Furniture manufacturers · WhatsApp marketing

Your dealers already order on WhatsApp, so stop pretending the email matters.

WhatsApp is where a furniture dealer asks a rate, sends a photograph of a damaged panel and places his reorder. Used badly it turns into the same sofa posted three times a day. GullySales sets up the business catalogue, the dealer broadcast worth reading, and the rule that a chat order is still written into the system.

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 furniture manufacturers

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

  • “The catalogue belongs in the business account, not in a PDF”

    A dealer asking the rate on the two-seater wants the model, the finish and the price in the chat. A forty-page PDF sent to a phone is opened once and never again.

  • “A broadcast earns its place when it carries a rate or a dispatch”

    Dealers read a price revision, a new model with its landed rate, and the lorry number for their own consignment. They mute a showroom photograph posted every morning.

  • “An order in a chat is not an order until it is written down”

    A message saying send four more in walnut ends as a dispute over finish and quantity. Confirm it back with the model code, then enter it in the system the same day.

What we do

What we deliver for furniture 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 profile with the range as a catalogue

    Products loaded with model codes, finishes and price bands, so a dealer or buyer can be sent an item instead of a document.

    Result: A price question is answered in one message.

  2. Dealer broadcast lists split by territory and category

    Separate lists for dealers who stock kitchens, office seating or outdoor furniture, so a message only reaches the people it concerns.

    Result: Your messages stay read instead of muted.

  3. A consent record for every number

    A note of how each dealer, designer or customer number was collected, what they agreed to receive, and a plain way to opt out.

    Result: You are not broadcasting to numbers copied off invoices.

  4. Written confirmation for every chat order

    A standard reply confirming model code, finish, quantity and expected dispatch, sent before the order reaches production.

    Result: A finish dispute ends with a message both sides can read.

  5. Dispatch updates sent to the dealer who ordered

    Lorry details, expected arrival and a photograph of the loaded consignment sent as it leaves the factory.

    Result: He stops ringing the factory to ask where his goods are.

  6. One business number with a named person answering

    A single number the company owns for dealers and buyers, with an owner on each shift rather than a rep's personal phone.

    Result: A dealer's conversation does not leave when the rep does.

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.

What must be in place first

Settle these before dealers are moved onto WhatsApp.

A dealer agreement that names the channel
Add a clause or onboarding line naming the number and its use: rates, dispatch and orders. Record each dealer's yes by territory.
Order status words defined once
Define what confirmed, in production and dispatched mean, and use the same words in chat and in the order system. Dealers repeat your words to their own customers.
A catalogue that answers the material question
Add board type, finish, hardware brand and size options to each item, since a dealer's first question is material. Photograph the same piece in the same light.
Templates for dispatch updates
A dispatch message you start after the dealer's last chat may need an approved template. Check WhatsApp's current business policy and pricing before promising a message at every stage.
Rates by dealer tier
Keep tiers on separate lists and never post a rate in a group where several dealers sit. One dealer reading another's rate is the end of the relationship.
What a damage photograph must carry
Tell dealers a damage claim needs the invoice number, the panel and the carton photograph. Put the claim window in your terms, not in a chat message.

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • You want a guaranteed Google ranking or a guaranteed number of leads. Nobody honest can promise either.
  • You need enquiries by next week and have nobody to answer them.
  • You want posts and reach reported, not enquiries and orders.

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

    Enquiries by source, reply time, conversion and cost per order, 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 reply time, a follow-up sequence, the page buyers land on 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.

    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 the new catalogue to every dealer at once?
Send it to the dealers who stock that category and leave the rest alone. A broadcast to the whole network trains people to ignore you, and the dealer you most wanted mutes the chat before your next launch.
Should reps use their own phones for dealer chats?
It is convenient until the rep resigns and takes the history with him. A number the company owns keeps the conversation, the photographs and the order trail when people change.
A dealer sent a reorder as a voice note. Is that enough to start production?
No. Reply with a typed summary of model, finish, quantity and rate, and wait for his yes. Voice notes are easy to mishear, and a wrong finish found at delivery is expensive. Enter the order in the system after his reply.
Can we add a dealer's salesmen to the dealer list?
Treat each person as a separate recipient who must agree. The dealer owner decides who in his shop sees rates, and many prefer to keep it to himself. Ask him once and record the answer.
Do we need to market to dealers and to consumers differently?
Yes. A dealer decides on margin and whether your trucks arrive on time, so he needs a rep and a margin sheet. A consumer decides on material and finish, so she needs a catalogue page that answers those plainly.
How do we win a corporate furniture tender?
A prompt, complete proposal with a sample piece and a past project reference usually matters more than being the lowest quote. Buyers are wary of a cheap quote that cannot deliver on time.
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.
