Send the harvest notice to every buyer on the one app they already read.

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 fish farms

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

  • “Traders already live on WhatsApp”

    Rates, lorry numbers and lifting times are agreed on it. A farm that sends a clear notice there reaches the buyer in the place they already look.

  • “A broadcast reaches those who agreed”

    A list of buyers who have said yes to hear from you stays useful. A message sent to strangers gets the number blocked, and the farm loses a channel it needs.

  • “A photograph settles a size question”

    A picture of fish laid on the weighing scale tells a trader more than a paragraph. A short note beside it with the species and the quantity finishes the offer.

  • “The business number should not be a personal one”

    When a family phone carries both farm orders and private chats, enquiries are missed and photographs mix. A separate number for the farm keeps the record clean.

What we do

What we deliver for fish farms.

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

  1. A farm WhatsApp Business profile

    The farm name, location, species, hours and a short description, set up on a separate number.

    Result: A profile a buyer sees when they open the chat.

  2. Broadcast lists by buyer type

    Separate lists for traders, kitchens and households, each joined by agreement.

    Result: Lists you can send to without mixing audiences.

  3. Message templates

    A harvest notice, a rate update, a thank-you and a payment reminder, each in a fixed format.

    Result: Four messages you fill in and send.

  4. Saved replies

    Saved answers for common questions on size, packing, delivery and visiting days.

    Result: A set of replies ready on the phone.

  5. A permission note

    A line asking a new buyer if they are happy to receive harvest notices, and how to stop them.

    Result: A record that each person on a list agreed.

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 a fish farm sends and keeps on WhatsApp.

Harvest notice to the trader list
A photograph of the pond with the species, the expected size and the booking number. Send it only to buyers who asked to hear, and keep the list by buyer type.
Size photograph
A picture of the fish held beside a hand or a scale when a buyer asks about size. It settles the question that a spoken word never does.
Booking reply for a first-time buyer
A saved reply asking for species, quantity, lift arrangement and payment terms in turn. The buyer's answers become the first lines of the record.
Lift confirmation
A message with the time, the quantity, the weighment arrangement and the rate agreed. It becomes the written record if the rate is argued later.
Opt-out noted
A label for contacts who asked to stop. The farm writes only to those who have not, and a buyer who left is not pursued.

Who it is for

This is written for these fish farms.

  • Freshwater pond farms growing rohu, catla and mrigal
  • Pangasius and tilapia farms selling to processors and wholesalers
  • Cage culture units in reservoirs and large water bodies
  • Farms growing murrel, magur and other air-breathing fish
  • Fish farmers' groups and societies selling together
  • Farms with a pay-and-catch pond or a farm-visit weekend
  • Integrated farms with a fish pond beside paddy, poultry or dairy
  • Farms that supply table-size fish to hotels and caterers

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • You plan to post the day's rate in a large trader group, which ties the farm to a figure and annoys the agent who buys from you
  • The farm uses a personal number shared by the family, so business messages would mix with household ones and be missed
  • You have no permission from buyers to message them, and writing to the whole phone book would damage the number

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
Can we message everyone in our phone book?
Message people who have agreed to hear from you. Check the platform's current rules on business messaging before you send in bulk, since they change and a blocked number is hard to recover.
Do we need the paid API?
Not at the start. The WhatsApp Business app handles lists, replies and a catalogue for a small farm. A larger group of farms with a long buyer list may look at the paid option later.
What stops a fish farm from using WhatsApp to share its rate?
A rate posted in a group is read by every trader at once, and the farm cannot move it when the market shifts. Send rates one to one for the lot in question. Check the platform's current rules before sending the same message to many people.
Can we message everyone in our phone book with the harvest notice?
No. Send it to buyers who asked to hear from the farm, and give anyone a way to stop. A notice to people who never bought fish is reported as spam and can put the business number at risk. Check the platform's current rules before sending to a large list.
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.
