Footwear manufacturers · WhatsApp marketing

Use WhatsApp to send the catalogue, the rate and the new range to traders who asked for it.

WhatsApp marketing for a footwear factory is the use of the app that traders already use for rates, photographs and orders. GullySales sets up a business profile, a catalogue, message wording and consent-based lists, so that the range reaches the right traders.

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 footwear manufacturers

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

  • “The trader already lives on WhatsApp”

    Wholesalers ask for a photograph, a rate and a colour over the same chat they use with suppliers and retailers. A factory that answers with a clean article card does better than one that sends a long PDF with no names.

  • “Broadcasting to everyone annoys the right people”

    A new range sent to every contact in the phone reaches retail friends and the traders who bought a different article. Lists sorted by buyer type and article keep the message relevant.

  • “Consent matters”

    Add a trader to a list only after they have agreed. Check the platform's current rules on business messaging and on promotional broadcasts, and keep the record of who agreed.

  • “Chats get lost in personal phones”

    If the salesman holds the conversation on a personal number, the factory loses it when the salesman moves on. A business profile with shared access keeps the history with the firm.

What we do

What we deliver for footwear manufacturers.

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

  1. Business profile set-up

    Name, description, address, catalogue and working hours set up on a business account.

    Result: A trader sees the factory's identity and range at once.

  2. Article card templates

    A layout with photograph, article name, sole, size run, colours and carton quantity for sending in chats.

    Result: Every article is sent in the same clear format.

  3. Segmented trader lists

    Lists sorted by buyer type, city and articles bought, built only from traders who agreed to receive messages.

    Result: A range message goes to the traders who bought that kind.

  4. Message wording for the sales team

    Replies for first enquiry, sample offer, quote, range launch and order confirmation.

    Result: Staff reply in a consistent voice.

  5. Chat-to-CRM routine

    A step for logging important chats in the shared record the same day.

    Result: No order conversation lives only on a phone.

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.

Tell us what you need
Is a WhatsApp Business account enough?
For a small factory, yes. A larger team may need the platform's business tools. Check what the current plans allow and cost. We recommend the lighter option that covers your volume.
Can we send the whole catalogue?
Send the article the trader asked about first, with a link to the full catalogue. A large file with no names is difficult to read on a phone and difficult to forward.
How do we avoid being marked as spam?
Message only traders who agreed, keep the content relevant to what they bought, and give an easy way to stop. Check the platform's current rules before sending range announcements in bulk.
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.
