Anchor Co AI gives screen printing shops a 24/7 AI chatbot that answers pricing questions, collects quote details, explains minimums, and captures every lead — even the ones that come in at 10 PM before a Friday event.
The average screen printing shop loses 20–30% of inbound leads to slow quote response — customers that online competitors capture in minutes.
Why screen printing shops lose orders
Teams, events, and businesses need quotes fast. When your shop takes 48–72 hours to respond, the customer has already placed an order with an online competitor — even if your price and quality are better.
Customers waste your time requesting 6-piece orders when your minimum is 24. The chatbot explains minimums, quantity pricing breaks, and setup fees upfront — so you only deal with orders that actually work.
Without a clear intake process, customers assume you can always do next-day turnarounds. The chatbot communicates your standard timeline and rush fee structure so customers self-select the right order type.
"Do you do embroidery too?" "Can you match our Pantone color?" "What file format do you need?" These questions pull your team off the presses and into the inbox — dozens of times a week.
How it works
We train the chatbot on your print methods, garment brands, color counts, quantity breaks, turnaround times, rush fees, and file requirements. It knows your shop's capabilities and limitations cold.
The chatbot collects the customer's quantity, color count, garment type, and timeline — then gives them a ballpark range and captures their contact info for a formal quote. No more lost leads.
Every quote request, captured lead, and order inquiry is logged and sent to you with the customer's specs already collected. You spend time on orders, not information gathering.
Founding-client pricing
Foundation: website + hosting + 24/7 AI chatbot + Google Business Profile + missed-call text-back. Growth adds local SEO, invoicing, and the order pipeline at $997/mo. Full Office adds a 24/7 AI phone receptionist at $1,497/mo.
Yes. We train it on your exact pricing structure — price-per-piece at 24, 48, 72, 144+ units, color count pricing, setup fees, and any garment upcharges. Customers get real numbers, not 'call us for a quote.'
The chatbot is trained on your actual capabilities. If you don't offer a service, it says so clearly and redirects the customer to what you do offer — preventing wasted conversations and quote requests you can't fulfill.
Absolutely. We build in a full art FAQ — accepted file formats (AI, EPS, PDF, PNG 300dpi+), vector art requirements, what to do if they only have a JPG logo, and how to submit files for review.
Yes. Whether you're dealing with a local sports league, a small business ordering branded polos, or a corporate client with a standing apparel program, the chatbot qualifies the order type and routes it correctly.
Month-to-month on every tier. Cancel anytime, keep your website and data. We earn this every month.
The chatbot goes live the day you sign on. No setup fee. No contract. 30-day refund guarantee.
