Post-Service Follow-Up & Reviews for Shoe Repair & Cobbler Shops

{"faqs":[{"answer":"That's exactly what our Post-Service Follow-Up & Reviews campaign does. After a customer picks up their repair, our team reaches out in your shop's name with a thank-you and a review request — and you approve every message before it goes out. We also run Review Response & Reputation Management, delivering a personal, on-brand reply to every review every week, which strengthens how you show up when people search 'shoe repair near me.'","question":"How do I get more Google reviews from my shoe repair customers without begging at the counter?"},{"answer":"Yes — we work from your list exactly as it is, whether it lives in a CRM, a spreadsheet, or your point-of-sale system. At the free list review we segment it by recency, old quotes that never became jobs, and happy customers who could refer, so you know your rate, setup, and what your list can produce before spending a dollar.","question":"My customer records are a mess old spreadsheet from my point-of-sale system. Will that work?"},{"answer":"No. CallMyCustomers is fully done-for-you — there's no software to buy or learn. Our team makes the calls and sends the texts and emails in your business's name, you approve the scripts and offers upfront, and replies route back into your existing booking process.","question":"Do I need to buy software or manage another dashboard for my cobbler shop?"},{"answer":"Replies typically start as soon as the first wave of outreach goes out, and win-back campaigns generally run two to four weeks end-to-end. Review responses are delivered every week, and follow-up campaigns keep running so customers never go dormant again. You'll know your expected results at the free list review before any fee.","question":"How fast will I see results, and how long does a campaign take?"},{"answer":"Ads acquire strangers — we reactivate people who already know and trusted your shop, which is roughly 5x cheaper per customer won back. Unlike hiring in-house, there's no per-seat cost or software to manage: you pay a flat one-time setup fee based on list size, plus outreach minutes from 9¢ to 21¢ per minute as volume grows, with texts and emails covered in the quote. And every message is approved by you first — real humans handle the judgment, automation handles the scale.","question":"How is this different from running ads or hiring someone to make calls myself?"}],"steps":[{"step":"1","title":"Free list review","gradient":"from-orange-500 to-red-500","description":"Send us your customer list — CRM, spreadsheet, or point-of-sale export, exactly as it is.
