How Koala Cove Raised WhatsApp Replies 46% with Ferbz
Koala Cove used Ferbz to automate festive booking confirmations and follow‑ups, driving higher reply rates and repeat visits during Ganesh Chaturthi.
01 — THE CHALLENGE
Koala Cove, a small boutique selling locally‑made apparel, saw a surge in footfall for Ganesh Chaturthi but struggled to keep appointment confirmations and post‑sale follow‑ups organized, leading to missed repeat sales.
Manual confirmations
Staff had to phone each customer to confirm try‑on appointments, causing delays and occasional double‑bookings.
Inconsistent follow‑ups
After a sale, reminders were sent manually, resulting in low response rates and forgotten repeat visits.
No insight into messaging impact
The owner could not measure how WhatsApp outreach affected repeat sales or revenue.
02 — THE SOLUTION
Ferbz streamlined Koala Cove’s customer flow with automated WhatsApp communications tied directly to sales and appointments.
Appointments
Bookings auto‑generated a WhatsApp confirmation with calendar link.
Automation
A plain‑English goal (“thank customers and invite them back after 7 days”) produced a multi‑step WhatsApp journey.
Broadcasts
One‑off festive offers were sent to all customers with delivery and read stats.
Retention analytics
Revenue, repeat‑visit rate, and messaging effectiveness were tracked in real time.
The integrated workflow turned every Sale into an automated, timed WhatsApp conversation.
