Flight booking agencies · WhatsApp marketing

Turn the WhatsApp inbox into the place where fares are asked and tickets are booked.

WhatsApp marketing for a flight booking agency is using the channel where travellers already ask for fares to reply clearly, keep a record and bring flyers back. GullySales works on the business profile, the reply set-up and permission-based lists.

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 flight booking agencies

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

  • “The traveller chose WhatsApp to avoid a call”

    A message lets the flyer ask at midnight, forward a passport name and compare options on their own time. An agency that replies in a voice note or a late call loses the reason they used the channel.

  • “A personal number cannot carry the business”

    Bookings that live on a staff handset disappear when the person leaves. A business number with a profile, a catalogue of journeys and labels for each enquiry keeps the work with the agency.

  • “Broadcasts without permission damage the number”

    Sending festival offers to every contact drives blocks and reports. A list of flyers who agreed to hear from you, with a clear way to stop, protects the number and the relationship.

  • “A long chat hides the booking”

    Names, dates, payments and changes get buried in one thread. Labels, a fixed fare format and a written confirmation turn a messy chat into a record you can find later.

What we do

What we deliver for flight booking agencies.

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 set up

    Name, description, hours, address and a short catalogue of the journeys you handle, with an away message for closed hours.

    Result: A new contact sees a business, not a stranger.

  2. Quick replies for common questions

    Saved answers for fares, documents, baggage questions and changes, with the fee shown in view.

    Result: Staff reply in a consistent way.

  3. Labels for each stage of an enquiry

    Tags such as new, quoted, awaiting payment and ticketed, set so the inbox shows where each traveller stands.

    Result: You see every open enquiry at a glance.

  4. A permission-based broadcast list

    Past flyers asked to opt in, with a first message that says what they will receive and how to stop.

    Result: You message only people who agreed.

  5. A confirmation message format

    A written summary of names, sector, date, fare and fee sent after each booking.

    Result: Each ticket has a record both sides can read.

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.

Can we send offers to everyone in our contacts?
Not safely. Message those who agreed to hear from you, and check the platform's current rules on business messaging before any broadcast.
Should staff use their own numbers?
Use a business number and the Business app, so conversations stay with the agency. Staff can answer from it without handing over their personal chats.
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.
