The textable storefront

"Text us" converts better than "call us" and infinitely better than a contact form. A sticker in the window makes the whole storefront textable: after hours, before opening, from the sidewalk.

The questions you're currently losing

"Are you open Sunday?" "Do you have this in a small?" "Do you take custom orders?" Each of these is a sale that walks away when the answer costs a phone call. A scan-and-text costs the customer nothing, and lands in your inbox with a push, so you answer between customers instead of mid-pour.

Why not put the shop cell in the window?

• Numbers in windows get scraped into spam lists and lead-gen databases within weeks.
• Staff turnover: the relay stays with the shop; a personal number leaves with the person.
• Boundaries: pause outside hours if you want true quiet, or leave it on and triage in the morning. Callers at 11pm get neither option.

Placements that work

Front window (eye level, near the hours sign), market stalls (customers who'll decide later), studio doors for makers who sell by appointment, food trucks (tomorrow's location questions), receipts and packaging for after-sale questions that would otherwise become returns.

Makers and artists: the say-hi sticker is the same product with a more personal bio. The mechanics are identical. See how it works.
