Beverage manufacturers · WhatsApp marketing

Take orders and answer rate questions where dealers and caterers already talk.

WhatsApp marketing for a beverage maker is using the app for rate cards, order messages and dealer updates with people who have agreed to hear from you. GullySales sets up the catalogue, the replies and the lists, and you check the platform's current rules.

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 beverage manufacturers

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

  • “Dealers place orders in chat, not in forms”

    A wholesaler sends a message listing cases and expects a reply. If the order sits in a salesman's personal phone, nobody else can see it, and the plant does not know what was promised.

  • “A caterer forwards your rate card to the family”

    The decision-maker for a wedding never speaks to you. A clear card with case rates, delivery area and a contact that gets forwarded works for you in a conversation you will never see.

  • “Broadcasting to everyone annoys the people who matter”

    A dealer who gets every festival greeting and every scheme turns off notifications. Separate lists for dealers, caterers and institutions keep each message relevant.

  • “Consent matters on a business number”

    Adding a shopkeeper to a group or a list without asking creates complaints. Ask first, keep a record of who agreed, and check the platform's current rules on business messaging.

What we do

What we deliver for beverage manufacturers.

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

  1. A business profile and catalogue

    Your products, pack sizes and ordering details set out in the business app, with a shared number answered by a named person.

    Result: A profile a dealer can find and message.

  2. Separate contact lists by buyer

    Dealers, retailers, caterers and institutions kept apart, with a record of who agreed to receive messages.

    Result: Lists you can send to without mixing audiences.

  3. Reply templates for common questions

    Answers on rates, minimum order, delivery day and breakage handling, ready to edit and send.

    Result: A set of replies the whole team can use.

  4. An order capture routine

    A way to move chat orders into your order record the same day, with confirmation sent back.

    Result: Each chat order appears in the log with a confirmation.

  5. A scheme announcement format

    A short, clear message for new schemes and stock-outs, with the terms stated in full.

    Result: A format dealers can read at once.

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

From your first message to the first report.

No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.

  1. First

    Your brief

    You tell us what you need in a few short steps: your business, what you want, where enquiries come from and how they are handled.

  2. After the brief

    A conversation and a written scope

    We read it, then talk with whoever handles your enquiries. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come in writing, and nothing starts before you have read them.

  3. Before work starts

    Baseline recorded

    The numbers this work is meant to move, such as enquiries, quotations, orders, visits or renewals, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.

  4. After the baseline

    The first fix goes live

    The fix we agreed to start with is put in place and measured against the baseline, whether that is a reply, a follow-up, a page, a listing or the handover between marketing and sales.

  5. As agreed

    Report against the baseline

    What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words. How often you get it is set in writing before work starts.

  6. At renewal

    Renew on the numbers

    The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. The length is agreed in writing before anything starts.

How the whatsapp marketing work runs

  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.

Why us

Why owners pick GullySales over an agency.

  • Marketing and sales, as one job

    Most agencies stop at the enquiry. We also fix what happens after it: the reply, the follow-up, the quote and the CRM.

  • The person on the first call does the work

    No account managers in between. You are never handed to someone you have not met.

  • A baseline before anything starts

    Your numbers are written down on day one, so every later report compares against something honest.

  • The fee in writing, split three ways

    Our time, your media spend and production on separate lines. You always see what goes to us.

  • No guarantees we cannot keep

    The term is agreed in writing and never a default twelve months. We never promise a ranking or a lead count, because nobody controls those.

  • One office, and we say so

    Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru. We work across India by call and WhatsApp and travel when a session needs to be in person.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Can we send bulk messages to all shopkeepers?
Only to those who agreed, and within the platform's current rules. Check those rules before sending, since they change and can restrict accounts.
Should the plant use one number or several?
One shared business number answered by a named team keeps records together. Salesmen can still use their own phones for personal talks, with orders moved into the log.
Is WhatsApp enough to run dealer communication?
It carries the daily talk well. Terms, credit and complaints still need a record outside the chat, so we pair it with your order log.
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.
