Skating academies · WhatsApp marketing
Parents ask on WhatsApp first, so the academy's number must answer like a front desk.
WhatsApp marketing for a skating academy means using the number parents already message for trials, timings and fees, and keeping batch updates in one place. GullySales works on the account set-up, the standing answers and the rules for who may be messaged.
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 skating academies
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The flyer number is a WhatsApp number”
Parents message rather than phone. If that number is a coach's personal phone, enquiries vanish when the coach is on the ground. A shared business account with an owner for the inbox fixes it.
“Batch groups blur into chatter”
A parents' group for each batch carries timetable changes, but also forwards and arguments. Announcement-only groups, or a broadcast list, keep notices clear and keep parents from leaving.
“Consent comes before any broadcast”
A parent who gave a number for a trial has not agreed to promotions. Ask plainly, record the answer and respect a request to stop. Check the platform's current rules on business messaging.
“Quick replies save the trial”
Parents ask the same four things: where, when, how much and what to bring. A saved reply for each, in the language the parent writes in, answers while interest is high.
What we do
What we deliver for skating academies.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A WhatsApp Business set-up
A business profile with description, hours, address and a catalogue of batches.
Result: A parent sees a real academy, not a personal number.
Saved replies for common questions
Replies for venue, timing, fee range and equipment in the languages your parents use.
Result: Answers arrive consistently.
A consent and opt-out record
A simple way to record who agreed to updates and who asked to stop.
Result: You message only those who agreed.
Group and broadcast rules
A rule for each batch group, such as announcements only, and who may post.
Result: Groups stay useful.
A trial booking flow
A short exchange that collects child age, venue and preferred batch, then confirms the trial.
Result: Bookings are captured on the chat itself.
Reminder messages
Trial and class reminders sent from the business account with an owner.
Result: Fewer families miss a first session.

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.

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.

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.
