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 budget hotels

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

  • “The guest wants the pin, not directions in words”

    A traveller at a station at night wants a location they can tap into a map. A chat that sends the pin, one photograph and the rate settles the booking.

  • “Replies differ from shift to shift”

    One receptionist quotes the app price and another a higher desk price. A set of saved replies makes the hotel sound the same at every hour.

  • “Broadcasting to everyone turns guests off”

    A message to the whole contact list about an offer they do not need reads as spam. Sending a market-day note to traders only, and an exam note to coaching contacts only, keeps it welcome.

  • “Personal numbers hide the hotel's history”

    If the owner answers from a personal phone, the chats leave with them. A business number keeps the history with the hotel and lets any receptionist reply.

What we do

What we deliver for budget hotels.

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, address, hours, a short description and the catalogue of room types filled in.

    Result: The profile opens on a guest's phone with rooms and rates visible.

  2. A saved reply set

    Ready replies for rate, location pin, check-in, ID, parking and cancellation.

    Result: A new receptionist uses the same words as the owner.

  3. Segment lists for broadcasts

    Separate lists for traders, hospital families, exam contacts and organisers, with consent noted.

    Result: Each message goes only to the list it is meant for.

  4. A booking confirmation message

    A confirmation that repeats the date, rate, room and arrival instructions.

    Result: The guest holds a written confirmation of what was agreed.

  5. A chat-to-register habit

    Each new chat noted in the enquiry register with its outcome.

    Result: Every WhatsApp enquiry appears in the register.

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

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. 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.

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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need
Is a broadcast allowed to everyone?
Send only to people who have agreed to hear from you, and check the platform's current rules. A small, welcome list serves you better than a large ignored one.
Do we need an official API account?
Not to begin. The business app covers a small hotel's chats. We look at the API only if volume grows beyond what the desk can handle.
What about guests who prefer a call?
Keep the phone answered. WhatsApp adds a route for guests who write, and does not replace the voice call.
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.
