Food & Pickles
Pickles, sweets, snacks, ghee — sold from your kitchen to their kitchen.
Home-made food is a trust business. Every customer wants to know: how fresh, how clean, how long it'll last. HeyHomie turns those conversations into a system — and turns first-time tasters into monthly subscribers.

The pain
Three things that quietly eat your margin.
01 · Pain
Trust is everything — and slow to build
She wants to know who's making the food. One unanswered 'is it homemade?' question and the sale is gone.
02 · Pain
Repeat orders are luck, not a system
She loved the mango pickle. But by the time she finishes the jar, she's forgotten your name. No nudge, no reorder.
03 · Pain
Shipping food is fragile
Spillage, delays, FSSAI questions, cold-chain for ghee — and you're handling it all on WhatsApp with sticky-notes.
The journey
From first message to repeat customer. Step by step.
01
Lead capture
Reels, Facebook ads, neighbourhood WhatsApp groups → your chat.
Run Click-to-WhatsApp ads showing your masala dabba on Instagram. Put a QR on your jars. Share your store link in society groups. Every channel funnels into one inbox.
Outcome — Every taster → a contact. No more 'aunty's number is lost' moments.

Bot understands intent. 'Spicy pickle' → 3 spicy variants. 'For diabetic mother' → low-oil, low-sugar selection. 'Festival hamper' → curated bundle.
Outcome — She finds what she came for in 30 seconds. Adds 2 things she didn't plan to buy.

Real story
What changed for Anita P.
“My homemade pickles had a loyal base but I was losing 70% of first-time buyers after one order. HeyHomie's retention journey changed that. 40% reorder within 30 days now. The monthly subscription box has 100+ active families.”
