Day care centres · WhatsApp marketing
Answer the 11pm message about the infant room before the mother falls asleep.
Most day care enquiries now arrive on WhatsApp, late at night, from a mother who cannot make a phone call during office hours. The same number then carries daily updates to enrolled families, which is where it turns into a mess. GullySales separates the admission line from the parent groups and sets rules for both.
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.

Sales and marketing for day care centres, the overview.
For day care centres
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The admission enquiry and the parent group cannot share one inbox”
A new enquiry about the infant room disappears under two hundred messages from the toddler-room parent group by morning. Keep admissions on a separate business number, or the message you answer first will be the one that did not need answering.
“A child's photograph needs written consent before it leaves the building”
A caregiver forwarding a nap-time picture to a prospective parent is the quickest way to lose a family you already have. Consent is per parent and per use, and it belongs on paper before a single image is sent anywhere.
“The broadcast to every parent is how the number gets blocked”
Holiday notices and fee reminders belong on WhatsApp. An admission offer sent to the families already paying you does not. Once a mother blocks the number, the next genuine message about a fever at 2pm does not reach her.
What we do
What we deliver for day care centres.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A WhatsApp Business account for admissions only
A separate centre number set up with the profile, hours, address and age groups, kept off the parent groups entirely.
Result: A new enquiry is never buried under today's group chatter.
A catalogue of age groups, timings and what the fee covers
The infant, toddler and pre-school options listed in the business catalogue with hours, meals and what is included, so a parent can read before asking.
Result: A mother at 11pm gets her first three questions answered without waiting.
Saved replies for the questions asked at night
Prepared answers for the caregiver ratio, staff verification, CCTV access, the meal plan and the trial-day slot, ready for whoever is on the phone.
Result: The reply is fast and the same whichever staff member sends it.
An away message that still books the visit
An out-of-hours reply that acknowledges the message, gives the trial-day booking link and says when a person will call.
Result: A late-night enquiry is held rather than lost to the next centre.
A written photograph consent form
A short consent covering the daily update, the website and any advertising, signed at admission and recorded against the child.
Result: Staff know exactly which child may appear where.
Rules for the parent group
What goes to the group, what goes to one parent only, and what never goes on WhatsApp at all, written down and shared with every caregiver.
Result: The group stays useful and parents stop muting it.
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 day care centres.

- Preschool-attached day care centres
- Corporate day care tie-ups inside office campuses

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. Each step has a point in time and something you receive.
01 · Day 1
Free audit call
90 minutes with whoever handles your enquiries: how they arrive, how fast they are answered, where they are lost.
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.
03 · Before work starts
Baseline recorded
Enquiries by source, reply time, conversion and cost per order, written down so every later month has an honest comparison.
04 · Month 1
The first fix goes live
Usually the cheapest one on the report: reply time, a follow-up sequence or the marketing-to-sales handover.
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.
06 · At the end of the term
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 day care centres
- 1
Assess
We look at how your centre appears when a parent searches nearby, and how fast trial-day enquiries are answered on phone and WhatsApp. We also check where enquiries are being lost between the first message and the signed admission.
- 2
Fix the profile and the reply
Google Business Profile completed with real photographs of the rooms and staff. A WhatsApp and call reply routine that never leaves a parent waiting overnight, plus a record of every enquiry.
- 3
Show the safety proof parents are looking for
Staff verification, CCTV access, the child-to-caregiver ratio and the meal and nap schedule written out clearly. These are the details that move a nervous parent to book a trial day.
- 4
Bring enquiries in
Local search, reviews from real parents, corporate outreach for employee childcare tie-ups, and advertising timed to the April and June admission season.
- 5
Keep families enrolled
A renewal reminder before the academic year changes, and a referral ask to parents already settled in. A follow-up process the front desk actually runs for every trial day that has not converted.

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
