Alteration shops · WhatsApp marketing
Turn the photo on WhatsApp into a priced job with a ready date.
WhatsApp marketing for an alteration shop is using the number customers already message to quote, book and remind. GullySales works on the business profile, the saved replies and the broadcast to past customers, within 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 alteration shops
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The photo is the enquiry”
Customers send a picture of the garment and ask the price. The shop that answers with a figure and a date wins. A business profile with a greeting, a job list and saved replies makes that answer possible even with the master at the machine.
“Personal numbers hide the shop”
A shop that uses the master's own number, finds enquiries mixing with family messages and vanishing. A separate business number, with the hours and the address set, separates trade from home and lets a helper reply.
“Catalogue beats explaining”
A catalogue listing blouse fitting, trouser hemming, zip change and uniform let-out, with a starting price where the shop is willing to give one, answers the first question before it is asked. The helper then answers only what the catalogue leaves open.
“Broadcast carefully or lose the number”
Messaging every past customer at once about a festival offer is tempting. Sent to people who did not agree, it brings blocks and reports. A list of people who gave their number for their job, and a message that is useful, keeps the number safe.
What we do
What we deliver for alteration shops.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A business profile set up properly
Name, address, hours, a short description and a link to the Maps listing on the business number.
Result: A profile that tells a new customer who you are.
Saved replies for the common questions
Replies for price enquiries, ready dates, location and slot availability, in the shop's own words.
Result: A set of replies the helper can send.
A catalogue of jobs
The jobs the shop takes, with photographs and starting prices where the shop chooses to share them.
Result: A catalogue a customer can browse.
Labels for the stage of each customer
Labels such as quoted, booked, ready and collected, so nobody is forgotten.
Result: Each chat carries a label.
A broadcast routine
A short list of when and to whom to send seasonal messages, using only people who gave their number.
Result: A written rule on who is messaged and when.

How it works
From your first message to the first report.
No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
Understand current WhatsApp use
We review how customers currently message you and how consistently, if at all, it is answered.
- 2
Audit common questions
We identify the questions that come up repeatedly, which decide what should be automated first.
- 3
Set up automation and templates
An automated first response and quick reply templates are built for the most common needs.
- 4
Connect to the CRM
Conversations are linked to customer records so context carries over between team members.
- 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.
