Small business owners lose hours to writing: replies, offers, descriptions, follow-ups. These eight prompts handle the daily stack, tuned on a real Jaipur print shop’s chats and a Pune boutique’s Instagram. They are deliberately short, insist on plain language, and refuse corporate filler. Paste your shop facts once at the top of the chat, then run prompts one at a time.
