Montessori schools · WhatsApp marketing
Answer parents on WhatsApp the way the school answers them in person.
WhatsApp marketing for a Montessori school means using the app parents already check to confirm visits, answer questions and share admissions details with their consent. GullySales sets up a business number, saved replies and message wording, and the school decides who answers.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.
What WhatsApp marketing means
WhatsApp marketing is sending updates, offers and reminders to customers on the app most Indian buyers already check daily. GullySales sets up business WhatsApp, writes the message templates and keeps the list consented and current.

For montessori schools
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Parents in India message before they ring”
A parent sees the number on a signboard or listing and sends a message before dialling. A school that answers in writing, in the parent's own language, wins the next step. The saved replies are written in the languages your parents use.
“A personal phone is not a school channel”
When enquiries reach the principal's own number, they are lost while the principal is in class or away. A business number shared by the admissions team keeps the conversation with the school. Keeping the account with the school also survives a change of coordinator.
“Children's pictures do not belong in broadcast lists”
A broadcast list is the wrong place for classroom photos. Share images of children only in a class group where every parent has consented, and keep broadcasts for admissions information. Check the platform's current rules and each parent's wishes before sharing any image.
“Consent is asked for, never assumed”
A parent who sent one enquiry has not agreed to every announcement. Record permission, offer a clear way to stop messages, and check the platform's current rules on business messaging. Respecting a parent's choice keeps the school's number welcome in their phone.
What we do
What we deliver for montessori schools.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
Business number set-up
A business profile with school name, address, hours and a short description of the programme.
Result: Parents see a school, not a stranger's number.
Saved replies for common questions
Ready answers on ages taught, visit booking and what to bring, edited by the principal.
Result: The first reply to an enquiry is accurate and warm.
Visit confirmation and reminder messages
Wording for the booking confirmation and the reminder before the visit.
Result: Parents who book at night receive confirmation without waiting for the desk.
Consent record and stop wording
A register of who agreed to messages, and a plain line for opting out.
Result: The school can show that each family chose to receive messages.
A hand-over rule
A note on when a chat should move to a call or a visit, such as questions about fees or a child's needs.
Result: Sensitive questions reach a person.

How it works
From your first message to the first report.
No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.
First
Your brief
You tell us what you need in a few short steps: your business, what you want, where enquiries come from and how they are handled.
After the brief
A conversation and a written scope
We read it, then talk with whoever handles your enquiries. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come in writing, and nothing starts before you have read them.
Before work starts
Baseline recorded
The numbers this work is meant to move, such as enquiries, quotations, orders, visits or renewals, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.
After the baseline
The first fix goes live
The fix we agreed to start with is put in place and measured against the baseline, whether that is a reply, a follow-up, a page, a listing or the handover between marketing and sales.
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.
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 whatsapp marketing work runs
- 1
Understand current WhatsApp use
We review how customers currently message you and how consistently, if at all, it is answered.
- 2
Audit common questions
We identify the questions that come up repeatedly, which decide what should be automated first.
- 3
Set up automation and templates
An automated first response and quick reply templates are built for the most common needs.
- 4
Connect to the CRM
Conversations are linked to customer records so context carries over between team members.
- 5
Measure and optimise
We track response time and conversion, refining automated responses based on what customers actually ask.
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.
