Natural stone manufacturers · WhatsApp marketing

Answer the contractor's size and rate in one message, with the photograph attached.

WhatsApp marketing for a natural stone manufacturer is the use of WhatsApp Business to send stock lists, photographs, sample updates and quotations to architects, contractors and dealers who already work through the phone. GullySales works on the catalogue, the message routines and the consent behind the list.

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 natural stone manufacturers

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

  • “Contractors ask for a photograph, a size and a rate”

    A garden contractor on site will not open a brochure. A reply with a daylight photograph, the available sizes and a rate answers the question in the same chat the question arrived in.

  • “Architects send site photographs back”

    A designer who receives a sample replies on WhatsApp with a picture of the stone on site. A chat that is logged and not buried keeps that evidence attached to the project.

  • “Broadcast lists need permission”

    A list of contractors is useful only if they agreed to be on it. Sending stock updates to people who never asked damages the relationship, and platform rules apply, so check the platform's current rules.

  • “Personal numbers leave when salespeople do”

    A project history held in one person's personal chat goes with them. A business number with a shared catalogue and named handlers keeps the conversation with the company.

What we do

What we deliver for natural stone manufacturers.

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

  1. A WhatsApp Business catalogue of stones

    Each stone and finish listed with a photograph, sizes and use, ready to send in a single message.

    Result: A stone can be sent in seconds from the catalogue.

  2. Quick replies for common questions

    Saved replies for thickness, sizes, sample requests and small orders, written in plain language.

    Result: The team answers repeat questions the same way.

  3. A consented contact list

    A list of contractors, dealers and designers who agreed to receive updates, with the date of consent.

    Result: You can show who agreed to hear from you.

  4. A sample update routine

    Messages telling a recipient that a box has been sent and a call will follow, plus a prompt for a site photograph.

    Result: Each recipient knows what is coming and what to send back.

  5. A rule for logging chats to the record

    A short step for copying decisions, quantities and rates from chats into the project record.

    Result: The chat and the record agree.

  6. Opt-out handling

    A clear way for a contact to stop receiving updates and a note in the record when they do.

    Result: Anyone who asks to stop is removed.

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 stock updates to a broadcast list?
Yes, to people who agreed to receive them. Check the platform's current rules on business messaging, and we keep the consent record.
Should the whole sales team use one number?
A shared business number with named handlers suits a team better than personal phones. It keeps the history with the company.
Can WhatsApp replace the website?
No. The website holds the stone pages and the sheets, and WhatsApp is where the buyer follows up. We connect each to the other.
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.
