The Madurai angle for florists

Madurai's Chithirai Festival (10 days in April-May) brings 5× normal foot traffic; SMBs without queue management on WhatsApp lose customers to wait times.

WhatsApp queries on delivery day are 70% 'where is it?'

On Valentine's, Mother's Day, Diwali — query volume spikes 5×. 70% are status checks. The other 30% (real new orders) get drowned and miss the cut-off.

Custom orders need design back-and-forth

Bouquet, cake design, hamper customization — needs photo references, approvals, revisions. Without structure, this loops 5-7 messages per order, killing throughput.

Delivery ETA is guesswork

Customer asks at 2pm 'will it reach by 6pm?' You hope. The bouquet leaves at 4:30. Reaches at 6:45. They blame you, not the traffic.

Language + voice in Madurai

Tamil-only for most customer interactions; English in formal/educational sectors.
