Farm stays · WhatsApp marketing

Run bookings on the app every family already uses, with answers ready.

WhatsApp marketing for a farm stay is using WhatsApp Business to answer enquiries, send quotes and directions, confirm bookings and invite past guests back. GullySales works on the profile, the saved replies and the lists, all with the guest's permission.

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 farm stays

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

  • “The family messages before they call”

    A parent sends a message asking about the rate and the pond. A reply with a photo, a price and a safety note books the stay. A reply that says please call lost the evening.

  • “Signal is weak in the fields”

    The host is standing in the orchard with one bar. Messages queue and replies go late, so the saved answers and the covering person matter more than the speed of the phone.

  • “Groups travel by forwarded message”

    A trekking club passes the farm's number from one chat to the next. A clear description, rates and a photo set sent as one message travels well; a long voice note does not.

  • “Broadcast lists can turn into spam”

    Sending the harvest offer to every number in the phone, including people who never agreed, gets the farm blocked and reported. A consented list is smaller and works better.

What we do

What we deliver for farm stays.

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 that explains the farm

    Name, address, hours, a short description and the catalogue of stays and day visits.

    Result: A guest opening the chat sees what the farm offers.

  2. Saved replies for the common questions

    Rate, dates, food, safety, directions and what to bring, each written once and ready to send.

    Result: Common questions are answered in one tap.

  3. A quote and confirmation template

    A short message with dates, head count, rate, advance and cancellation terms, sent in the same shape every time.

    Result: Every quote reads the same and nothing is missed.

  4. A consented list for harvest invitations

    Past guests who agreed to hear from the farm, grouped by interest such as families, schools or produce.

    Result: Invitations go only to people who said yes.

  5. A covering rota and handover note

    Who answers which hours, and what is passed to the host, written down for the family and farmhands.

    Result: The chat is not left to one person with one bar.

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.

Is WhatsApp Business free for a farm?
The app is free to download and use for small businesses. Some features and sending to large lists may carry charges, so check the platform's current rules and pricing before you plan campaigns.
Can we add past guests to a broadcast list?
Only those who agreed to hear from the farm. Ask at checkout, record the answer and let anyone leave when they wish. Messaging people who did not agree harms the number and the farm's name.
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.
