Past-Quote Price-Match & Win-Back Solutions for Shoe Repair & Cobbler Shops

{"faqs":[{"answer":"We segment your old quotes by service type — resoling, heel replacement, leather reconditioning, stitching repair — and craft a fresh outreach angle (e.g., 'material costs have stabilized, let us honor your original quote'). You approve the offer before any message goes out. Our team calls on your behalf; texts and emails send in your shop's name. Replies book directly into your process.","question":"How does past-quote price-match work for shoe repair estimates that are 6–12 months old?"},{"answer":"Yes. Seasonal & Service Reminders is one of our 16 campaign types. We time outreach to your repair cycles — fall boot prep, winter heel replacement, spring sneaker restoration, summer wedding shoe dyeing and leather handbag repair. You approve every script and offer. Campaigns typically run 2–4 weeks with replies from the first wave.","question":"Can you handle seasonal campaigns for boot resoling in fall and wedding shoe dyeing in spring?"},{"answer":"No software to buy or learn. We work from your list exactly as it is — POS export, spreadsheet, or CRM. Replies route into your existing booking process with confirmations and no-show follow-up. Texts and emails are included in the campaign mix; no per-seat or per-message pricing.","question":"Do I need a CRM or special software to use this for my cobbler shop?"},{"answer":"We work only from lists of real past customers. Opt-outs are honored immediately. All calling and texting regulations (TCPA, A2P 10DLC) are followed. Booking flow collects explicit consent. For any clinical or regulated niches, we operate under required privacy agreements — but for shoe repair, standard consumer compliance applies.","question":"How do you ensure compliance when texting past shoe repair customers?"},{"answer":"Free list review happens first — you see your rate, setup, and revenue potential before any fee. Once approved, win-back campaigns typically run 2–4 weeks end-to-end, with replies coming in as soon as the first outreach wave goes out. Missed-call text-back is instant; review responses are delivered weekly.","question":"What's the typical timeline from list review to first booked resoling appointment?"}],"steps":[{"step":"1","title":"Free List Review & Segmentation","gradient":"from-orange-500 to-red-500","description":"Send us your POS export, spreadsheet, or CRM list.

That makes your unconverted quotes for boot resoling, heel replacement, and leather reconditioning doubly costly: the job never happened, and the customer may never walk back in.

If you're one of the remaining shops running a Landis stitcher and McKay finisher, you're likely a one-or-two-person operation with no spare hours for follow-up calls on old outsole stitching and restitching quotes.

Meanwhile, quotes for boot repair, sneaker restoration, and handbag stitching sit unconverted in your POS or spreadsheet. Industry revenue grew at a 3.9% CAGR to $315.6 million through 2025 — but that growth goes to shops that actively bring customers back. Most customers forget a business within about 12 months; without outreach, last winter's boot resoling customers are already gone."}],"quickWins":["Free list review before any fee: send your POS or spreadsheet of old resoling and reheeling quotes and learn your rate, setup cost, and what the list can produce before spending a dollar.","Segment by repair type and recency — 30-day stitch work, 6-month boot resoling, 12+ month leather reconditioning — so the right offer reaches the right customer."],"subheadline":"We reactivate your past customers and unconverted estimates with approved outreach that books real appointments — no software to learn, no cold lists.","problemTitle":"Why Shoe Repair Shops Lose Revenue to Disposable Footwear","testimonials":[{"quote":"I had two years of boot repair quotes sitting in a spreadsheet — people who came in asking about resoling and never came back.
