Construction equipment rental · WhatsApp marketing

Put your free machines in the pocket of every contractor who has hired from you.

WhatsApp marketing for an equipment rental yard is the use of WhatsApp to share availability, answer enquiries and keep in touch with contractors who already know you. GullySales works on the business account setup, the contact list, message wording and who replies.

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 construction equipment rental

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

  • “The site runs on WhatsApp”

    Site engineers send photos of the ground, share a location pin and confirm a start time in the same chat. A yard that replies on WhatsApp in the buyer's own thread wins the conversation the phone call started.

  • “A broadcast list needs consent”

    Messaging contractors who never agreed to hear from you annoys them and risks the number. Build the list from past hirers who have messaged you, and let anyone leave on request.

  • “A catalogue beats a long message”

    A business account can show machines with sizes and photos. A buyer can browse it and forward it to a colleague. Typing the fleet out each time wastes the counter's hours.

  • “Several people, one number”

    When two or three staff share one WhatsApp, messages get missed or answered twice. Decide who replies in which hours, and what the buyer is told outside them.

    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 message all our old contacts?
Only those who have agreed to hear from you. Check the platform's current rules on business messaging, and keep the list limited to contractors with a real hire or enquiry.
Do we need the paid API?
Not at the start. A business account is enough for a small yard, and we move to more only when volume needs it.
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.
