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 residential interior designers

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

  • “The first message is a floor plan and a hope”

    Families send the plan with a line about the budget and wait. A reply that greets them, asks about the possession date and offers a visit starts the relationship. A silence sends them to the next studio on the list.

  • “Photographs and voice notes pile up”

    Over a project, a chat fills with inspiration pictures, measurements and approvals. Without a habit of saving the decisions to the project record, the team argues later about who agreed what.

  • “Broadcasts to past enquiries can annoy”

    A message to everyone who ever asked for a quote feels like spam if it has nothing to say. A note before a festival move-in date, sent to those who agreed to hear from you, is received better.

What we do

What we deliver for residential interior designers.

The work available for this need. We agree the deliverables and responsibilities for your engagement in writing.

  1. Business profile set-up

    A business profile with the studio name, the cities served, a short description and a catalogue of services.

    Result: A family sees a real studio when they open the chat.

  2. Saved replies for common questions

    Replies for floor-plan enquiries, cost questions, site-visit bookings and stage payments.

    Result: The team answers the same question the same clear way.

  3. Consent and opt-out routine

    A plain way to ask permission to send updates and to stop them on request.

    Result: Only people who agreed receive broadcasts.

  4. Decision log from chats

    A habit of copying approvals and changes from a chat into the project record.

    Result: The record shows what was agreed, and when.

  5. Festival and handover broadcast plan

    A short plan for messages to consenting past enquiries before festival move-in dates.

    Result: Each broadcast has a reason and an audience that asked for it.

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 studio sends and records in the first WhatsApp exchange with a family.

The floor plan as received
Save it against the family record the moment it arrives. It is the real enquiry, and a quote cannot begin without it.
First reply with two questions
Ask about possession stage and scope in the opening message, so full-home families are separated from a single-room request.
A finished home of the same size
Send a short walk-through video of a similar flat. It answers the question the family has not yet typed.
Site-visit confirmation
Send a message with the date, the address and who will come. It spares a family from asking again, and it records what was promised.
Quote sent as a file
Send the quote as a document, with a short line on what to read first. A quote buried in a chat thread is lost when the family scrolls.
Opt-in to later updates
Ask before adding a family to any list. Sending offers to people who gave a number for a quote breaks their trust.

Who it is for

This is written for these residential interior designers.

  • Studios for 2BHK and 3BHK apartments
  • Designers for villas and independent houses
  • Modular package and turnkey home interior studios
  • Luxury home interior designers
  • Designers for renovation of older homes
  • Studios tied to a single large builder or township
  • Designers for non-resident families furnishing a home remotely
  • Small studios run by one designer and a site supervisor

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • One personal phone holds every client chat and the owner is the only person who reads it, so a business setup would not change who answers.
  • You plan to message everyone in your phone contacts with offers, which families who never asked will treat as spam.
  • You cannot answer messages sent late in the evening, and a family would take the silence as your reply.

Before you decide

Agree the work. Know how to judge it.

WhatsApp marketing for residential interior designers: use these checks to prepare, choose the scope, and review what changes.

Bring the right evidence

Describe how the contact list was collected, what people asked to receive, and which messages are currently sent. Include opt-outs and replies when reviewing campaign performance.

Make the scope clear

Agree the audience, message purpose, sending system, and response owner. Separate promotional communication from order or service updates, and check current platform requirements before launch.

Check the work in use

Test the message with a small appropriate audience before wider use. Check links, reply handling, opt-outs, and whether the response leads to a relevant conversation or order.

Know when to change course

Do not use an unexplained contact list as a shortcut to demand. If recipients do not expect the message, resolve the permission and relevance questions before sending.

These are discussion points, not a fixed package. GullySales confirms the deliverables, responsibilities, fee, and term in writing after reading your brief and speaking with you.

Before we start

What to have ready before the work starts.

The records, access and decisions this work needs from residential interior designers. Anything missing is noted in the written scope, with who will supply it.

A business number the studio controls
Keep a number that belongs to the studio and is answered by the office. A designer's personal number mixes clients with family and leaves with the designer. If you cannot separate them, we begin with the app on that number and note the risk.
A list of the questions families ask first
Write the ten questions you hear first and your answers. These become the saved replies. If you have not written them, we draft from chats and you correct each.
Photographs and voice notes you may keep
Say which client files may stay in the chats and which must be moved to the record. Plans and voice notes pile up, and we need a rule. Without it, important decisions sit in scattered threads. A copy of each approved plan stored in the project folder protects both sides.
Past enquirers who have agreed to hear from you
List the contacts who asked to be informed, with proof such as the message in which they asked. Broadcasts go only to them. If nobody has agreed, we send none and begin with replies.
A plan for festival and handover messages
Decide which occasions the studio writes on: festival greetings, handover anniversaries. Each needs the family's agreement. If undecided, we write none and start with replies.

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 how floor plans arrive today

    We look at the last set of enquiries that came by WhatsApp: a photograph of a plan, a voice note, a link to a builder's brochure. You show what you replied and when. The review tells us which messages are lost in the pile and which families waited without a word.

  2. 2

    Move the studio onto a business number

    If enquiries come to a personal phone, we help set up a business number and agree what happens to old chats. You decide which number appears on the site and the cards. We never read private chats unless you instruct us.

  3. 3

    Set up the profile and the catalogue of homes

    The business profile carries the studio's name, cities, hours and a link to finished homes. We add a small catalogue of home sizes, each pointing to a page. You check every line so a family opening the profile sees at once what you do.

  4. 4

    Write saved replies from real questions

    From your chats we take the questions families ask first: the cost, the start, the scope, whether you take a single room. For each you give the answer you want sent, and we save it as a quick reply. You test it on a phone and rewrite what sounds stiff.

  5. 5

    Agree the consent and opt-out routine

    Before any broadcast, we make sure each person has agreed to hear from you and can leave by a single word. We write the first message that asks for agreement and the rule for removing a name. You decide who handles opt-outs, because a name left on a list after a request to leave is the quickest way to lose a family's goodwill.

  6. 6

    Keep a decision log and read the chats

    Decisions made in chat, such as a changed finish or an approved sketch, are copied into the record by the designer with the date. At review we count chats that became visits and quotes against the figures from before and read which replies helped. You decide which saved replies to rewrite and which chats the studio should hand to a call.

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
Is it better to take client messages on a personal number or a business account?
Use a business account so the studio name, hours and services are visible, and so more than one person can reply. Read the platform's current rules on business messaging before you set it up.
Is it fine to send our offers to every contact in the phone?
Only to people who agreed to receive them, and with an easy way to stop. Messaging people who never asked harms your name; check the platform's current rules first.
Who should answer the chat during site visits?
Agree a rota so a named person covers the phone when the designer is on site. A first reply that comes from the studio, even a short one, is better than silence until evening.
Should the site supervisor chat with clients on WhatsApp?
Yes, for site matters, in a group that includes the designer. It keeps the supervisor's photographs and notes on the record, and the family has one place to see progress rather than several separate threads.
Is a business account better than my personal number?
Yes. A business account holds a profile, saved replies, labels and a catalogue, and it keeps the studio's chats apart from family. It also lets more than one person answer from a shared number in some set-ups; check the platform's current options. The studio keeps the history when a designer leaves. Moving takes care, because families know the old number, so we plan a message that tells them. The change is the owner's decision and we do not make it without you.
Who should reply while the designers are at a site?
A coordinator or the owner, using the saved replies, to acknowledge the message and ask the flat size and stage. The designer then takes over for anything that needs judgement. If nobody can reply, the profile should say when the studio answers so that families know. We write the away message with you. Replies from a site supervisor are limited to progress, never price or scope, and any change is confirmed in writing by the designer.
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.
