You can't answer a call mid-fitting with pins in your hands. We fire an instant text-back the moment a call goes unanswered — so bridal alterations and formal-wear leads stay warm while you finish with the client in front of you.
Alterations shops miss 1 in 3 calls during busy fittings — and a single missed bridal inquiry can mean losing the gown, bridesmaids, and mother-of-the-bride all in one.
Why alterations shops lose their highest-value clients
A bride calls to get her wedding gown altered. You're deep in a fitting, hands full, can't answer. She calls the next alterations shop in town and that job is gone — often $300–$800 in bridal work.
A bride with a wedding in six weeks doesn't call twice. If she doesn't hear back in 20 minutes, she moves on. Missing that one call can mean losing the entire bridal party.
April through June, you're booked solid with fittings. That's also when every other call is a high-value prom or wedding job. Peak season is when missed calls cost you the most.
A customer finds you on Google at 9pm, calls, gets voicemail, and starts fresh with another shop in the morning. An automated text-back at 9pm keeps the conversation alive until you open.
How it works
Can't answer. The bride or customer is about to move on to the next alterations shop on their list.
"Hi, this is [Your Shop]. Sorry we missed you — are you looking to get something altered? What's the occasion and timeline?" The conversation starts before they dial the next number.
Their reply — garment type, event date, urgency — creates a lead thread. You see it when the fitting wraps. Bridal and time-sensitive jobs are flagged at the top.
Founding-client pricing
Foundation: website + hosting + AI chatbot + Google Business Profile + missed-call text-back. Growth adds local SEO, invoicing, and scheduling at $997/mo. Full Office adds a 24/7 AI phone receptionist at $1,497/mo.
Yes. We train the chatbot on your specific services — hem lengths, zipper replacements, bridal alterations, formal wear, leather work — and your typical turnaround times. It answers common questions and captures the lead so you can follow up with a quote.
The chatbot collects the key info: gown style, wedding date, what alterations are needed. It doesn't quote complex bridal work — it gets the details so you can give an accurate quote when you call back. That's faster than playing phone tag.
That's exactly who it's built for. Solo seamstresses and small alterations shops. You set it up once during onboarding. After that, it runs on its own — text-backs go out automatically, leads land in your inbox, you respond when you have a free moment.
Website, enterprise hosting, 24/7 AI chatbot trained on your services, Google Business Profile management, and missed-call text-back. All for $497/mo, no setup fee.
Month-to-month on every tier. No contract, no cancellation fee. You keep the website and your data if you leave.
