WhatsApp marketing for fashion and apparel stores

Liking a product is not always enough to complete a purchase. A customer may be unsure of their size. The color they want may have sold out, or they may be waiting for the new season. WhatsApp marketing for fashion and apparel stores helps you communicate in a way that suits each of these needs. With Pushouse, you can plan messages and on-site offers together around your store's shopping journey.

Make size, color and timing decisions easier

When customers shop for fashion, sending everyone the same campaign can leave their real question unanswered. A visitor searching for a size chart wants an explanation, while someone waiting for a favorite item wants stock information. First, figure out at what point shoppers in your store hesitate. Then choose your communication flow based on product data, customer consent and the events supported by the platform you use. This also keeps the purpose of a campaign message separate from the purpose of an order update.

Five use cases for fashion and apparel stores

  1. A cart left behind after picking a size and color

    When a customer adds an item to the cart and leaves, send a reminder that lets them get back to the item they chose. Help them pick up where they left off instead of turning the message into a general discount announcement. If they have a question about size or fabric, tell them how they can reach your store team, and do not make unverified suggestions about the product.

  2. When the size they were waiting for is back in stock

    Do not lose the interest of a customer who asked to be notified about a sold-out size or color. Where your store connection is supported, use an alert that works with the stock data for the variant they asked about. Point the customer to the item they were waiting for instead of sending them back to the whole collection, and keep stock levels and product page details up to date.

  3. Announce the new season to the relevant customer group

    Plan announcements for a new collection, the end of the season or a specific product group around your customers' interests. Choose a suitable group using the opt-in list you have and the segment options available to you. State the campaign's dates, scope and product link clearly, and avoid messaging the same person about every new product.

  4. Make your first-purchase offer visible

    Use a spin-to-win wheel or a discount tab to put the campaign on your site in front of visitors. Specify which collection the offer applies to and what its terms of use are. Keep in mind that the code shown in the discount tab is the same for everyone; do not describe it as a personal coupon.

  5. Keep customers updated from order to shipment

    Notify the customer at supported steps, such as when the order is received and when it is shipped. Reduce unnecessary repetition by choosing at which stages a message goes out. Match what you say about delivery to the way your store actually operates. You do not have to add a new campaign to every order message.
