Retail

New arrivals deserve
an audience.

On/Special turns your new stock, flash promotions, events and seasonal arrivals into polished social posts automatically. Text what's new. Review the post and approve it when it's ready.

Great products
sit on shelves unseen.

You're serving customers, managing inventory and running the floor. Managing your store's social media is always tomorrow's problem.

📦

New arrivals go unannounced

You just got something your customers would love. Most of them won't find out until they happen to walk in.

⚡

Flash sales underperform

A promotion is only as good as the people who know about it. With no time to post, your best offers go unnoticed.

📅

Seasonal moments get missed

Holiday inventory, seasonal collections, restocks. All worth posting about. All consistently skipped for lack of time.

A better way to
show up online.

1

What most shops try

Batch-shooting products for Instagram, planning content calendars, or paying someone to manage social. All of it takes hours that could be spent with customers.

2

Why it stalls

Retail moves fast. By the time a content calendar is ready, the inventory has changed. The busiest seasons are exactly when posting matters most and when there is the least time to do it.

How On/Special fits

When a shipment arrives, text it. When you mark something down, text it. On/Special creates an on-brand post, sends it for approval, and publishes it to your connected social accounts once you approve.

The best marketing for a retail shop is showing people what just came in. The hardest part has always been finding the time to do it.

Anything new
in your shop.

If it is worth your customers knowing about, text it to On/Special.
