Plumbers · WhatsApp marketing

Let the customer send a photograph of the leak and get a plain reply.

WhatsApp marketing for a plumber is using the chat app households already open to take enquiries, give estimates and stay in touch with past customers. GullySales works on the business profile, the quick replies and the lists that make this manageable.

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 plumbers

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

  • “A photograph tells you more than a call”

    A customer who sends a picture of the fault lets you judge the visit before leaving. It saves a wasted trip and tells the household you are taking the problem seriously.

  • “The chat is where the society talks”

    Residents share plumber numbers in building groups. A clear business profile with your name, areas and hours makes the forwarded number look trustworthy.

  • “Bulk messaging can get a number blocked”

    Sending the same note to a long list without consent risks complaints and account action. Messages go only to people who have dealt with you, and you check the platform's current rules.

  • “One phone, many chats, lost context”

    A plumber answering from a personal phone mixes family, suppliers and customers. Labels, saved replies and a business account keep the enquiry from getting buried.

What we do

What we deliver for plumbers.

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

  1. A WhatsApp Business profile

    Name, description, areas, hours and a catalogue of job types, set up on a business account.

    Result: A new contact sees what you do and where.

  2. Quick replies for the common questions

    Saved answers to price of a visit, areas covered, timing and what to send as a photograph.

    Result: You answer common questions in a tap.

  3. Labels for each stage

    Tags such as new enquiry, visit booked, estimate sent, job done and follow up.

    Result: You can see where every chat stands.

  4. A click-to-chat link and QR

    A link on your listing, site and printed card that opens a chat with a ready first line.

    Result: A customer starts a chat in one tap.

  5. A consent-based reminder list

    A list of past customers who agreed to be messaged, with seasonal notes written for them.

    Result: Reminders reach only people who asked for them.

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.

Who it is for

This is written for these plumbers.

  • Independent plumbers working from a two-wheeler and a toolbag
  • Small plumbing teams of three to six with a helper and a van
  • Bathroom and kitchen fitting specialists
  • Leak detection and concealed pipe repair specialists
  • Drain cleaning and blockage clearing services
  • Water heater, pump and tank connection installers
  • Plumbers on maintenance retainers for apartment societies and landlords
  • Plumbers who take jobs through home-service apps and want direct customers

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.

Your brief

Tell us what you need, and we will read it before we call.

Eight short steps about your business, what you want and who decides. Most questions are a tap, and you can skip any you would rather answer on the call.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Can I use my personal number?
You can, but a business account is cleaner. It gives you a profile, labels and saved replies, and keeps customers apart from family chats.
How do I avoid being reported as spam?
Message only people who have dealt with you, keep notes relevant, and give an easy way to stop. Check the platform's current rules before sending to a list.
Should I send price lists on chat?
Send the visit charge and say what is confirmed after the pipe is seen. A full price list invites comparison before you have seen the fault.
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.
