Paint and coating manufacturers · WhatsApp marketing

Use WhatsApp where painters, dealers and plant buyers already place their orders.

WhatsApp marketing for a paint or coating manufacturer means using the channel where shade codes, litre counts and site photographs already travel between painter, dealer and brand. GullySales sets up the groups, catalogue and message habits, and keeps them clear of spam.

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 paint and coating manufacturers

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

  • “The order already arrives on WhatsApp”

    A painter sends the dealer a shade code and a quantity in a message. The brand that makes that message easy, with a code list and a product card, is the one that gets typed.

  • “A painter group needs a reason to stay”

    A group that only carries offers is muted by painters sooner than the owner notices. One that shares finished work, application tips and shade answers keeps painters reading and replying. Keep the group small enough that a painter's site photograph is not buried under greetings and forwards.

  • “Industrial buyers want documents, not banners”

    A plant engineer wants a data sheet sent as a file, a quick answer from a technical person and a named contact. A broadcast poster adds nothing for that buyer, and a crowded group makes a serious query look out of place.

What we do

What we deliver for paint and coating manufacturers.

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

  1. Business account set-up

    A business profile with catalogue, greeting, away message and labels for dealers, painters and plants.

    Result: A new contact is sorted into the right label from the first message.

  2. Painter network group

    A group with posting rules, a welcome message and a routine of site photographs and tips.

    Result: Painters know what the group is for and what is not allowed.

  3. Product and shade cards

    Shareable cards for each product with surface, coats and a shade-code list.

    Result: A dealer can forward a card instead of typing an explanation.

  4. Dealer broadcast list

    A consent-based list for offers, stock news and festive boards.

    Result: Only dealers who agreed to receive messages are on it.

  5. Technical reply routine

    A route for passing complaints and technical questions to your team with batch numbers.

    Result: A question sent on chat reaches the right person with the batch noted.

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 message every dealer and painter we know?
Only those who have agreed to hear from you. Keep the list based on consent, and check the platform's current rules for business messaging before any broadcast.
Should we use the WhatsApp Business API?
It suits larger volumes and automated replies. A smaller maker may be well served by the Business app. We recommend after seeing how many messages your team handles.
Who answers technical questions on chat?
A named person from your technical or sales team. We set the route and the labels so a complaint arrives with the batch number and the sender's town, and the person who answers is known to the sender.
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.
