THE PROBLEM

Retail runs on a calendar that social media keeps missing

Retail has a rhythm: new arrivals, seasonal sales, holidays, store events and clearance. Each moment needs posts on several channels, usually in the same week the team is busiest on the shop floor.

So posts go out late, sale prices are copied by hand and sometimes wrong, and the photos are the same ones from the website. Customers who follow the store see little reason to visit.

PQZ plans the retail calendar ahead with Content Autopilot, makes fresh product images with Create Image, and quotes prices and offers from your approved facts, so the right sale goes out at the right time with the right numbers.

IN DETAIL

Retail details PQZ gets right

Prices that are always current

Prices and offers are facts in your Brand Kit. Change the sale price or end date once and every new draft follows, so nobody copies an old number.

Products that look like the product

Create Image keeps the product exactly as it is and changes only the scene, so what customers see online matches what is on the shelf.

Local and online together

Post store events to Facebook and product posts to Instagram from the same calendar, and send people to the shop or the site with tracked short links.

Holidays in advance

Turn on holidays for your country and Autopilot drafts posts weeks ahead, ready for approval before the busy week starts.

FAQ

Questions about Retail

Can PQZ use my product photos?

Yes. Upload them to the Media Library, and Create Image keeps each product exactly as it is.

Does it know my prices?

Yes, from your Brand Kit. Update a price or offer once and new drafts use it.

Can it post for my physical store?

Not yet. Google Business Profile is coming soon. Until then, store news, hours and events go to Facebook and Instagram.

Can I run ads?

Yes. Meta ads are on Pro and Agency.

Does it work with Shopify?

Shopify is in beta and syncs products so captions quote the live price.

How much time does it take?

Most retailers approve the month in about an hour.

Which plan should a store choose?

Pro at $79 once covers one store, with Autopilot, video and ads. See pricing.

Can I manage several stores?

Yes. A workspace per store on Agency. See multi-location.
