Gold loan and NBFC lenders · WhatsApp marketing

Remind the borrower about the due date without telling the whole family about the loan.

WhatsApp for a gold loan or NBFC lender carries due-date reminders, renewal offers, document lists and the branch's answers to questions. GullySales sets up the business account, the approved templates and the consent record, worded so a message on a shared phone does not give the borrower away.

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.

For gold loan and NBFC lenders

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

  • “The phone belongs to the household”

    A reminder naming the ornaments and the amount, read by a husband or a mother-in-law, can cost the borrower more than the interest. The message names the branch and the date and stops there.

  • “Fraudsters copy lender messages”

    Borrowers receive fake messages asking them to pay interest to a personal UPI ID. A lender that never asks for payment that way, and tells borrowers so, takes the bait out of the trick.

  • “Branch staff answer from their own phones”

    Borrowers keep the number of the appraiser who helped them. When that person leaves for a rival, the conversation and the next pledge leave too.

What we do

What we deliver for gold loan and NBFC lenders.

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

  1. A business account in the company's registered name

    One official number, or one per region, with the registered name, the head office address and a branch locator link in the profile.

    Result: Borrowers can tell the real lender from an imitation.

  2. Due-date and maturity reminder templates

    Utility templates naming the branch, the date and the ways to pay or renew, with no amount and no ornament detail, approved by compliance.

    Result: The reminder reaches the borrower and nobody else learns the details.

  3. A consent line on the pledge form

    A tick box and a date on the loan application where the borrower agrees to reminders on WhatsApp, with the number written beside it.

    Result: Every message traces back to a borrower who agreed.

  4. Saved replies for the questions branches hear

    Branch timings, documents to carry, how a scheme works and how to make a part payment, in each regional language your branches use.

    Result: Every branch gives the same correct answer.

  5. An anti-fraud note at pledge time

    A standing message stating the only number you message from and that you never ask for payment into a personal account or by UPI to a person.

    Result: Borrowers report a fake message instead of paying it.

  6. Replies routed to the borrower's branch

    Incoming messages assigned to the right branch in counter hours, with a holding reply and a named person outside them.

    Result: A borrower's question reaches someone who can see the loan.

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.

What must be in place first

What a gold loan lender settles before sending its first WhatsApp reminder.

Rules for lenders on customer communication, recovery and data differ by licence and change, so have your compliance officer approve the wording first.

Opt-in recorded at the counter
Add a consent line to the pledge or loan form with the WhatsApp number and the date. A borrower who only rang to ask the rate has agreed to nothing.
A business profile borrowers can trust
Company name as registered, head office address, website and a branch locator link. Tell borrowers in person that this is the only number you message from.
Templates for reminders and renewals
Write the due-date, maturity and renewal messages as templates, with no amounts, ornament details or threats. Submit them for approval and file the approved wording.
Who pays for each message
Messages a business starts are charged by category, and the terms change. Check WhatsApp's current business policy and pricing before planning reminders across all branches.
A way to stop
Every message says how to stop and gives another way to reach the branch. Mark the opt-out in the loan record so no branch messages that borrower again.
A person behind the number
Route replies to the borrower's branch during counter hours. A borrower asking whether the gold is safe needs a person, not an auto-reply.

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. Every step gives you something in writing.

  1. First

    Free audit call

    90 minutes with whoever handles your enquiries: how they arrive, how fast they are answered, where they are lost.

  2. 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.

  3. Before work starts

    Baseline recorded

    Enquiries by source, reply time, conversion and cost per order, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.

  4. After the baseline

    The first fix goes live

    Usually the cheapest one on the report: reply time, a follow-up sequence or the marketing-to-sales handover.

  5. 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.

  6. 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 work runs for gold loan and NBFC lenders

  1. 1

    Assess

    In the free audit we trace how last season's pledges arrived, by branch and by source, and look at how many due dates passed without a call and how many closed borrowers never returned.

  2. 2

    Fix the branch front door

    Maps listings, phone numbers that someone answers, a rate board and a scheme sheet the counter staff use, branch by branch.

  3. 3

    Set the reminder and release routine

    Due-date calls, renewal offers and the after-closure call written down, with who makes each one and what gets recorded.

  4. 4

    Run the seasons

    Campaigns timed to sowing, school fees, harvest and the festival months, with wording your compliance officer approved before the season starts.

  5. 5

    Measure by branch

    Enquiries, new pledges, renewals and returning borrowers counted per branch against the baseline, so the branch that needs help is visible to head office.

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

    Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru. We work across India by call and WhatsApp and travel when a session needs to be in person.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Is the WhatsApp Business app enough, or do we need the API?
The app suits a single branch with a manageable number of borrowers. A network sending reminders from one number needs the API through a provider, with templates approved by WhatsApp. Check WhatsApp's current business policy and pricing before choosing.
Can we add borrowers to a WhatsApp group for offers?
No. A group shows every member's number to the rest, which tells the whole village who has a gold loan. Use one-to-one messages to borrowers who agreed, and keep offers rare.
Our branch staff already chat with borrowers on their own phones. What now?
Move each conversation to the branch or company number when the borrower next visits, and explain why. Ask staff to stop collecting documents or payment details on a personal phone. The branch number stays when people move on.
Should our schemes go in the WhatsApp catalogue?
Only if each item shows the scheme in plain words with the conditions compliance requires. A catalogue card with a headline rate and nothing else is an advertisement missing its terms. A link to the scheme page is the safer choice.
Can we advertise our gold loan amount per gram?
Yes, if the figure is current and its conditions travel with it. The amount per gram moves with the gold price, so a printed hoarding goes stale. Put the live figure on the branch board and in Maps posts, and have your compliance officer approve how rates and charges are shown.
Will your team speak to our borrowers about their loans?
No. We write the reminder wording, set up the call lists and the records, and train your staff. Any conversation about a borrower's loan, the appraisal or the amount stays with your branch team, because the licence and the relationship are yours.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped in the free audit 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 the audit, 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?
Fixes to reply time, follow-up and your Google Business Profile are the quickest to show, because the enquiries already exist. Ads can follow soon after follow-up is in place. SEO and content take longer. How long each takes depends on your business, and the audit tells you which applies to you. Nothing here is guaranteed.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you meet on the audit call. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
