HeyHomie
For beauty & skincare brands

Every chat becomes a 1:1 skin consult.

Beauty is a “will this work for me?” business. HeyHomie asks the right questions, recommends the right product — like a consultant who never sleeps — and reorders before the bottle runs out.

Sound familiar?

“Which serum for oily, acne-prone skin?” You answer the same 12 questions all day — and still she isn’t sure.

What if every customer got a personal skin consult, bought the right thing the first time, and came back before the bottle was even empty?

The pain

Three things quietly costing you sales.

01 · Pain

Every enquiry is a 15-minute free consult.

“Mere face pe pimples + dark spots dono hain, kaunsa use karun?” Each one needs skin type, concern, allergies — ten minutes of back-and-forth, dozens a day, and you're not even at your desk.

02 · Pain

You give the advice. Nykaa gets the order.

Hours of careful consultation — photos, routines, patience. Then “thanks didi, sochti hoon” … and a week later you spot her tagging a big brand's serum. The expertise was yours; the sale wasn't.

03 · Pain

The bottle runs out — and so does the relationship.

A loyal customer finishes her serum in 6-8 weeks. Nobody reminds her, so she grabs a Minimalist one during a sale. A ₹699 repeat order, and a relationship, quietly lost to a nudge that was never sent.

How it works for you

From first message to repeat customer.

01

Lead capture

Reel to skin-consult in 60 seconds.

Your “how to fade dark spots” reel sends her to WhatsApp, where the bot greets her and opens a quick skin consult — instead of her photo sitting unseen in a pile of DMs till morning.

Outcome — Cost per lead drops ~60% vs website ads, and she arrives already in a guided conversation.

AI consultant

Asks 2 questions, recommends like a derm would.

Skin type, concern, sensitivity — then the right one or two products, not five. Every reply carries the ingredient list and a patch-test note, so you never give a vague or risky answer that breaks trust.

Outcome — Recommended products convert ~4× better than browse-and-buy. Trust feels personal.

Right match, not 50 products

She sees the routine for her concern — and nothing else.

A morning + evening routine card with realistic timelines: “acne 2-3 weeks, dark spots 6-8 weeks, consistency zaroori.” The matching before/after and a same-concern review reach her automatically.

Outcome — Average order rises from a single ₹599 product to ₹900-1,200 routine combos. Wrong-product complaints fall sharply.

04

Proof that converts

The right before/after — for her exact concern.

No generic gallery. The bot sends the testimonial and result photo from someone with the same skin story, plus your clean-label credentials — the trust an indie brand needs against the big D2C names.

Outcome — Skincare buyers research for days; the proof lands on the day they're ready to buy.

05

Checkout that fits

COD for the first order, UPI for the regulars.

A payment link right in the chat. First-timers get COD with confirmation so an unknown indie brand feels safe; repeat buyers tap UPI. Risky pincodes get flagged before dispatch.

Outcome — First-time hesitation drops, COD refusals stay controlled, and the cart moves in minutes.

06

Reorder before she runs out

The refill nudge you always forgot to send.

Around week 6, when the bottle is due to run low, she gets a warm one-tap reorder — with a small repeat-customer perk. The replenishment you were losing to a competitor's sale now comes back to you.

Outcome — Repeat rate within 6 months climbs from ~18% to ~38%. Predictable monthly income from a consumable.

Real story

What changed for Aditi R.

I used to spend whole afternoons giving free skin advice that walked off to Nykaa. Now the consult happens in the chat, the right proof goes out on its own, and the reorder reminder brings them back. My repeat customers finally feel like mine.

Questions, answered

The things sellers ask us first.

Will it really recommend the right product for each skin type?

Yes — it runs a short skin consult (type, concern, sensitivity) and matches one or two products, with ingredient and patch-test notes attached every time.

Are ingredient and safety questions handled correctly?

Every product carries its full INCI list, key actives, and a clear ‘patch-test / avoid if pregnant’ note — so no vague answer ever breaks trust.

Why would a customer trust my indie brand over the big names?

Because it feels like a real store — founder story, concern-tagged reviews, clean-label credentials and secure UPI — not a personal DM.

How does the reorder reminder know when to fire?

It tracks each customer's last order and nudges them around when a bottle is due to run out, with a one-tap reorder link.

Do first-time buyers get COD?

Yes — COD with WhatsApp confirmation for first orders, UPI for repeat buyers, and risky pincodes flagged to keep refusals low.

Four free channels you already have. Ads only when you want them.

You don’t need to buy customers to start. HeyHomie turns the WhatsApp surfaces you already use into a selling machine — and keeps paid ads ready for the day you choose to scale.

WhatsApp Status

Free

Post once — every saved customer sees it for 24 hours. A daily shopfront.

WhatsApp Groups

Free

Your community and local groups, where peer trust converts better than any ad.

WhatsApp Catalogue

Free

An always-on storefront living right inside the chat — no website to visit.

1:1 Chats

Free

Every enquiry answered in seconds, in 10 Indian languages, by the AI bot — even at 2 AM.

Click-to-WhatsApp Ads

Paid · optional

When you want to scale: Instagram & Facebook ads that open straight into your chat — tracked to the rupee.

Everyone chases new customers. The profit is in the ones you keep.

Skincare is a consumable — the real money is in the refill she’d otherwise grab from a big brand. Retention is your moat.

Refill before the bottle’s empty

Around week 6 a one-tap reorder lands — so she refills with you, not a sale on Nykaa.

Routine & season switches

Summer SPF, winter moisture, a new concern — the right next product, at the right time.

Win back lapsed skin

Stopped reordering? A gentle “how’s your skin doing?” with her routine reopens the chat.

Refer-a-friend & repeat perks

A free mini for repeat buyers and “both get 15% off” turns loyal skin into new customers.

More than selling on WhatsApp — retaining on WhatsApp.
