered automatically.

Sales, Promotions & Back-in-Stock Alerts

- No waitlist for out-of-stock sale items
THE SOLUTION
Comment "SALE" → Active promotions, discount codes, and expiration dates sent instantly. Comment "STOCK" → Waitlist sign-up for sold-out items with automatic alerts.
