Electroplating companies · WhatsApp marketing

Use WhatsApp to take drawings, send test records and confirm every lot.

WhatsApp marketing for a plating house means using the app buyers already open to receive drawings, answer questions and share records. GullySales sets up WhatsApp Business and the message routine around it, within 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 electroplating companies

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

  • “The drawing arrives as a photograph”

    A unit owner snaps a drawing or a sample part and sends it. If the photo lands on one person's phone, it is lost when that person is away. A shared business number with a saved reply keeps the enquiry visible to the team.

  • “Test records are easy to share, and easy to misplace”

    Sending a thickness report as a file on WhatsApp costs the buyer no effort. Keep the sent files in your own folder as well, with the lot number in the name, so a later query can be answered without searching a phone.

  • “A chat is not an order”

    A message saying go ahead can mean several different things. Confirm the finish, quantity, thickness and delivery in writing in the chat, and ask the buyer to reply with agreement. That message becomes the record if a doubt arises.

  • “Messages to a broad list annoy engineers”

    A quality head who receives a general broadcast about your plating services will mute you. Send updates only to people who have asked, and keep them relevant, such as a new finish or a change to your collection schedule.

What we do

What we deliver for electroplating companies.

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

  1. WhatsApp Business profile

    Business name, description, location, catalogue of finishes and a link to the enquiry page.

    Result: A buyer messaging you sees a proper plating business.

  2. Saved replies for common questions

    Saved answers on finishes offered, what to send for a quote and how a trial lot works.

    Result: The team answers consistently and without retyping.

  3. Enquiry capture routine

    A way to move each chat enquiry into your register with the drawing attached.

    Result: No enquiry stays only on one phone.

  4. Lot confirmation message

    A standard message that restates finish, quantity and delivery and asks for a reply.

    Result: Every lot has a written agreement in the chat.

  5. Opt-in broadcast list

    A list of buyers who agreed to receive updates, with a simple way to leave.

    Result: You message only people who want to hear from you.

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.

Your brief

Tell us what you need, and we will read it before we call.

Eight short steps about your business, what you want and who decides. Most questions are a tap, and you can skip any you would rather answer on the call.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Can we send test reports on WhatsApp?
Yes, if the buyer is content with it. Also keep a copy in your records. Check the platform's current rules for business messaging before you send updates in bulk.
Should the owner's personal number be the contact?
No. Use a business number shared by the team, so that enquiries are not lost when one person changes role or phone.
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.
