Architecture firms · WhatsApp marketing

The plot photograph and the khata copy arrive on WhatsApp, not by email.

WhatsApp marketing for an architecture practice is less about broadcasting than about handling what already lands there: a photograph of a plot, a survey sketch, a question about square foot cost at ten at night. GullySales sets up the business account, the project catalogue and the saved replies, and gets the enquiry off one person's phone.

A 90-minute audit call and a written, scored report. Turnaround, reporting and term are agreed in writing after the audit.

What WhatsApp marketing means

WhatsApp marketing is sending updates, offers and reminders to customers on the app most Indian buyers already check daily, which gets read faster than email or SMS. GullySales sets up business WhatsApp, writes the message templates and keeps the list consented and current.

For architecture firms

Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.

  • “The enquiry arrives as a photograph of a plot”

    Somebody standing on a thirty by forty sends a picture and asks what it will cost. That message needs two questions back, not a brochure, and it needs to end up somewhere other than a principal's chat list.

  • “Broadcasting design tips to homeowners does not work”

    Nobody wants advice about elevations while they are not building. What is welcome is one message when a project of their type is published, and site photographs to the client who is actually building.

  • “The client abroad lives on WhatsApp”

    A family in Dubai building on ancestral land approves drawings and watches a slab being poured through a group. Set that group up at the start, with a rule about which decisions get confirmed in writing.

What we do

What we deliver for architecture firms.

Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.

  1. A WhatsApp Business account set up properly

    The practice number, the address, the working hours, a greeting message and a catalogue of project types with photographs.

    Result: A new enquiry meets a practice rather than a personal number.

  2. Saved replies for what actually gets asked

    Square foot cost and why it is a range, what the first meeting involves, how the sanction works, and the documents needed before drawings can start.

    Result: A late-night question gets a real answer in the morning.

  3. The plot enquiry turned into a record

    A short routine for moving a chat into the enquiry record with the locality, the plot size and the budget stage.

    Result: The enquiry survives a lost handset.

  4. A site update group for each live project

    Who is in it, what gets posted and what does not, agreed with the client at the start so it stays about the work.

    Result: The client stops ringing the site engineer for photographs.

  5. A rule on what is decided in a chat

    Design approvals, variations and payments confirmed by email or a signed note, with the chat kept for progress and questions.

    Result: Nobody argues later about a message that was scrolled past.

  6. Consent, and an easy way out

    Anyone added to a project group or a published-work list is told what they will get and how to stop it.

    Result: The practice stays welcome on a channel people guard.

How the result is measured

  • Messages delivered
  • Reply rate
  • Enquiries from WhatsApp

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

Who it is for

This is written for these architecture firms.

  • Residential and villa architecture practices
  • Commercial and corporate campus architecture firms
  • Hospitality architecture practices
  • Institutional architecture firms, schools and hospitals
  • Interior-architecture hybrid practices
  • Sustainable and green building specialists
  • Practices working on government and public sector tenders
  • Boutique single-principal practices

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • You want a guaranteed Google ranking or a guaranteed number of leads. Nobody honest can promise either.
  • You need enquiries by next week and have nobody to answer them.
  • You want posts and reach reported, not enquiries and orders.

How it works

From your first message to the first report.

No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.

  1. 01 · First

    Free audit call

    90 minutes with whoever handles your enquiries: how they arrive, how fast they are answered, where they are lost.

  2. 02 · After the call

    Written, scored report

    Six areas scored, fixes ranked by return and cost. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come with it, in writing.

  3. 03 · Before work starts

    Baseline recorded

    Enquiries by source, reply time, conversion and cost per order, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.

  4. 04 · After the baseline

    The first fix goes live

    Usually the cheapest one on the report: reply time, a follow-up sequence or the marketing-to-sales handover.

  5. 05 · As agreed

    Report against the baseline

    What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words. How often you get it is set in writing before work starts.

  6. 06 · At renewal

    Renew on the numbers

    The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. The length is agreed in writing before anything starts.

How the work runs for architecture firms

  1. 1

    Assess

    We look at how your portfolio is organised, how follow-up is handled through a long sales cycle, and how visible your approval experience is.

  2. 2

    Fix the follow-up

    A tracking system for a multi-month decision, so no serious enquiry goes quiet while a client is still deciding.

  3. 3

    Build the portfolio

    Project pages organised by type, each with a written narrative on the brief, the site challenge and the design solution.

  4. 4

    Bring enquiries in

    Search visibility by project type, tender and RFP tracking, and referral relationships with builders and interior designers.

  5. 5

    Convert

    A clear proposal process, approval experience shown where relevant, and client reference calls arranged for a serious prospect.

Why us

Why owners pick GullySales over an agency.

  • Marketing and sales, as one job

    Most agencies stop at the enquiry. We also fix what happens after it: the reply, the follow-up, the quote and the CRM.

  • The person on the first call does the work

    No account managers in between. You are never handed to someone you have not met.

  • A baseline before anything starts

    Your numbers are written down on day one, so every later report compares against something honest.

  • The fee in writing, split three ways

    Our time, your media spend and production on separate lines. You always see what goes to us.

  • No guarantees we cannot keep

    The term is agreed in writing and never a default twelve months. We never promise a ranking or a lead count, because nobody controls those.

  • One office, and we say so

    Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru. We work across India by call and WhatsApp and travel when a session needs to be in person.

#257, 3rd floor, Sri Nanjundeshwara Complex, Nagarbhavi 8th Block, Outer Ring Road. How we work.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Should we use a personal number or a separate one for the practice?
A separate number, on WhatsApp Business. Enquiries then survive a principal changing phones or a project architect leaving, and nobody has to read studio messages at midnight on a personal chat.
Can we put our portfolio on WhatsApp status?
Yes, and it is one of the few things that annoys nobody, because looking is optional. Post a finished project, a site in progress or a detail drawing. Keep motivational quotes and design tips off it.
How soon would we see more enquiries?
Fixing follow-up discipline is mostly a habit change, so it can start helping as soon as your team follows the new process. Ranking for project-type searches and building referral relationships takes sustained work over a longer stretch.
Do we need to respond to every tender?
No, only the ones matching your team's real capacity and experience, since a mismatched proposal wastes effort on both sides.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped in the free audit and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
How long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after the audit, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you meet on the audit call. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
For the audit, last month's enquiries in any format and 90 minutes with whoever handles them. After that, access to the accounts the work touches, such as the website, Google Business Profile or CRM, and time for the review meetings.
What if we are not happy with the work?
Tell us and the plan changes. Everything is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. The term is in your written scope, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
