AI marketing for retail and e-commerce solo operators
A one person shop, online or at a market table, runs on the owner doing every job, and marketing gets whatever hour is left after the orders ship. Flo drafts your daily posts, your product pages and blog, the email to past buyers and your Google review replies, and every draft waits for you to approve it.
When the seller is the brand, the feed is where buyers see the person behind the products, and a feed that stops leaves them guessing whether the shop is still open.
For makers, resellers, pop-ups and one person stores
How does a one person store keep selling while you pack orders?
By having the posts written before the busy week arrives. Orders and posting compete for the same hours, so the posts need to exist before the orders do. Choose your line of work from the list below.

You have questions. We have answers.
What solo sellers and makers ask first.
I mostly sell on marketplaces. Is this still useful?
It is, because a marketplace listing belongs to the marketplace. Your own site, email list and social following are the audience that stays with you if a policy or a fee changes.
Can it announce a market or pop-up date?
Give Flo the date and place and it drafts the posts leading up to it, plus an email to your list. They are ready to approve well before you load the van.
I make everything by hand. Can posts explain the process?
They can. Put your materials and methods in the Knowledge base, and the drafts describe them the way you would.
What if I only have time to approve once a week?
That works fine. Drafts can be approved in a batch on a quiet evening and then go out on their schedule through the week.
