Clothing stores and boutiques · Lead generation
Turn the price question in your DMs into a fitting appointment.
Lead generation for a boutique means treating a saved post and a one-word DM as an enquiry worth answering and recording. GullySales sets up the WhatsApp routine, the qualifying questions about occasion and date, and the appointment book that turns a price question into a visit.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.
What lead generation means
Lead generation is the combined work of every channel that brings in a new enquiry, whether from search, adverts, referrals or a stall at an exhibition. GullySales runs these channels together and reports the number of enquiries each one produced, not the activity behind it.

For clothing stores and boutiques
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The enquiry is one word long”
A DM that says price arrives with no size, occasion or date, and the shop that asks those three questions back is the one that gets the fitting.
“A date makes the enquiry urgent or worthless”
A woman whose sister marries in three weeks needs an answer today, and one shopping for next Diwali can wait. The two should not sit in the same list.
“Uniform enquiries come through a different door”
A school or a hospital sends a requirement by email or a call to the office months before the order, and that enquiry never appears in your Instagram inbox.
What we do
What we deliver for clothing stores and boutiques.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A WhatsApp catalogue split by occasion
Collections loaded into WhatsApp Business under bridal, festival, everyday and kids, so a price question is answered with pictures and a range in one reply.
Result: A shopper gets the answer while she is still interested.
Three questions asked on every enquiry
Saved replies asking the occasion, the date and the size before a price is quoted, used by whoever is answering messages that day.
Result: You know within two messages whether an order is near.
An appointment book for fittings and trials
Fitting and trial slots booked by name, with a WhatsApp reminder the day before, instead of telling a customer to drop in sometime.
Result: A booked slot brings her in, and the shop knows who is coming.
A separate list for uniform and bulk requirements
School, hospital, hotel and office enquiries tracked with the sample sent, the sizes needed and the date the institution decides.
Result: A uniform enquiry is followed up on the institution's calendar.
An enquiry record with the occasion and the date
Every enquiry logged with where it came from, the occasion and the event date, reviewed against the sales that followed.
Result: You can tell which channel brings buyers and which brings browsers.
How the result is measured
- Enquiries generated
- Cost per enquiry
- Enquiries by source
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.
Where enquiries come from
The places an order enquiry reaches a boutique, and what to record at each.
- An Instagram DM about an outfit
- Record the post that prompted it, the occasion and the date they need it. Reply with the size range, the fabric and an invitation to see it in the shop.
- A WhatsApp price enquiry
- Ask the occasion, the size and the date before quoting. Send the catalogue pictures for that occasion, and note the reply in the customer list.
- A walk-in shopper
- Write down the name, the number and what she looked at, even if she leaves without buying. Offer to message her when the matching stock arrives.
- A bridal or wedding party booking
- Record the date, the number of outfits, the family members involved and the fittings needed. Confirm each item and the advance in writing.
- A school, hospital or office uniform request
- Record the institution, the person in charge, the sizes and the delivery date. Send a sample and a written quote with the renewal date noted.
- A repeat customer's call before a festival
- Link to the last purchase and the size. Offer to show new arrivals for the occasion and record what she bought for the next festival.

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 lead generation work runs
- 1
Understand your capacity
We agree how many enquiries your sales team can actually handle well, so the system is not built to overwhelm it.
- 2
Audit current sources
We check what already brings in enquiries today, even informally, before adding anything new.
- 3
Strategise the channel mix
Content, search and paid channels are chosen based on where your buyers already look.
- 4
Implement capture and follow-up
Pages, forms and a follow-up process are built and connected end to end.
- 5
Measure and optimise
We track enquiry volume and quality and adjust the channel mix to match.
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.
