Convention hotels · WhatsApp marketing
Answer planners where they already ask, on WhatsApp, with the details they need.
WhatsApp marketing for a convention hotel means using the chat app planners and admins already use to send hall details, quotes and visit confirmations. GullySales sets up a business number, ready replies and a log so no chat enquiry is lost.
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 convention hotels
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Planners ask for floor plans on chat”
A planner on the move asks for the hall plan and capacity in a message. A reply with a short, clear pack the same day keeps the hotel on the list, where a reply that says "will email" does not.
“Personal phones hide the pipeline”
When enquiries sit in a sales manager's own chats, nobody else sees them and they leave with the person. A business number with shared access keeps the thread with the hotel.
“Large files and long messages lose the reader”
A long brochure sent on chat is easy to ignore. A short message, a plan image and a link to the hall page respect the planner's phone and time.
“Consent and platform rules apply”
Messaging people who have not asked to hear from you can get the number restricted. Planners should be asked before being added to any list, and the platform's current rules checked.
What we do
What we deliver for convention hotels.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A business number set-up
A WhatsApp Business profile with hotel name, address, hall list and a catalogue of the halls.
Result: The profile shows the hotel and the halls clearly.
Ready replies for common questions
Saved replies for capacity, layout, parking, rooms and quote requests, each with a link or attachment.
Result: The team answers the common questions with the same correct details.
A hall pack for chat
A short set of images and a one-page summary per hall, sized to open on a phone.
Result: A planner receives a pack that opens without a download.
A chat-to-record routine
A rule that every chat enquiry is logged in the sales record with date, headcount and source.
Result: No enquiry exists only in a chat.
Consent wording for updates
A line asking planners whether they wish to receive offers or reminders, and a list of those who said yes.
Result: Only planners who agreed receive broadcast messages.

Set up automation and templates
An automated first response and quick reply templates are built for the most common needs.

Connect to the CRM
Conversations are linked to customer records so context carries over between team members.

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.
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.
