Answer “Does This Run True to Size?” Before They Scroll Past

A boutique lives or dies on the questions that come before checkout — does it run true to size, is it restocking, does it work for a specific occasion.

Reflys answers instantly in the DM instead of losing the sale to a faster-replying brand.

Clothing Boutique Automation: a customer question answered and confirmed in a Reflys chat

Where boutique
sales stall

  1. “Does this run true to size?” questions pile up under every new post

  2. Restock timing for a sold-out style gets asked about one DM at a time

  3. Styling and occasion questions (“does this work for a wedding guest”) take real thought to answer, and staff can't keep up during a launch

  4. Order and inventory data live in the store's e-commerce platform, disconnected from wherever the comments and DMs are actually happening

  5. A viral post or influencer tag creates a traffic spike the inbox can't keep pace with

  6. Exchange requests for the wrong size repeat constantly with no standard flow to catch them early

Instagram DM Automation for Boutiques That Answers Before They Scroll Past

A boutique sale is usually decided by one question asked under a post: does it run true to size, is it coming back, would it work for a wedding. If the answer takes three hours, the shopper has bought something similar from a faster brand. Instagram DM automation for boutiques answers in seconds, in private, with the details of that exact piece.

How it works

  1. Move comments into a private chat

    Comment to DM automation turns “price?” and “restock?” comments into a direct conversation immediately, so buying questions are not left sitting in public under the post.

  2. Answer sizing from your own notes

    A size and fit chatbot replies with garment-specific guidance drawn from your fit notes, not a generic chart. “Size down, the waist has stretch” sells more than a table of inches.

  3. Announce restocks automatically

    Back in stock alerts go out the moment sold-out styles or sizes return, to the people who asked.

  4. Connect your e-commerce platform

    By API or webhook, Reflys reads inventory and order data and writes updates back, so order status questions get a real answer.

In practice

Picture a Friday evening post of a new midi dress. Forty comments arrive in an hour, half asking about fit. Each person gets a private message saying the dress runs slightly large and that the model is five foot six in a small. A shopper asks whether it suits a June wedding, is told yes with a shoe suggestion, and checks out before the owner has looked at her phone.

Practical tips

  • Write fit notes per garment in the words customers use: runs small, generous in the bust, cropped on tall frames. Those phrases become your best answers.

  • For styling advice such as wedding guest outfits, prepare short answers for your most asked occasions and hand anything unusual to a person.

  • When exchange requests keep naming the same style, change that style's fit note. Repeated exchanges are sizing feedback you are paying for.
