Flozari helps Etsy sellers share shop listings, explain customization, and collect details for personalized or wholesale requests.

Meet people at the moment of interest

Give every etsy sellers inquiry a useful first response

Someone sees your Instagram post and comments, “Can you make this in another colour?” — Flozari can recognize CUSTOM or another trigger you choose and respond while their interest is still fresh.

The conversation moves into DM, where you can share the relevant resource, ask for useful context, and make the next step clear without repeating the same answer manually.

The Flozari flow for etsy sellers

From Instagram comment to organized shopping conversation

Four connected stages help etsy sellers respond, guide, organize, and follow up without making the customer journey feel complicated.

  1. 01

    Capture

    Recognize “CUSTOM” and other high-intent etsy sellers comments.

  2. 02

    Converse

    Send listing and collection links and answer the next question in DM.

The first-DM blueprint

Help first. Qualify second.

A strong first DM should continue the promise made in the post. Give the person a useful answer first, then gather only the context needed to recommend the right next step.

  1. 01

    Acknowledge the exact request

    Connect the reply to “Can you make this in another colour?” so the message feels like a natural continuation of the post.

  2. 02

    Give immediate value

    Yes. Here are the available options and the details needed for a custom request. Deliver the promised information before asking the person to do more.

  3. 03

    Ask one useful question

    Start with the detail that changes the recommendation most: the product, variant, size, budget, or buying detail that matters.

  4. 04

    Set the next expectation

    Explain how the conversation can continue toward the right product, collection, buying guide, or checkout path.

Frequently asked questions

Instagram automation for etsy sellers

How can Etsy Sellers use Instagram DM automation?

Flozari can recognize relevant comments, send a useful private response, share the right resource, collect basic context, and organize the conversation for the right product, collection, buying guide, or checkout path.

Can Flozari respond when someone comments “CUSTOM”?

Yes. You can use “CUSTOM” or another campaign-specific keyword as a trigger, then send a public acknowledgement and continue the useful part of the conversation in DM.

What should the first DM for Etsy Sellers include?

Start with the information promised in the post. For this use case, that could mean: send listing and collection links; gather custom-order requirements; handle wholesale and gifting inquiries. Keep the first message focused and make one next action obvious.

Can Flozari collect contact details and qualify interest?

Yes. After providing value, the flow can request an email address and ask a concise question about the product, variant, size, budget, or buying detail that matters. The conversation can then be tagged for follow-up.

Will automation make the etsy sellers experience feel impersonal?

It does not have to. Use automation for the predictable first response and repeated information, then let a person step in when the conversation needs judgment, reassurance, or a tailored recommendation.

Can Flozari work with the tools I already use?

Flozari can guide people toward your existing links and next-step systems, while integrations can help connect lead details to the rest of your workflow. The goal is to improve the Instagram entry point, not force every step into one inbox.
