How Can I Notify Waiting Customers When a Product Is Back in Stock?
You notify them by keeping a waiting list linked to each product, then triggering a message to everyone on that list when the stock status changes to available. On Jestor, this runs through a waiting list table and automation with WhatsApp.
When customers ask "tell me when it arrives" and nobody writes it down, the sale is lost the moment the product comes back and the customer never hears about it.
What unrecorded waiting requests cost
- Sales lost because interested customers were never notified
- Requests remembered by one employee and forgotten by others
- No data on demand for out-of-stock products
- Customers buying from a competitor in the meantime
How a back-in-stock list works
- Each request is a record linking the customer and the product
- A product marked as available triggers messages to its waiting list
- Messages go out in the order requests were made
- Demand counts show which products deserve higher stock
Why Jestor fits this use case
- Automatic notification turns waiting customers into sales
- Request counts inform purchasing decisions
- Fair ordering keeps customers happy
- This scales from a few requests to large product launches
