Blood testing laboratories · WhatsApp marketing

Take bookings, send reminders and answer rate questions on the app patients already use.

WhatsApp marketing for a blood testing lab uses a business number to take bookings, answer test and rate questions and remind patients who have agreed to hear from you. GullySales sets up the catalogue, the saved replies and the message rules, and keeps to 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 blood testing laboratories

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

  • “The patient already messages the lab”

    Rate questions, report requests and home visit bookings reach labs on WhatsApp whether the lab planned for it or not. A business number with set replies turns that stream of scattered chats into a booking channel the counter can handle.

  • “A personal phone mixes lab and family”

    When the lab number is a staff member's own phone, enquiries vanish when that person is off or leaves. A separate business number, shared by the team, keeps the history with the lab and not with an individual.

  • “Reports on chat need care”

    Sending a report by message is convenient, and it is also the point where privacy goes wrong. Send reports only to the number the patient registered, never to a group, and keep a record of when a report was shared.

  • “Broadcasts spoil what the app is good at”

    Using a list to push promotions to everyone turns a trusted channel into noise and risks a blocked number. Messages work when a patient expects them: a confirmation, a reminder, a report ready note. Check the platform's current rules on messaging.

What we do

What we deliver for blood testing laboratories.

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

  1. A business number and profile

    Setup of a WhatsApp Business account with your lab name, address, opening hours and a catalogue of tests and packages.

    Result: A profile a patient can read before messaging.

  2. Saved replies for the usual questions

    Ready replies for rates, fasting instructions, home collection areas, opening time and report collection.

    Result: A reply set the counter can send in a tap.

  3. A booking message flow

    A short sequence that collects name, test, locality and slot, and ends with a confirmation.

    Result: A booking captured in the register from each chat.

  4. A consent and opt-out process

    A way for patients to agree to reminders at the counter, and to stop them by reply.

    Result: Only consented patients receive reminders.

  5. Report sharing rules

    A written procedure on who sends reports, to which number and how it is logged.

    Result: A rule sheet for everyone who handles chats.

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.

How it works

From your first message to the first report.

No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  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 whatsapp marketing work runs

  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.

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.

Can we send promotions to all our past patients?
Only to those who agreed to receive them, and within the platform's current rules. We advise keeping messages to bookings, reminders and report notices. Advertising rules differ by profession and state, so check with your own adviser.
Is the free business app enough?
For a single counter it is enough, because it gives a profile, a catalogue and saved replies. A paid interface becomes worth considering when several staff must answer from one number.
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.
