Shrimp farms · WhatsApp marketing

The harvest notice goes where the plant and the agent already read: WhatsApp.

WhatsApp marketing for a shrimp farm is using WhatsApp to send harvest notices, share crop records and keep buyers informed, from a number the farm controls. GullySales sets up the groups, lists and message formats, and keeps the farm within the platform's current rules.

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 shrimp farms

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

  • “Buyers already live on WhatsApp”

    Agents, traders and plant staff share counts and rates in chats all day. A notice posted there is read; an email is not. The farm's job is to send the right message to the right people, and not to everyone.

  • “A group of all buyers shows rivals each other's news”

    Putting every plant in one group tells each of them who else is buying. Use separate lists, or direct messages, so a harvest notice reaches buyers one at a time and your negotiating position stays yours.

  • “A message needs the facts or it gets a call back”

    A notice that says harvest soon prompts ten questions. One with the pond, the sample count, the quantity and the date answers them. A set format saves the farm the same call repeated.

  • “Broadcast lists need consent”

    People expect messages only from numbers they saved or agreed to. Check the platform's current rules before sending to a list, and keep the list to buyers you have actually dealt with.

What we do

What we deliver for shrimp farms.

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

  1. A buyer list set up for WhatsApp

    Separate lists for plants, agents, traders and local buyers with the right number for each.

    Result: Lists that match your buyer sheet.

  2. A harvest notice format

    Pond, sample count, quantity, date and a contact for the farm.

    Result: A notice that can be sent as soon as a sample is taken.

  3. Crop record sharing

    A way to send the crop record page to a buyer who asks for it.

    Result: A saved file ready to forward.

  4. A business account setup

    The farm's business profile with name, location and what is grown.

    Result: A profile a buyer can check on first contact.

  5. A reply routine

    Who answers, within what hours the farm is reachable and what is said.

    Result: A written routine the team follows.

How the result is measured

  • Messages delivered

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 I use my personal number?
You can, but a separate business number keeps buyers from reaching your personal chats. We help set one up and advise on the business account options.
Will WhatsApp ban me for sending notices?
Check the platform's current rules. We keep messages to buyers who know you and have agreed to hear from you, and we do not use bulk tools that break the rules.
Can you send messages for me?
We prepare the formats and lists. Sending to a plant is better from the farm's own number, in the owner's name, so the buyer knows who is on the other end.
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.
