Home healthcare agencies · WhatsApp marketing

Give the family one thread for the plan, the nurse and the questions.

WhatsApp marketing for a home healthcare agency means using the app families already open to answer enquiries, send plans and keep relatives informed. GullySales works on the business account set-up, the message templates and the rules that keep the thread orderly and private.

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.

Last updated 18 Oct 2026. Rules for this trade differ by state and professional body, and they change. We describe restrictions in general terms, so check the current position with your own council or adviser before you publish anything.

For home healthcare agencies

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

  • “The family is already on WhatsApp and so is the nurse”

    A patient's daughter asks a question at night and the nurse answers from a personal number. The reply is good, but it lives on one phone, and the agency has no record. Move that chat into a shared business account.

  • “Separate threads confuse the relatives”

    The physiotherapist messages one son, the nurse messages another, and the doctor calls a third. Nobody sees the whole picture. One group or thread for the plan, with named staff, fixes this.

  • “Patient privacy needs a rule, not a hope”

    Photos of wounds and scans travel easily on chat. Decide what staff may send, what the family may send and where the images are kept, and tell the family at the start.

What we do

What we deliver for home healthcare agencies.

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

  1. Business account set-up

    A WhatsApp Business account with your name, a description of services and the clinical lead's desk as contact.

    Result: Families see a verified-looking business profile and not a personal number.

  2. Quick replies for common questions

    Saved replies for services, areas covered, assessment visits and how to share documents.

    Result: Staff answer in the same plain way every time.

  3. Plan update format

    A fixed layout for nurse, physio and doctor updates, so a relative abroad can follow progress in one thread.

    Result: Updates look the same whoever sends them.

  4. Opt-in and message rules

    A simple way to record that a family agreed to hear from you, and a rule against bulk messages to people who did not.

    Result: Only people who agreed receive your messages.

  5. Handover from chat to record

    A routine to copy plan details from chat into your CRM at the end of each conversation.

    Result: Nothing agreed on chat is lost.

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 broadcast messages to old patients?
Only to people who agreed to receive them, and only about things they would expect, such as a chronic care check offer. Check the platform's current rules and your adviser's guidance before any bulk sending.
Should nurses use their own phones?
Prefer a business number or a shared device for family chats. A personal phone mixes private and work messages and leaves the agency with no record when staff change.
Is sharing patient photos on WhatsApp allowed?
Rules on health data and images differ by profession and state. Check with your own council or adviser, tell the family what will be shared, and keep images out of public groups.
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.
