Gemstone dealers · WhatsApp marketing

Run the stone enquiry on WhatsApp as a routine, from first reply to final payment.

WhatsApp marketing for a gemstone dealer is the planned use of WhatsApp for first replies, videos, reports, quotes and updates to buyers, jewellers and astrologers who have asked to hear from you. GullySales works on the replies, the catalogue, the lists and the rules for messaging buyers who agreed to hear from you.

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 gemstone dealers

Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.

  • “The chat is the shop for a distant buyer”

    A buyer in another city judges the dealer by how the chat goes: how soon the stone is shown, whether the certificate is sent and whether the answer is plain. A confusing thread loses the sale before price comes up.

  • “Broadcasting stones to everyone is a sure way to be blocked”

    Sending every new arrival to every contact reaches buyers who wanted a different stone. Lists by stone interest and by buyer type let a sapphire message reach a sapphire buyer only, and keep the rest of the contacts welcoming.

  • “Consent is the foundation of any broadcast”

    A buyer who asked for a stone has agreed to hear about that stone, not about everything. Keep a record of how each contact came to you, and honour a request to stop at once. Check the platform's current rules on business messaging.

  • “A catalogue helps, a flood of photographs does not”

    The business app's catalogue holds stones with a picture, a short description and a link to the report. Photographs sent one by one with no order become a long scroll the buyer cannot search or compare.

What we do

What we deliver for gemstone dealers.

Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.

  1. A first-reply script by stone and buyer type

    Opening replies for a retail enquiry, a jeweller and an astrologer, each asking for the details a quote needs.

    Result: Every new enquiry receives the same clear first answer.

  2. A WhatsApp Business setup

    Profile, hours, greeting, away message, saved replies and catalogue set up on the business app.

    Result: A buyer sees a proper business, not a personal number.

  3. Lists by stone and buyer type

    Contact lists kept by stone interest and by trade or retail, each with a note of how consent was given.

    Result: A message goes only to people who asked about that stone.

  4. A video and report routine

    A standard way to send a daylight video, the report and the weight in one thread, labelled by stone.

    Result: The buyer receives everything needed to decide in one place.

  5. Templates for quotes and updates

    Short wording for a quote, an arrival notice and a viewing invitation, edited per buyer before sending.

    Result: Quotes look the same every time and are easy to find later.

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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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. 1

    Understand current WhatsApp use

    We review how customers currently message you and how consistently, if at all, it is answered.

  2. 2

    Audit common questions

    We identify the questions that come up repeatedly, which decide what should be automated first.

  3. 3

    Set up automation and templates

    An automated first response and quick reply templates are built for the most common needs.

  4. 4

    Connect to the CRM

    Conversations are linked to customer records so context carries over between team members.

  5. 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.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Should we use the business app or the ordinary app?
Use the business app. It offers a catalogue, saved replies and a business profile, and it separates shop conversations from personal ones. Move the shop number across before you grow the contact list.
Can we message old customers about a new stone?
Yes, if they agreed to hear from you and the stone matches what they bought or asked about. Offer the stone, say how to opt out and stop for anyone who asks. Check the platform's current rules.
Is a chatbot suitable for a stone dealer?
Not at the start. Buyers of valuable stones want a person who knows the stone. An automatic greeting and saved replies help; a bot answering questions on treatment or price does not.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
How long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
How soon will we see results?
It depends on the trade, the channel and what is already in place. After we have read your brief and spoken to you, we say what we would expect to move first and how it will be measured against the baseline. Nothing here is guaranteed.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
Your brief, and a conversation. After that, access to whatever this work touches, such as your website, your accounts or your enquiry record, and time with the people who handle your enquiries.
What if we are not happy with the work?
Tell us and the plan changes. Everything is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. The term is in your written scope, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
