WhatsApp marketing for a tourist guide is the use of WhatsApp Business to take enquiries, send the meeting point and ask for the review. GullySales sets up the account, the saved replies and the booking flow for the way you work.

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 tourist guide services

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

  • “WhatsApp is the booking desk”

    The traveller finds your profile, taps the button and the conversation starts. If the thread answers the fee, the meeting point and the start time, the booking is complete before you have spoken.

  • “A personal number mixes work and family”

    Tours, family messages and old forwards share one inbox, and a booking is missed in the noise. A separate Business account keeps the traveller's message visible and lets you set hours and an away message.

  • “Foreign travellers use it too”

    Foreign visitors already use WhatsApp at home. A saved reply in their language and a clear fee make the first message feel safe, and they book without needing a local number or a call.

  • “Broadcasts need permission”

    A message to everyone in your contacts irritates people who did not ask for it. Send updates only to those who agreed, and check the platform's current rules before sending anything in bulk.

What we do

What we deliver for tourist guide services.

Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.

  1. A WhatsApp Business account set up properly

    Business name, description, hours, away message and a catalogue of your walks.

    Result: A traveller who opens your chat sees a business, not a stranger.

  2. Saved replies for the common questions

    Quick replies for fee, languages, duration, meeting point and what to bring.

    Result: A common question is answered in a tap.

  3. A booking message that collects the details

    A template asking the date, group size, language and ages, so a quote follows without back and forth.

    Result: Each booking begins with the details needed.

  4. Labels for each stage of a booking

    Labels such as new, quoted, confirmed and done, so the chat list works as a record.

    Result: You can see what needs a reply at a glance.

  5. A permission-based update list

    A list of past guests who agreed to hear about festival walks or new tours.

    Result: Updates reach only people who asked for them.

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 WhatsApp Business free?
The app is free to use for a small business. Paid features exist for larger accounts, and we do not recommend them until you outgrow the app.
Can we send tour reminders on WhatsApp?
A reminder to someone who has booked is ordinary service. Keep it short, include the meeting point and the time, and check the platform's current rules on message types.
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.
