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 retail store designers

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

  • “Shopkeepers send a photo of the empty unit”

    The first message is a picture of a shell and a question about cost. A reply that asks for the area, the town and the store type moves the chat forward, while a price blurted out ends the conversation.

  • “Drawings travel in forwards”

    A plan sent in a chat is forwarded to the promoter, the contractor and the landlord. Mark each file with the version and date, or three people discuss three different layouts.

  • “Brand heads use WhatsApp for site updates”

    During fit-out, the expansion head wants a photograph of progress at the end of each visit. A habit of sending it, with a line on what is next, answers worry before it is voiced.

  • “Bulk messages to old contacts backfire”

    A broadcast to every number in the studio's phone annoys people who never asked. Send only to those who agreed to hear from you, and check the platform's current rules.

What we do

What we deliver for retail store designers.

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 reads like a studio

    Name, address, store types, hours and a catalogue of project photographs.

    Result: A new contact sees what you do on opening the chat.

  2. Quick replies for first enquiries

    Saved answers that ask for store type, town, area and landlord.

    Result: Every first reply gathers the same facts.

  3. A file naming rule

    Version, date and store name on each drawing sent.

    Result: Everyone refers to the same plan.

  4. A progress photo habit

    A short update after each site visit during fit-out.

    Result: Brand heads are informed without asking.

  5. A consent list

    Contacts who have agreed to receive project news.

    Result: You message only people who 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.

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.

Tell us what you need
Should clients be added to broadcast lists?
Only with their agreement, and for news they would want. For project work use the individual chat.
Who should answer the WhatsApp number?
Decide it by name and by hours, and put the hours on the profile. A shopkeeper who writes during a site visit and hears nothing goes to the next studio.
Can WhatsApp replace email for proposals?
Use it to send and discuss. Keep the formal proposal as a document, and note the date it was shared.
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.
