Flower shops · WhatsApp marketing
Take the six o'clock anniversary order without a phone call.
WhatsApp is where a florist's urgent orders arrive, because somebody standing outside an office would rather send a message than make a call. GullySales sets up the business account with a catalogue and delivery areas, and writes the replies that turn a six o'clock message into an evening delivery.
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 flower shops
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The first question is always whether you deliver there”
A customer wants to know if you reach the recipient's area and by when. Put the delivery areas and the cut-off in the greeting and half the messages stop being needed.
“The delivery photograph closes the order”
A picture of the arrangement at the door ends the doubt about whether the money was well spent. It is the reason people order from the same shop again.
“Broadcasting to a sympathy customer is how you lose them”
Funeral orders sit in the same chat list as birthdays. Any list you build has to be split by occasion before a single offer goes out.
What we do
What we deliver for flower shops.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
WhatsApp Business set up with a catalogue by occasion and price
Bouquets, wreaths, wedding work and standing arrangements listed with a photograph and a price range, drawn from orders you have already made.
Result: A customer picks an arrangement before they message you.
A greeting that states delivery areas and the cut-off time
An automatic first reply naming the areas you reach, the last order time for same-day delivery, and what a wedding enquiry should include.
Result: A six o'clock customer knows in seconds whether you can help.
Ready replies for the urgent order and the event quote
Written messages for confirming an address and slot on a same-day order, and for opening a wedding conversation with the right questions.
Result: Whoever is holding the phone handles both without thinking.
The delivery confirmation photograph built into the routine
A picture taken at handover and sent to the sender with the time it was delivered.
Result: The customer sees what arrived, and you have proof if it is queried.
Lists split by occasion, with consent recorded
Separate lists for corporate accounts, wedding enquiries and individual buyers, sympathy customers kept off all of them, and an easy way to stop.
Result: Nobody gets an offer that was never meant for them.
Peak-date broadcasts kept to the few that earn their place
A message before Valentine's Day, Mother's Day and the wedding season, and nothing in between beyond a customer's own occasion.
Result: Your messages still get opened when the date matters.
Chat enquiries and orders read against the baseline
How many enquiries arrived on WhatsApp, how fast they were answered and how many became orders, set beside the baseline recorded before work started.
Result: You can see what the chat window earns in a normal week.
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 must be in place first
Settle these before the order chat opens.
- The shop phone, not the rider's
- Keep the Business app on a shop-held phone with delivery areas and hours in the profile. Orders arrive while the delivery rider is on the road, and nobody can answer.
- Permission to message the recipient
- Ask the sender whether you may message the recipient, and only about the delivery. A surprise recipient should receive a delivery message and nothing that reads like marketing.
- The arrangement photograph and the rule behind it
- Tell the sender you will send a photograph before dispatch, and agree what happens if they dislike it. Keep the photograph with the order record.
- Peak-date cut-off, stock and substitution
- Before Valentine's Day, Mother's Day and wedding season, decide the cut-off, the stock limit and the substitution rule. Paste them into the greeting so nobody is surprised.
- Payment confirmed from the shop's account
- Send UPI details from the shop's own account only, and mark the order paid when the credit shows, not when the customer sends a screenshot.
- Occasion reminders need consent
- An anniversary reminder to a past customer is a message you start and may need an approved template. Check WhatsApp's current business policy and pricing, and record the date with their consent.

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.
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.
