Unlock your retail business potential with WeAlert

Unlock Your Retail Business Potential with WeAlert

Running a modern retail store is a juggling act: inventory, staff, footfall, social, reviews. Winners are not busier, they are smarter. WeAlert gives you simple tools that turn everyday interactions into repeatable revenue, especially through SMS marketing, the most direct path to your customers.

Why retailers stall and how to fix it

• Touchpoints are disconnected, momentum dies between visits.

• Great promos, but no list to reach people at the right time.

• Reviews plateau because happy customers forget.

• First-time buyers are not nudged back within 30 days.

WeAlert closes these gaps with QR opt-ins, SMS campaigns and automations, review boosters, and smart offers, all working together.

SMS marketing: your new revenue stream

Email is crowded and social reach is unreliable. SMS is immediate, personal, and trackable when you use it with consent and clear value.

In practice:

• Welcome offer that converts: scan at checkout, join the list, get a time-boxed incentive to return this week.

• Slow-day bump: message nearby subscribers, “Pop in 12 to 4 pm, show LUNCH10 for 10% off.”

• Product drops with urgency: “New collection in, reply HOLD to reserve for 2 hours.”

• Review flywheel: “How did we do? Tap to leave a 30-second review.”

How WeAlert sets you up fast

Build your list everywhere: countertop QR, window decals, receipts, packaging, website banner and checkout.
Automations that compound:

• Welcome journey, instant perk plus a nudge after 3 days

• Win-back after 30 days with no purchase

• Birthday club

• Review booster, two hours after purchase

Quick campaigns: new arrivals, event reminders, hyper-local promos by store and time slot.
Smart controls: segments such as VIPs and lapsed, quiet hours, dashboards for opt-ins, clicks, redemptions, revenue.

Simple revenue math

Add 400 subscribers in month one. Send two value-led texts. If 10% visit (redemption rate) and the average spend is £22:

• 400 × 10% = 40 visits

• 40 × £22 = £880 incremental revenue, before automations and upsells.

Copy-paste SMS templates

• Welcome: “Thanks for joining [Store]! Here is [OFFER] for your next visit, valid 7 days. Show code WELCOME22.”

• Slow day: “Weekday treat, two for one on [Item] today 12 to 4 pm. Show code TREAT.”

• New stock: “They are back. [Hot Product] just landed. Reply HOLD to reserve for 2 hours.”

• Win-back: “We miss you. Enjoy 10% off this week with MISSEDYOU.”

• Review: “How did we do at [Store]? Quick 30-second review: [short link].”

Where to place the QR

Till point, card reader stand, changing rooms or mirrors, front window, shelf talkers or table tents, website header and checkout, socials, receipts, takeaway packaging.

Best practices

Offer real value, time-box incentives for 7 to 10 days, use one clear call to action, segment early, and track opt-ins, repeat rate inside 30 days, average order value, and review velocity.
