Interior design firms · WhatsApp marketing

Answer the floor plan that lands in your WhatsApp at midnight.

WhatsApp is where an interior design enquiry actually arrives, usually as a photograph of a floor plan and a question about cost. It is also where the site group, the drawing approvals and the material choices live. GullySales sets up the business account, the catalogue and the rules for the project group.

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 interior design firms

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

  • “The first message is a floor plan and a price question”

    A client forwards the builder's layout and asks what it will cost. A studio with a saved reply that asks back about rooms, budget band and possession date has qualified the enquiry in one exchange.

  • “The project group has to be run, not just created”

    Put the client, the designer, the carpenter and the site supervisor in one group and a change gets approved at eleven at night with nobody recording it. Decide what must be confirmed outside the chat.

  • “Broadcasting finished projects is not marketing”

    Past clients do not need your new photographs. Use that list for something they want: a maintenance reminder, a vendor price change, an invitation to see a project in their own tower.

What we do

What we deliver for interior design firms.

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

  1. A business account with a catalogue by project type

    2BHK, 3BHK, villa, office and retail set up as catalogue items, each showing the budget band it starts from.

    Result: A client sees whether you work at their level before asking.

  2. Saved replies that qualify the first message

    Three questions sent back automatically when a floor plan arrives: which rooms, what budget band, and when possession is due.

    Result: An enquiry is qualified in one exchange rather than four.

  3. A rule for the project group

    What the group is for, what has to be confirmed in writing outside it, and who adds or removes people.

    Result: A verbal approval at night does not become a dispute later.

  4. Approvals recorded outside the chat

    A short process for getting a drawing or a material choice signed off in a form you can produce months afterwards.

    Result: A change the client approved can be shown to have been approved.

  5. Consent captured with the number

    What the client agreed to hear about after handover, recorded at the point the number is first saved.

    Result: You can message a past client without wondering whether you may.

  6. A named person on the business number

    One owner for the number during working hours, and an away message outside them saying when somebody will reply.

    Result: A midnight enquiry is acknowledged instead of ignored.

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 must be in place first

Settle these before a client is added to a project group.

WhatsApp named in the design agreement
Name WhatsApp in the agreement as an update channel, and say that approvals and variations are confirmed separately in writing. Clients then know what counts.
Floor plans and photographs kept private
Treat a floor plan, site photographs and family details as confidential. Keep them off staff status posts and portfolio use until the client says yes.
Which vendors see what
Decide which carpenters, electricians and suppliers join a group, and who removes them at handover. A client's budget should never be visible in a group with vendors.
Stage updates you start yourself
A stage update sent when the client has not written recently may need an approved template. Check WhatsApp's current business policy and pricing before planning updates.
Written yes for the portfolio
Ask at handover whether finished photographs may be used. A yes on photographs does not cover the address or the client's name.

Who it is for

This is written for these interior design firms.

  • Residential interior design studios
  • Turnkey design-and-build firms
  • Retail and commercial interior design firms

  • Boutique single-designer practices
  • Modular kitchen and furniture-focused design firms
  • Design firms working closely with architects and builders

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • You want a guaranteed Google ranking or a guaranteed number of leads. Nobody honest can promise either.
  • You need enquiries by next week and have nobody to answer them.
  • You want posts and reach reported, not enquiries and orders.

How it works

From your first message to the first report.

No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.

  1. First

    Your brief

    You tell us what you need in a few short steps: your business, what you want, where enquiries come from and how they are handled.

  2. After the brief

    A conversation and a written scope

    We read it, then talk with whoever handles your enquiries. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come in writing, and nothing starts before you have read them.

  3. Before work starts

    Baseline recorded

    Enquiries by source, reply time, conversion and cost per order, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.

  4. After the baseline

    The first fix goes live

    The fix we agreed to start with is put in place and measured against the baseline, whether that is reply time, a follow-up sequence, the page buyers land on or the handover between marketing and sales.

  5. As agreed

    Report against the baseline

    What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words. How often you get it is set in writing before work starts.

  6. At renewal

    Renew on the numbers

    The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. The length is agreed in writing before anything starts.

How the whatsapp marketing work runs

  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.

Real clients, the work we did, and the result as it was recorded. Where no number was recorded, none is claimed.

All case studies

  • Houzeome Interior Design Studio

    Situation
    A client choosing an interior designer wants to see rooms the studio actually finished. The site showed stock photography, which tells a prospective client nothing about this studio.
    What we did
    • A custom site build
    • The studio's own photography
    • One brand across the site
    • Six project pages
    Result
    • Six real projects published, each with its own detailed case-study page

Why us

Why owners pick GullySales over an agency.

  • Marketing and sales, as one job

    Most agencies stop at the enquiry. We also fix what happens after it: the reply, the follow-up, the quote and the CRM.

  • The person on the first call does the work

    No account managers in between. You are never handed to someone you have not met.

  • A baseline before anything starts

    Your numbers are written down on day one, so every later report compares against something honest.

  • The fee in writing, split three ways

    Our time, your media spend and production on separate lines. You always see what goes to us.

  • No guarantees we cannot keep

    The term is agreed in writing and never a default twelve months. We never promise a ranking or a lead count, because nobody controls those.

  • One office, and we say so

    Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru. We work across India by call and WhatsApp and travel when a session needs to be in person.

#257, 3rd floor, Sri Nanjundeshwara Complex, Nagarbhavi 8th Block, Outer Ring Road. How we work.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need
Should the client be in a group with our carpenters?
Only if you want every delivery delay discussed in front of them. Keep a client group for design and progress, and a site group for the team. Mixing the two turns an ordinary site problem into a complaint.
Can we send our finished project photos to the whole list?
You can, and most of them will mute you. Send photographs to people who might buy, and send past clients something useful instead. A list you burn out cannot be rebuilt.
A client sends a stream of voice notes with changes. What do we do?
Turn each into a typed change note stating the item, the effect on cost and the date, and ask for a written yes. Treat voice notes as comments only, and start work on a change once the note is confirmed.
Can we give a rough budget from a floor plan on chat?
Give a range per room type with the assumptions listed, and call it an estimate pending a site visit and a specification. The first number a client hears tends to stay with them, so choose it carefully.
How soon would we see more signed projects?
Fixing quote follow-up moves first, since the enquiries you already have are the easiest to recover. Ranking for a search such as 2BHK interior designer in your area, and building architect referrals, takes months.
Do we need to advertise?
Most firms gain first from a strong Instagram presence and local search. Advertising helps for a project type with spare design capacity.
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.
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.
