Women's development NGOs · WhatsApp marketing

Run orders, group updates and funder messages on WhatsApp without leaking a number.

WhatsApp marketing for a women's development NGO is the use of WhatsApp for catalogue sharing, order messages and updates to buyers, funders and groups. Because the women's phones are involved, privacy matters more here than reach. GullySales works on the message flows, the broadcast rules and who sees whose number.

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 women's development NGOs

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

  • “A group chat shows every member's number to everyone”

    Adding all the women of a self-help group and a buyer to one chat shares phone numbers across a circle that may include someone a woman would rather avoid, such as a relative of a member. Orders can pass through a coordinator or a broadcast list instead, so numbers stay private.

  • “The catalogue on WhatsApp is the first thing a gifting buyer asks for”

    A buyer wants photographs, prices and a minimum order in one message. A catalogue shared from a business account, with items grouped and priced, answers before the buyer has to ask. Without it, the coordinator sends photographs one by one and the buyer loses the thread.

  • “A forwarded order message loses its detail”

    An order sent as a voice note or a photo of handwriting is easily misread by the group. A short fixed format with item, quantity, date and buyer name makes the message the same whoever sends it.

What we do

What we deliver for women's development NGOs.

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

  1. A business WhatsApp set-up for orders

    A business profile with catalogue, greeting and away message, linked from the product pages.

    Result: A buyer who taps the link reaches the catalogue and a person.

  2. A fixed order message format

    One short format for item, quantity, date, address and buyer, used by the buyer and passed to the group unchanged.

    Result: Each order message carries the same five details.

  3. Broadcast rules

    A written rule on who is added to a broadcast list, how consent is taken and how someone leaves.

    Result: Only people who agreed receive broadcasts, and leaving is one step.

  4. A privacy rule for group chats

    Guidance on when to use a chat, when to use a broadcast and how to keep the women's numbers private.

    Result: No member's number is visible to outsiders.

  5. Message drafts in local languages

    Greeting, quote, delay and thanks messages in the languages the groups and buyers use.

    Result: The drafts are checked by your team before use.

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

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

    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.

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 message women in our programmes?
Only with their agreement, using the channel and times they chose. Never send messages about a sensitive service to a number that others may read. Your safeguarding lead sets the rule.
Do we need the WhatsApp Business API?
Not at first. The business app suffices for a small catalogue and a handful of coordinators. Check the platform's current rules and pricing before choosing a larger set-up, and move only when the app stops meeting your needs.
Can we use WhatsApp for fundraising appeals?
Send them only to people who agreed to hear from you, and check the rules for collection and appeals with your own adviser. Do not include fundraising figures or beneficiary photographs.
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.
