Personal care brands · WhatsApp marketing
Answer the chemist, the salon owner and the reorder on the app they already use.
WhatsApp marketing for a personal care brand means a business number, a product catalogue and saved replies that take trade orders, answer shoppers' questions about ingredients and remind repeat buyers. GullySales sets up the account, the catalogue and the message flows, and works within the platform's current rules on consent and templates.
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 personal care brands
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Trade orders arrive as voice notes and photographs”
A chemist sends a picture of the empty shelf and a voice note asking for more. Without a fixed format, the order is typed from memory, a line is missed and the shop receives the wrong shampoo.
“The shopper's first question is whether it is safe”
Before buying, the buyer messages to ask if the oil suits a sensitive scalp or whether the soap is fine for a baby. The answer must come straight from the label and the test file, and must never be improvised by whoever is online.
“The rep's personal number is the channel”
Outlets save the rep's number, not the brand's. When the rep leaves, the chat history and the relationship leave too, and the brand has to start again with every chemist and salon in the district that the rep covered.
“A broadcast goes to people who never asked”
A list copied from a trade fair and a message about the festive pack makes the recipient mark the number as spam. Consent is recorded at the point of contact, or the number is not messaged.
What we do
What we deliver for personal care brands.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A verified business account with a catalogue built from the label
Each product listed with its size, ingredients, use and price, so a chemist or shopper can check the details without waiting for a person.
Result: The catalogue answers the common question without a call.
Saved replies for the questions you get most
Short, label-true answers on ingredients, skin type, pack size and how to order, each reviewed against your test reports and your adviser's advice.
Result: Whoever answers says the same thing.
An order format for trade buyers
A simple structure for outlet name, products and quantity, with a confirmation message that repeats the order back.
Result: The order the outlet sees confirmed is the order that ships.
A consent list kept by source
Each number is recorded with where and when the person agreed to hear from you, and with a one-word opt-out.
Result: You can show why every number is on the list.
A replenishment and festive-pack message set
Templates for repeat buyers and outlets, sent only to those on the consent list and written to follow the platform's current rules.
Result: Messages reach buyers who asked for them.
A shared inbox with a named owner for each chat
Trade chats, shopper questions and complaints are routed to different people, and every chat carries the outlet or order it belongs to.
Result: A change of rep does not lose a conversation.

How it works
From your first message to the first report.
No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
Understand current WhatsApp use
We review how customers currently message you and how consistently, if at all, it is answered.
- 2
Audit common questions
We identify the questions that come up repeatedly, which decide what should be automated first.
- 3
Set up automation and templates
An automated first response and quick reply templates are built for the most common needs.
- 4
Connect to the CRM
Conversations are linked to customer records so context carries over between team members.
- 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.
