Fish shops · WhatsApp marketing
Put the morning's catch in the buyer's phone before the boat is unloaded.
WhatsApp marketing for a fish shop is using a business number, a broadcast list and a catalogue to tell regulars what has come in and to take their orders. GullySales works on the list, the message format and the order routine.
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 fish shops
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The fish buyer already lives on WhatsApp”
Households message the shop to ask what is in, and apartments sit in groups that discuss which seller to use. A shop that is easy to message is a shop that gets the order.
“A broadcast is read when it is useful”
A catch list with photographs of the trays is read, because it tells the buyer what to cook. A list of offers with no news in it is muted within days.
“Orders by message get lost”
A buyer sends a weight and a cut at night, and by morning it is under forty other messages. The shop needs a way to confirm each order and write it on the cleaning list.
“Consent and respect matter”
A buyer who did not ask to be on the list will report the number. Add people who asked, give a clear way to leave, and check the platform's current rules for business messaging.
What we do
What we deliver for fish shops.
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 and a short description, plus a greeting and an away message.
Result: A buyer who messages sees a shop and not a personal number.
A catalogue of the fish you stock
A list of main fish, prawns and cuts with photographs, so a buyer can choose before asking.
Result: Buyers can choose from a menu.
A catch list format
A fixed layout for the morning list with fish, weight options, cut and pickup time, with a photograph.
Result: The list looks the same every morning.
An order confirmation routine
Saved replies that confirm the weight, the cut, the slot and the amount, and a written list for the cleaning table.
Result: Every order has a confirmation and a line on the list.
A consent and removal routine
A way to add buyers who ask, a short opt-in message and a simple way to stop receiving.
Result: The list holds only people who asked to be on 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.

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.
