“Most customers who visit your shop will not return. Not because they did not like it, but simply because no one followed up.”
Every day, people walk into physical outlets or offline stores. They look around. They ask questions. Then they leave. Most of them never come back.
Think about last month. How many customers visited your shop? Now think about how many returned without you personally calling them or running an ad.
That number, for most Indian retail stores, is close to zero. And that gap is where revenue disappears quietly, every single month.

The Problem isn’t Footfall. It’s What Happens After Footfall.
Ravi Agarwal runs a readymade garments shop in Jaipur's Bapu Bazaar. He has a good location, steady walk-in traffic, and customers who leave satisfied.
But despite all of that, he had no way to reach customers who had visited the previous week, no channel to announce new stock arrivals, and no method to follow up with the people who had browsed without buying.
Especially when the season slowed, his revenue slowed with it, because the entire business depended on whoever walked in that day.
"I had to keep finding new customers every month. There was simply no way to re-engage the ones who had already visited."
– Ravi Agarwal, garments shop owner, Jaipur
This isn’t just a problem for shop owners in Jaipur or in the garment industry.
It is the most common revenue leak in Indian offline retail, and it affects jewellery stores, salons, furniture showrooms, electronics shops, tile dealers, and kirana stores with equal frequency. The customers exist, but the ongoing relationship does not.
What is The AiSensy Showroom Kit
The AiSensy Showroom Kit is a simple in-store setup that helps you capture walk-in customers on WhatsApp and stay connected with them even after they leave your shop.
You place a QR stand inside your store, usually at the billing counter or entrance. When a customer scans it, a WhatsApp chat opens instantly, and the customer sends a message.
From that moment, their number is saved, and you can reach them later with offers, updates, or reminders that bring them back to your shop.
What Comes Inside the AiSensy Showroom Kit?
Depending on your location, the physical kit is delivered to your store within 4 to 7 days, and the WhatsApp Business API is set up for you at no additional cost.

Benefits of the AiSensy Showroom Kit
Most shops lose customers after one visit. With the Showroom Kit, every customer who scans your QR code becomes a future sales opportunity.
Their number gets saved, messages go automatically, and your shop stays in their mind even after they leave.
1. Start Capturing Customers from Day 1
The moment your QR is placed in your shop, customer capture begins. Every scan adds a new WhatsApp contact to your database without any manual effort or bothering your customers.
“Most stores capture 100+ new customer contacts every month.”
2. Turn One-Time Visitors into Repeat Customers
Customers who visited but didn’t buy are not lost anymore.
Automatic follow-up messages remind them, bring them back, and convert them into paying customers.
“Up to 3x more repeat customers through timely follow-ups.”
3. Bring Customers Back on Demand
You don’t have to wait for footfall anymore. With broadcast messages, you can send offers, new arrivals, or sale announcements to all your customers in seconds.
“2 to 5 times higher footfall on days you send a broadcast.”
4. Easily Convert Missed Customers into Sales
Many customers visit, browse, and leave without buying. A simple reminder or offer at the right time brings them back.
“20-30% of these customers return when followed up properly.”
5. Build a Customer Database That Becomes Your Asset
Your customer list is no longer dependent on Instagram or ads. Every number you collect is a direct connection you own.
“500+ customers in your database can translate into ₹50,000+ potential monthly revenue.”
6. Respond Faster, Build Trust, Close More Sales
With team access, your staff can reply to customer queries instantly on WhatsApp. Faster replies build trust, and trust leads directly to conversions.
“Set up once, runs automatically every day.”
7. Get New Customers Directly on WhatsApp
Run Click-to-WhatsApp ads and start conversations instantly.
“₹500 ad credit included to get started.”
8. Generate Sales Without Daily Effort
Once your WhatsApp automation messages are set, everything runs automatically in the background.
You don’t need to follow up manually or manage campaigns every day.
“Set it once, and your shop keeps generating repeat sales.”
9. Turn Your Shop into a 24/7 Sales Engine
Even when you’re busy or not actively marketing:
- WhatsApp Messages are going to the correct customers at the correct time
- Your customers are actively getting reminded
- Sales opportunities are being created
Therefore, your business keeps generating revenue even when you aren't working.
Taken together, these nine outcomes address the full customer lifecycle from the moment someone scans your QR code, through the follow-up that brings them back, to the broadcast that drives a second and third visit, and the reputation protection that ensures a difficult interaction does not cost you future business.
Setup Guide for the AiSensy Showroom Kit
Setting up the AiSensy Showroom Kit is simple and does not require any technical knowledge. Here’s how you can set it up within a few steps:
1. Step 1: Order and receive the Showroom Kit
Order the Showroom Kit online. Your acrylic QR stand and 5 QR stickers are delivered to your shop within 4 to 7 days.
Place the QR stand at your billing counter or entrance, and put the stickers at spots where walk-in customers naturally stop. Congratulations, the physical setup of the Showroom Kit is done.
2. Step 2: Apply for your WhatsApp Business API activation
Once your kit arrives, the next step is activating your WhatsApp Business API, and this is the step that unlocks everything.
Without API activation, your QR stand can capture contacts, but you cannot broadcast to them, automate follow-up messages, add your staff to handle chats, or track who opened your message. The API is what turns your contact list into a working sales and retention channel.
Here is how the activation works once you’ve received and installed the kit physically:
- Connect your number: Share your business WhatsApp number with the AiSensy team. You can use your existing business number or a new one.
- Onboarding begins the same day: The AiSensy team starts your setup immediately after your order is confirmed at no extra cost.
- Your API goes live: Once activated, your WhatsApp number is connected to the AiSensy dashboard, and you’re ready to start capturing customers and sending messages.
3. Step 3: Download the AiSensy mobile app and sign up
Once your API is live, download the AiSensy mobile app, sign up, and log in. Your dashboard, live chat inbox, broadcast manager, QR scan tracker, and ads manager are all accessible directly from your phone.
4. Step 4: Set up your kit and get started
Inside the app, configure your automated drip message sequence once at once,
It includes a welcome message on Day 1, a discount offer on Day 5, a new arrival update on Day 10, and a re-engagement nudge on Day 15.
Every new customer who scans your QR code enters this sequence automatically from that point forward.
When a customer scans, WhatsApp opens on their phone, they send one message, and their number and name are saved to your contact database instantly.
That’s it, now we’ll show you what you do with the AiSensy Showroom Kit.
What Changed for Ravi and for Over 5,000 Stores Like His with the Showroom Kit?
Ravi placed his QR stand on his billing counter on the day the kit arrived, and that was the only physical action he needed to take. Everything else happened automatically.
The moment a customer scanned and sent a message, their contact was saved in his dashboard, and his automated welcome was already on its way, while the customer was still standing at the counter completing their purchase.
Here’s what it looks like:
| Timeline | Message Type | Purpose | What Happens ⭐ |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scan Day | Instant Welcome Message | Start conversation | Message sent instantly when QR is scanned, while customer is still in-store ✔ |
| Day 5 | Thank-you + Offer | Bring customer back | Time-bound discount nudges undecided customers to revisit ✔ |
| Day 10 | New Arrival Update | Re-engage interest | New stock shared with interested customers without ad spend ✔ |
| Day 15 | Re-engagement Message | Win back customer | Reminder message brings back customers who haven’t returned ✔ |
Ravi configured all four messages once. Since then, every new customer who scans the QR automatically enters this sequence without any further action.
“Earlier, I thought WhatsApp was just for chatting. Now my existing customers are returning, and some are even referring their friends."
— Ravi Agarwal, 3 months after setting up the AiSensy Showroom Kit
The Types of Stores This Works For
Any retail store where customers visit in person is a strong fit for the Showroom Kit by AiSensy, including garments and fashion, jewellery, electronics, furniture and home decor, salons and beauty, tiles and building materials, bakeries, optical stores, and kirana shops.
Because the QR scan behaviour is already deeply familiar to Indian customers through UPI payments, adoption at the counter is immediate and requires no explanation from your staff.
Every day, every shop owner is trying to bring in more customers. But the real opportunity lies in the customers who have already visited once.
The AiSensy Showroom Kit, powered by the Automation Lite Plan, ensures that a single visit does not end at the counter.
It continues on WhatsApp, where it creates multiple chances to bring that customer back again.
Everything You Need to Know About the Plan Pricing in the Showroom Kit?
| Plan Duration | Price | Billing Cycle | Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Month | ₹699/mo | Billed monthly | GST included ✔ |
| 3 Months | ₹665/mo | Billed every 3 months | Save more ✔ |
| 12 Months | ₹630/mo | Billed annually | Best value ⭐ |
A note on WhatsApp message rates: Sending messages through the WhatsApp Business API carries a per-message charge set by Meta, not by AiSensy. Marketing messages are charged at ₹1.09 per message and utility messages at ₹0.145 per message. The ₹50 WhatsApp credits included in the kit cover your initial messages, and you can top up as your contact list grows.
