Cooperative banks · WhatsApp marketing

Reach members where they already read, and send the document list before the visit.

WhatsApp marketing for a cooperative bank is using a business number to answer scheme questions, send document lists and announce branch events to members who have agreed to hear from the bank. GullySales sets the number up, writes the replies and keeps the messages inside the bank's approved wording.

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 cooperative banks

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

  • “Members already forward notices to each other”

    A trader's association group or a housing society group passes on a scheme note faster than a notice board ever could. A clear, approved message the member can forward is worth more than a banner nobody reads.

  • “A document list sent in advance saves a trip”

    The gold loan applicant who arrives without the right papers goes home and returns. A message listing identity proof, address proof and the item to pledge, sent after the first call, saves the visit.

  • “Consent comes before broadcast”

    A bank sends messages only to people who have agreed to receive them. A member's number taken for a passbook is not permission for a promotion. Collect consent at the counter, write it down and honour a request to stop.

  • “The business number is a service desk too”

    Once a bank has a WhatsApp number, members use it for everything, including account questions. Someone must own replies and know which questions move to a call, since account details do not belong in a chat.

What we do

What we deliver for cooperative banks.

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

  1. A business number set up for the branch or the bank

    A verified business profile with the bank's name, timings, address and a short description, using the platform's business tools.

    Result: Members see a recognisable bank profile.

  2. Saved replies for common questions

    Replies for timings, the document list for each loan, locker enquiries and the mobile banking help day, in English and the local language.

    Result: Staff answer common questions with approved wording.

  3. A consent step at the counter

    A line on the account or enquiry form asking whether the member agrees to messages, with the answer recorded.

    Result: The bank can show who agreed to be messaged.

  4. A broadcast routine for events and schemes

    Short messages to consenting members about help days, the general body meeting or a new scheme, approved before sending.

    Result: Members hear of events from the bank itself.

  5. A rule for what never goes in a chat

    A written list: no account numbers, balances, OTPs or identity documents in a message, with a prompt to call the branch.

    Result: Staff know where the line is.

How it works

How the whatsapp marketing work runs

The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.

  1. 1

    Understand current WhatsApp use

    We review how customers currently message you and how consistently, if at all, it is answered.

  2. 2

    Audit common questions

    We identify the questions that come up repeatedly, which decide what should be automated first.

  3. 3

    Set up automation and templates

    An automated first response and quick reply templates are built for the most common needs.

  4. 4

    Connect to the CRM

    Conversations are linked to customer records so context carries over between team members.

  5. 5

    Measure and optimise

    We track response time and conversion, refining automated responses based on what customers actually ask.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 0, foundation. The audit comes before it, and sales management keeps it running.

  1. Step 1

    Sales audit

    Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.

    Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.

  2. Step 2 · you are here

    Sales process design

    One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.

    Start here if every salesperson sells differently.

  3. Step 3

    Sales management

    A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.

    Start here if the team has targets and no routine.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need
Can we message all our members at once?
Only those who have agreed, and only with content your compliance officer approves. Check the platform's current rules on business messaging and the bank's own policy before the first broadcast.
Do we need the official business API?
Not for a single branch. The business app is enough to start, with saved replies and labels. The API makes sense when several staff share a number, and that is a later decision.
What if a member sends an account query?
The reply asks them to call the branch or visit, and does not discuss balances or documents in the chat. We write that reply for your staff.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, 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 we have spoken, 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.
How soon will we see results?
It depends on the trade, the channel and what is already in place. After we have read your brief and spoken to you, we say what we would expect to move first and how it will be measured against the baseline. Nothing here is guaranteed.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
Your brief, and a conversation. After that, access to whatever this work touches, such as your website, your accounts or your enquiry record, and time with the people who handle your enquiries.
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.
