Lighting designers · WhatsApp marketing

Use WhatsApp to share drawings and updates with project teams, in an order they can find.

WhatsApp marketing for a lighting designer means using the app that architects, interior designers and clients already use to send introductions, project updates and follow-ups with permission. GullySales sets up the business profile, message wording and record-keeping so the channel stays orderly.

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 lighting designers

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

  • “Project teams live on WhatsApp”

    Site engineers, architects and clients exchange drawings and decisions there all day. A studio that is easy to reach on the app is easier to hire, provided messages are clear and not casual to the point of confusion.

  • “Drawings get lost in group chats”

    A fittings schedule sent into a busy group is soon buried. A routine of sending the document, a one-line summary and the date, and filing it in the project record, stops decisions from vanishing.

  • “Broadcasting needs permission”

    Sending a studio update to every contact breaks trust and may breach the platform's rules. Messages should go to people who agreed to receive them, and each should be able to stop easily.

  • “A business profile carries weight”

    A business profile with the studio name, a description of the design services and a link to the portfolio tells a new contact where they are. A personal number with no profile looks informal.

What we do

What we deliver for lighting designers.

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

  1. Business profile and catalogue

    A set-up that names the studio, lists the services and links to the portfolio.

    Result: A new contact sees what the studio does on first message.

  2. Reply and greeting wording

    Short opening replies and an away message written in the studio's voice.

    Result: Every enquiry receives a clear first response.

  3. Project update routine

    A simple pattern for sharing drawings: document, summary line, date and filing in the record.

    Result: Decisions made on chat are written into the project file.

  4. Opt-in list for studio news

    A list of contacts who agreed to hear about new work, with a way to leave.

    Result: Updates reach only those who asked for them.

  5. Chat-to-record habit

    A rule for copying enquiry details from the chat into the studio's records.

    Result: No enquiry is left only in a phone's chat history.

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.

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 we send updates to all our contacts?
Only to those who agreed to receive them. Check the platform's current rules on business messaging before sending. We help you build a list from people who opt in.
Should we use a separate number for the studio?
A separate business number keeps work apart from personal messages. It also lets more than one person reply. We explain the options and you choose.
Will WhatsApp replace email for proposals?
No. Formal fee proposals belong in a document sent with care. The app is for quick questions, updates and reminders, with the formal record kept elsewhere.
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.
