Aesthetic, hair and cosmetic clinics · WhatsApp marketing

Use WhatsApp to answer patients in private, not to broadcast offers to a list.

WhatsApp marketing for an aesthetic clinic is the use of WhatsApp for the first reply, the consultation booking, the written plan and the reminders, within the platform's rules. Patients exploring a cosmetic treatment prefer a private chat to a phone call. GullySales sets up the business number, the message flows and the handover to your counsellors.

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 aesthetic, hair and cosmetic clinics

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

“The first reply is where the patient decides to stay”
A person who messaged three clinics talks to the one that answers with a clear reply about the treatment, the doctor and how to book. A greeting that asks nothing and says nothing loses to a message that does both.
“Patients share photographs and keep the chat”
A skin or hair patient may send a photograph before the visit. That image is health information. The clinic needs a policy on who sees it, where it is stored and how it is deleted, and should never forward it to another patient or a group.
“A written plan travels well on chat”
A treatment plan, the total and the EMI terms sent after the consultation can be read again at home and shown to a spouse. This is where WhatsApp helps close a sale, because the patient decides away from the clinic.
“Broadcast lists wear out the relationship”
Sending the same offer to every contact trains patients to ignore or block the clinic. Messages that relate to the patient's own treatment keep the number trusted for the messages that matter, such as reminders.

What we do

What we deliver for aesthetic, hair and cosmetic clinics.

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

Business number and profile setup
A WhatsApp Business profile, or the API route where you need several agents on one number, with your clinic name, address, hours and a catalogue of treatments described in neutral terms.
Result: A patient sees a clinic profile that looks real and answers basic questions.
First-reply and booking flow
A short opening message that asks which treatment the patient is exploring, then moves to a consultation slot with the doctor or counsellor.
Result: Each new chat reaches a person with the treatment already named.
Plan and EMI message templates
Templates for sending the written plan, the total and the EMI terms in plain numbers after the consultation.
Result: Counsellors send consistent, checked wording.
Reminder and missed-session messages
Approved templates for appointment reminders and for a gentle message after a missed session.
Result: Reminders leave from a clinic number the patient recognises.
Consent and privacy rules for chat
A written rule for opt-in, photographs, who may open a chat, and what is never sent on chat.
Result: Staff know what to do with a photograph on the number.

What to capture or send

The messages an aesthetic clinic plans for private conversation with patients.

First reply to a rate query: A message sent as soon as a counsellor sees the query: greeting, name of the doctor and an invitation to a consultation. A price without a consultation misleads.
Written plan after consultation: A message with the plan, the number of sittings and the EMI terms, so the patient can show a spouse. Keep wording plain and check it against the signed plan.
Appointment and session reminder: A short message naming the clinic and time, avoiding the treatment name. A shared phone should not reveal what the patient is having done.
Missed session note: A kind message after a missed session asking if another day would suit. It records the reason, and the counsellor reads it before calling.
Consent and opt-out record: Capture agreement to messages and the date. A patient who asks to stop is removed from the list at once, and the request is kept on file.

Not for

The clinic has one shared phone and no business account, so chats would be lost when a staff member leaves.

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
Read the chats you already have
We read how customers write to you, which questions repeat and where a chat goes quiet. The repeated questions decide what gets automated first.
2
Sort the list and the permission
Contacts who asked to hear from you are separated from numbers that only sit in a phone book. We agree the wording new contacts will see before they say yes.
3
Choose the app or the API
One phone and a small team can stay on the ordinary app. Several people on one number, templates or a CRM link need the API through a provider, which is its own piece of setup work.
4
Write the replies and the plan
The greeting, away message, saved replies and handover rule are written in your words and approved by you. The message plan and its templates follow.
5
Connect the record and test
Each link carries its source line and each chat lands in the CRM. We test on real phones, including a customer who asks for a person.
6
Read the unanswered questions
A question the first reply could not answer becomes a new saved reply or a fixed handover. Stop requests are watched too, with the number's quality rating where the API is used, since both show a message plan that has gone too far.

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.

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.
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.
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.

Tell us what you need

Do we need the WhatsApp Business API?

A single counsellor can start with the WhatsApp Business app. Several agents sharing a number, automated reminders and CRM links need the API through a provider. Check the platform's current rules and the provider's terms before deciding.

Can we send promotional offers to old patients?

Only to people who agreed to hear from you, and with content that follows medical advertising rules, which differ by profession and state. Check your wording with your own council or adviser, and honour every request to stop.

Should the chat be handled by a bot?

A bot can collect the treatment of interest and book a slot. Anything about suitability, risk or price for a particular patient should pass to a person promptly, because this is a personal, self-paid decision.

May patients send photographs of their skin or scalp on WhatsApp?

Ask patients not to, and invite them to book a consultation instead. A photograph does not replace an examination, and images of this kind are sensitive health data. Rules on handling patient information differ, so agree a clear policy with your adviser and the doctor.

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.
