Footwear stores · WhatsApp marketing
Answer is it in my size with a photograph, and hold the pair until they arrive.
WhatsApp marketing for a footwear store is using the number your customers already message to answer stock questions, hold pairs and tell people when a size arrives. GullySales works on the business profile, the saved replies and the lists the messages go to.
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 footwear stores
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The first message is a stock question”
Customers write do you have this in size, with a screenshot or a photograph. A slow or vague reply sends them to the next shop, while a photograph of the pair on the shelf keeps them.
“A catalogue beats a long thread”
The WhatsApp Business catalogue lets a shop show pairs with price and sizes. It spares staff from sending the same photograph twenty times and gives the buyer something to scroll.
“Broadcasts must be wanted”
A message about school shoes sent to people who bought wedding sandals feels like spam. Lists by interest, and a clear permission, keep the messages welcome.
“Staff share one number poorly”
When three salespeople answer from their own phones, replies differ and customers are lost. One business number with clear roles and saved replies keeps the shop speaking with one voice.
What we do
What we deliver for footwear stores.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A business profile with the range
Name, address, hours, brands carried and a catalogue organised by shoe type.
Result: A customer opening the chat sees what the shop sells.
Saved replies for stock, price and exchange
Ready answers for the common questions, with a photograph template for pairs on the shelf.
Result: Replies are consistent whoever is on the phone.
Lists by interest and season
Groups such as school parents, sports buyers and wedding shoppers, built from customers who agreed.
Result: A message goes only to the people who want it.
A size-arrival message
A short note sent to the waiting list when a missing size comes in, with the hold option.
Result: The people who asked are told first.
A routine for who answers and when
Roles for who replies, who confirms stock and what happens after closing time.
Result: No enquiry waits without an owner.

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.
