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 the 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.

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: The dealer stops ringing the factory to ask where the 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.

Who it is for

This is written for these furniture manufacturers.

  • Modular kitchen and wardrobe manufacturers
  • Office furniture and workstation manufacturers
  • Home furniture manufacturers, sofas, beds and dining sets
  • Outdoor and garden furniture manufacturers
  • Custom and made-to-order carpentry units
  • Hospitality and hotel furniture contractors

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • Reps use personal phones and no dealer list is kept, so a broadcast would leave with the rep.
  • Your dealer agreements do not name WhatsApp as a channel, so orders sent there would be disputed.

How it works

How the whatsapp marketing work runs

The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.

  1. 1

    Read the chats you already have

    We read how customers write to you, which questions repeat and where a chat goes quiet. The repeated questions decide what gets automated first.

  2. 2

    Sort the list and the permission

    Contacts who asked to hear from you are separated from numbers that only sit in a phone book. We agree the wording new contacts will see before they say yes.

  3. 3

    Choose the app or the API

    One phone and a small team can stay on the ordinary app. Several people on one number, templates or a CRM link need the API through a provider, which is its own piece of setup work.

  4. 4

    Write the replies and the plan

    The greeting, away message, saved replies and handover rule are written in your words and approved by you. The message plan and its templates follow.

  5. 5

    Connect the record and test

    Each link carries its source line and each chat lands in the CRM. We test on real phones, including a customer who asks for a person.

  6. 6

    Read the unanswered questions

    A question the first reply could not answer becomes a new saved reply or a fixed handover. Stop requests are watched too, with the number's quality rating where the API is used, since both show a message plan that has gone too far.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 0, foundation. The audit comes before it, and sales management keeps it running.

  1. Step 1

    Sales audit

    Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.

    Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.

  2. Step 2 · you are here

    Sales process design

    One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.

    Start here if every salesperson sells differently.

  3. Step 3

    Sales management

    A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.

    Start here if the team has targets and no routine.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need
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 them. 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 the dealer's yes. Voice notes are easy to mishear, and a wrong finish found at delivery is expensive. Enter the order in the system after the dealer's 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 the shop sees rates, and some owners keep it to themselves. Ask the owner once and record the answer.
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.
