Exhibition organisers · WhatsApp marketing

Run stall bookings and visitor invitations on the app both audiences already open.

WhatsApp marketing for an exhibition organiser is the use of the business app to send floor plans, quotes, invitations and reminders to exhibitors and visitors who have agreed to hear from you. GullySales works on the business account, the message templates and the opt-in that keeps the list lawful and welcome.

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 exhibition organisers

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

  • “Exhibitors ask for the floor plan on WhatsApp”

    A marketing head wants the plan, the stall size and the rate in a message they can forward to a manager. A clean PDF and a short note travel further than an email attachment sitting unread.

  • “Visitors register on a phone”

    A dealer or an architect decides about a visit standing on a shop floor or site. A WhatsApp invitation with a registration link that opens on the phone beats an email that waits for a desktop.

  • “Broadcasts to a bought list damage the show”

    Messages sent to numbers that never agreed to hear from you get blocked, and the account loses its standing. Build the list from registrations, enquiries and past exhibitors who opted in, and check the platform's current rules.

  • “A group for exhibitors is useful and needs rules”

    A group announcing stall allocation, set-up times and passes saves calls. Left without a moderator, it fills with chatter and exhibitors mute it before the notice that matters arrives.

What we do

What we deliver for exhibition organisers.

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

  1. A business account set up for the show

    Profile, catalogue of stall sizes, greeting message and away message, with the show's name and dates.

    Result: A business profile an exhibitor recognises as the show's own.

  2. Message templates for each stage

    Approved templates for stall enquiry replies, quotes, deposit reminders, visitor invitations and show-day directions.

    Result: A template for each message your team sends repeatedly.

  3. An opt-in routine

    A tick on enquiry and registration forms, and a record of who agreed to receive messages.

    Result: A list built only from people who agreed.

  4. Visitor invitation broadcasts by buyer group

    Separate invitations for dealers, architects or plant heads, each naming exhibitors that group wants to meet.

    Result: One invitation per group, sent to those who opted in.

  5. An exhibitor group with house rules

    A moderated group for allocation, set-up and pass details, with rules stated at the start.

    Result: A group exhibitors keep unmuted.

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 invitations to every number we hold?
No. Send to people who agreed to hear from you and give a simple way to stop. The platform's rules change, so check the platform's current rules before each campaign.
Should the sales team use their own phones?
Use the business account so every conversation is on the record and survives a change of staff. Personal phones take the history with the executive.
What do exhibitors like to receive on WhatsApp?
Floor plans, quotes, payment details, set-up instructions and visitor numbers by type. Keep promotional chatter out of it, and they will read the messages that matter.
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.
