Animation studios · WhatsApp marketing

Use WhatsApp to share samples and move a brief to a quote without losing the thread.

WhatsApp marketing for an animation studio means using the messaging app, in line with the platform's current rules, to answer enquiries, send sample clips and confirm approvals with clients who already prefer it. GullySales sets up the business profile, the saved replies and a way to log each conversation against the project.

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 animation studios

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

  • “The client's first message is 'send samples'”

    A buyer who found your number sends a short message and expects an answer. A reply with a matched sample, rather than a link to a general reel, shows the studio listens.

  • “Approvals given in chat disappear”

    A client types 'okay, go ahead' to a storyboard. Weeks later the same client disputes a scene. If that message is not copied to the project record, the studio has nothing to point to.

  • “Large video files do not fit the app”

    Heavy files are compressed, and colour and detail suffer. Send a short preview clip and a link to a proper review page, so the client judges the real work.

  • “A personal number mixes work and life”

    When the studio head's own number is the studio's line, messages arrive at midnight and no one else can reply. A business number with set hours and a second person on the account changes that.

What we do

What we deliver for animation studios.

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

  1. Business profile set up

    A WhatsApp Business profile with the studio name, description, address of the portfolio page and enquiry hours.

    Result: A profile that tells a new contact what the studio makes and how to send a brief.

  2. Saved replies

    Replies for a new enquiry, a request for samples, a brief clarification, a quote and a delivery.

    Result: A set of replies the team picks from, each in the studio's voice.

  3. Sample sets by buyer

    Short preview clips and links grouped by explainer, product film, lesson series and children's content.

    Result: A set ready to send within the conversation for each kind of brief.

  4. Approval capture

    A step that copies any approval given in chat into the project record with the date.

    Result: Every approval in a chat has a matching dated entry in the record.

  5. Contact consent

    A note of which contacts agreed to receive messages, and a way for them to opt out.

    Result: A list of contacts who asked to hear from you.

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.

Can we send bulk messages to past clients?
Only to people who have agreed to receive them, and check the platform's current rules. A personal note to a past client about a new product launch is better than a broadcast to a long list.
Should a quote be sent over WhatsApp?
Send a short message that says the quote is ready, and attach the full proposal as a document or an email. The proposal lists inclusions, revisions and terms, and that detail deserves a proper file.
Do we need a second number?
A separate business number is a sensible step once more than one person replies. It keeps client chats away from personal ones and lets the studio hand over when someone is away.
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.
