Event ticketing companies · WhatsApp marketing

Use WhatsApp for what buyers and organisers already do there: ask, pay and show the ticket.

WhatsApp marketing for a ticketing company covers organiser conversations, ticket delivery and opted-in event updates for attendees. GullySales sets up the message templates, the consent wording and the record of chats.

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 event ticketing companies

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

  • “Organisers ask on WhatsApp first”

    A promoter finds your number from a post and writes a one-line question about fees. The reply sets the tone. A saved answer with the fee page and a sample listing carries the conversation better than a long call.

  • “The ticket lives in a chat”

    A buyer opens the ticket at the gate from a WhatsApp message. If delivery is late or the QR is hard to open on a dim phone, the problem lands at the entrance. The delivery message needs testing on ordinary phones.

  • “Broadcasts need a list that agreed”

    Event drops sent to people who never opted in earn complaints and blocks. A list built from buyers who said yes to updates, by city and event type, is smaller and worth more.

  • “Chats have to reach the record”

    Organiser promises made in a chat, such as a payout date or a discount, vanish if they stay on one phone. Copying the gist into the CRM is the step that protects both sides.

What we do

What we deliver for event ticketing companies.

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

  1. Organiser conversation templates

    Message sets for first reply, fee query, sample sent, listing live and post-show follow-up.

    Result: Each stage of the conversation has an approved message.

  2. Ticket delivery message

    A clear message carrying the ticket, event name, venue, date and entry instructions.

    Result: A buyer receives a message that holds everything needed for the gate.

  3. Opt-in capture

    Consent wording at checkout and on event pages for event updates, with city and interest choices.

    Result: Each subscriber has a record of when and how they agreed.

  4. Event drop broadcast format

    A format for announcing new events by city and type to opted-in attendees.

    Result: Each broadcast follows one layout and goes to a defined list.

  5. Chat-to-record routine

    A habit for logging promises and decisions from chats into the CRM.

    Result: Every agreed term is written down beyond the chat.

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.

Do we need the WhatsApp Business API?
It depends on the volume and on whether you want automated ticket messages. The Business app suits a small team. For automated sending at scale, a provider's API is used, and you should check the platform's current rules.
Can we add buyers to a broadcast list from the booking?
Only with their agreement to receive updates. A booking is not consent to promotion. Record the consent, offer a way to stop and check the wording with your own adviser.
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.
