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 LPG and cooking gas distributors

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

  • “Cooks and wardens already live on WhatsApp”

    A kitchen manager sends an order by message faster than by call. A business number with saved replies meets that habit. A short reply beats a long form.

  • “One number for everything creates a mess”

    Household booking, commercial orders and complaints in one chat are hard to sort. Labels and separate replies keep each in its place. Keep a separate number for emergencies if you can staff it.

  • “Delivery updates cut avoidable calls”

    A message that the vehicle is on the way saves a dozen calls. It also gives the customer a record if the delivery fails. Send the update when the vehicle leaves, not when it is late.

  • “Official booking systems still apply”

    Connections and bookings follow the oil company's process. WhatsApp is for service communication, not a replacement. Use the official channel for anything that creates or changes a connection.

What we do

What we deliver for LPG and cooking gas distributors.

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

  1. A business profile that explains the agency

    Name, area, hours, catalogue of commercial services and the contact for emergencies.

    Result: New customers see what you offer.

  2. Quick replies for common questions

    Saved answers on booking, delivery time, commercial supply and complaints.

    Result: Staff answer consistently.

  3. Labels for each chat type

    Tags such as household, commercial, complaint and bulk.

    Result: Nothing is lost in the scroll.

  4. A consent-based update list

    Commercial customers who agreed to receive delivery or closure updates.

    Result: Messages go only to those who asked.

  5. An away message

    A set reply for when the counter is closed, pointing to the emergency details.

    Result: Nobody is left unanswered.

  6. A catalogue of services

    Commercial supply, small cylinders and bulk, each with a short description.

    Result: A buyer sees the service range.

  7. A rule for sensitive messages

    Complaints and safety questions are moved to a call.

    Result: Serious matters get a person.

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 a kitchen on WhatsApp, and what to keep off it.

Delivery on the way
A line saying the truck has left with the customer's cylinders. Send from the commercial number, not a personal phone.
Holiday and festival counter hours
A notice of closed days, sent to customers who opted in. It lets kitchens order before the shut.
Invoice copy for the accounts person
Send the GST invoice as a file to the contact who handles billing. Record that it was sent.
Complaint received acknowledgement
A reply naming who will act and what you need, such as the cylinder number. Nothing else until it is solved.
Safety notice from the oil company
Forward official notices as they stand, credited to the source. Do not rewrite or add claims.
What stays off WhatsApp
Pricing disputes, allotment arguments and advertising beyond what the agreement allows. Take these to a call.

Who it is for

This is written for these LPG and cooking gas distributors.

  • Oil company appointed distributors for domestic connections
  • Commercial cylinder suppliers to restaurants and caterers
  • Distributors serving hostels, PGs and institutional canteens
  • Small cylinder and refill dealers for tenants and students
  • Bulk LPG suppliers to hotels, factories and hospitals
  • Rural distributors serving villages with scattered delivery
  • Urban apartment-belt agencies in cities such as Bengaluru, Pune and Hyderabad
  • Gas stove, regulator and hose accessory sellers attached to an agency

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • You do not yet have permission from customers to message them, and unsolicited messages break the platform's rules.
  • One personal phone holds every chat, so the business would lose the history when staff change.
  • Booking runs through the oil company's own system, and a parallel booking route would confuse customers.

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 send offers on WhatsApp?
Only if your agreement allows it and the customer has agreed to receive them. Check with your sales officer and the platform's current rules. Take consent at the first order and note it.
Should customers book gas through WhatsApp?
Use the oil company's official booking route for connections. WhatsApp can handle commercial order messages and status questions. Do not use the chat for anything that needs a document or a signature.
Who answers the number?
Named staff during stated hours. An unanswered business number does more harm than none. Keep messages factual and short.
Can the counter use WhatsApp to take bookings?
Take it only as a request that you pass on, and send the customer to the official booking route for the cylinder itself. The oil company controls booking records, so a side channel can lead to missed or duplicated orders. Check the current rules with the sales officer.
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.
