Shoe repair shops · WhatsApp marketing
Answer a photo with a verdict, and the pair is yours to repair.
WhatsApp marketing for a shoe repair shop is the use of the Business app to receive photos, give honest quotes and message customers who agreed to hear from you. GullySales works on the profile, the replies and the permission behind every message.
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 shoe repair shops
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The photograph is the first visit”
A customer sends two pictures of a torn strap or a split sole before leaving home. The reply decides whether they walk to you or to the next shop, so a prompt, honest answer is the first sale.
“A list of repairs answers the first question”
Opening messages ask what you can mend. A catalogue inside the app, naming each repair with a photograph, answers before a staff member has to type.
“A broadcast without permission loses the number”
Sending offers to everyone in the phone book gets the business muted or blocked. A message to people who asked for it, naming their own item, keeps the number trusted.
“The batch buyer wants it in writing”
An admin person cannot act on a voice note. A written rate, a named collection day and a confirmed list of items let the office approve the work and pay the bill.
What we do
What we deliver for shoe repair shops.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A Business profile that explains the shop
Name, address, hours, a short description and the link to the Maps listing, set up on the Business app.
Result: A new contact sees a real shop.
Quick replies for the common questions
Saved answers for hours, location, the repairs taken and the photographs to send.
Result: Staff reply the same way every time.
A photo-quote script
A short exchange that asks for two pictures, names the fault, gives an honest view and states the next step.
Result: Each photo gets a clear verdict.
A catalogue of repairs
Each repair listed with a picture and a line, so a customer can browse before asking.
Result: The first question is answered by the app.
Labels for the stage of each enquiry
Labels such as new, quoted, in work, ready and collected, matching the register.
Result: You can see every open conversation at a glance.
A way to ask permission at the counter
A line on the token and a spoken sentence asking if you may message the customer about the pair.
Result: The list holds only people who agreed.

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.
