Bicycle stores · WhatsApp marketing
A parent asks the size on WhatsApp, and the answer arrives with a photo of the cycle.
WhatsApp marketing for a bicycle store is using one business number for size questions, photos of stock, service bookings and reminders. GullySales works on the greeting, the saved replies, the catalogue and the rules for messaging people who agreed.
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 bicycle stores
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The enquiry arrives as a photo of someone else's cycle”
A buyer sends a picture from a marketplace and asks if the shop has it. A reply that says come to the shop loses them, while a reply that says we hold something close and shows it keeps them chatting.
“Repair customers want a status, not a visit”
They ask if the cycle is ready and what the problem was. A message with a photo and a plain note saves a trip and builds trust. Without it, the owner calls the shop and interrupts the mechanic.
“A personal number mixes shop and family”
When the owner's own phone carries enquiries, they sit between family messages and are missed at night. A separate business number with a greeting and away message keeps shop talk in one place.
“Broadcasts to people who did not agree get blocked”
Sending offers to every number in the phone looks efficient and gets the number reported. Messages go to people who agreed to hear from the shop, and the shop checks the platform's current rules before any bulk send.
What we do
What we deliver for bicycle stores.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A WhatsApp Business setup
A business profile with name, address, hours, a short description and a catalogue of cycles and services.
Result: A customer sees a shop profile, not a stranger's number.
A greeting and away message
An opening message that asks age, height and use, and an after-hours note that says when the shop will reply.
Result: Every enquiry starts with the questions you need.
Saved replies for common questions
Replies for wheel size, e-cycle range questions, service booking and pick-up, each with a photo or link.
Result: The team answers the same question the same way.
A catalogue of cycles and services
Photos and short descriptions of the cycles you hold and the repairs you do, kept current by one person.
Result: Buyers browse before they ask.
A reminder message set
Service-due and repair-ready messages, sent to people who agreed to receive them.
Result: Reminders go out from the record to the right people.
Labels for enquiry stage
Labels for new, sizing, ready to visit, bought and service due, applied in the business app.
Result: You can see where each chat stands.

How it works
From your first message to the first report.
No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.
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.
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.
Before work starts
Baseline recorded
The numbers this work is meant to move, such as enquiries, quotations, orders, visits or renewals, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.
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 a reply, a follow-up, a page, a listing or the handover between marketing and sales.
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.
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
Understand current WhatsApp use
We review how customers currently message you and how consistently, if at all, it is answered.
- 2
Audit common questions
We identify the questions that come up repeatedly, which decide what should be automated first.
- 3
Set up automation and templates
An automated first response and quick reply templates are built for the most common needs.
- 4
Connect to the CRM
Conversations are linked to customer records so context carries over between team members.
- 5
Measure and optimise
We track response time and conversion, refining automated responses based on what customers actually ask.
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.
