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.

What to capture or send

What to send and record on WhatsApp for organisers and ticket buyers.

Organiser's first message
Reply with your name, the fee page link and a question about date and seat count. Label the chat as a new organiser.
Agreement and payout details
Send the agreement and a clear request for the payout details. Record when each was received.
Ticket delivery after payment
Send the ticket with event name, date, venue, entry gate and a plain refund line. Record that it was delivered.
Reminder before the show
A short note with the venue, gate time and what to carry. Send it only to buyers who have booked.
Opt-in for event drops
Record the buyer's consent and the genres chosen. Send only those genres and check the platform's current rules.
Problem on the day
A number the buyer can message from the gate. Record the issue and who resolved it, for the organiser's report.

Who it is for

This is written for these event ticketing companies.

  • Concert and music festival ticketing platforms
  • Comedy, theatre and live performance ticketing
  • College fest and campus event ticketing
  • Sports league and marathon registration platforms
  • Workshop, seminar and conference registration ticketing
  • Exhibition and trade show entry ticketing
  • Religious and cultural event pass providers
  • White-label ticketing providers for venues and clubs

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • You have no consent record for buyers, so event broadcasts would reach people who never agreed.
  • The ticket is not yet delivered as a scannable file, so a WhatsApp message would only carry a link that confuses the gate.
  • Nobody monitors the chat on show days, so a help number would be unanswered when it matters.

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

    Read the chats you already have

    We read how customers write to you, which questions repeat and where a chat goes quiet. The repeated questions decide what gets automated first.

  2. 2

    Sort the list and the permission

    Contacts who asked to hear from you are separated from numbers that only sit in a phone book. We agree the wording new contacts will see before they say yes.

  3. 3

    Choose the app or the API

    One phone and a small team can stay on the ordinary app. Several people on one number, templates or a CRM link need the API through a provider, which is its own piece of setup work.

  4. 4

    Write the replies and the plan

    The greeting, away message, saved replies and handover rule are written in your words and approved by you. The message plan and its templates follow.

  5. 5

    Connect the record and test

    Each link carries its source line and each chat lands in the CRM. We test on real phones, including a customer who asks for a person.

  6. 6

    Read the unanswered questions

    A question the first reply could not answer becomes a new saved reply or a fixed handover. Stop requests are watched too, with the number's quality rating where the API is used, since both show a message plan that has gone too far.

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.

Tell us what you need
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.
Can the ticket itself be sent on WhatsApp?
Yes, as a file or a link, but the gate must be able to scan it. Check that the code works on a phone screen and in a screenshot, since buyers forward tickets. A ticket the gate cannot scan is worse than an email.
What do we say when a buyer messages about a cancelled show?
State the refund rule as already published and what you are doing now, with the organiser's confirmation. Do not promise a time. A buyer who sees the rule and the next step in the chat is less likely to escalate.
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.
