State board schools · WhatsApp marketing
Use the app parents already open to answer admission questions and share school notices.
WhatsApp marketing for a state board school means using a school number to answer enquiries, send admissions notices to parents who asked for them, and share events. GullySales sets up the number, the opt-in wording and the message routine, inside the platform's current rules.
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 state board schools
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Parents ask on WhatsApp before they call”
A father in a village sends a message at night asking about the fee for Class 6. If the reply comes the next afternoon from a teacher's personal number, the school looks careless. A school number with a named person is better.
“A broadcast list is for parents who asked”
Adding a parent without their agreement irritates them and may break the platform's rules. A simple message inviting them to join, and a record of who said yes, protects the school's name.
“Notices in one language reach half the families”
A school with two media needs messages in both. Keep them short, put the date first and attach the printable card for parents who prefer to show it to someone at home.
“A personal number becomes the school's problem”
If the one clerk who handles messages leaves, the contacts leave with the phone. A school-owned number, with more than one person able to open it, keeps the conversations.
What we do
What we deliver for state board schools.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A school WhatsApp number
A number held by the school, with a profile, a greeting and the hours at which the office replies.
Result: The parent sees the school's name, not a clerk's.
Opt-in wording
A short message and a form line by which parents agree to receive admissions notices and events.
Result: Each person on the list has a recorded yes.
Reply templates
Ready answers for the standing questions about fees headings, documents, timings and visits, in both languages.
Result: The person on duty can reply by typing, not drafting.
An admissions notice routine
A format for announcing dates, the documents list and the open morning.
Result: Every notice says what, when, where and whom to contact.
An opt-out and privacy habit
A simple way for a parent to leave the list, and a rule for keeping the numbers safe.
Result: A parent who asks to stop is removed the same day.

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.
