Hypermarkets · WhatsApp marketing
Send the sale list to named households and answer when they reply.
WhatsApp marketing for a hypermarket is the sending of offers and answers to households and bulk buyers who have agreed to hear from the store. GullySales works on the opt-in, the message plan and the person who answers the replies.
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 hypermarkets
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Households read a list, then plan the trip”
A family receives the sale list, checks it against the kitchen, and decides whether the drive is worth it. A short list with a few real offers does this better than a long catalogue.
“Consent is the foundation”
A number taken at billing without saying why will be blocked when the first message arrives. Tell the family what they will get and how to stop. Check the platform's current rules on business messaging.
“Replies matter more than broadcasts”
A shopper asks if a pressure cooker is in stock or when the sale ends. A reply from a person within the store's own hours turns the message into a visit. No reply turns it into a block.
“Bulk buyers use WhatsApp as the order desk”
A caterer sends a list of items at night and expects a rate in the morning. A shared number with no owner loses the order; a named person and a rate sheet keep it.
What we do
What we deliver for hypermarkets.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A WhatsApp Business setup for the store
Profile, catalogue, greeting, away message and labels set up on the store's number, with the opening hours entered.
Result: The profile shows the store's name, hours and address.
An opt-in at billing, the entrance and the website
Ways to join, each with a line telling the household what they receive and how to leave.
Result: Each sign-up records where the household joined.
A message plan tied to the sale calendar
A set of messages for month-start, festival and anniversary sales, each with one offer and one action.
Result: Each message has a date and a named offer.
Segments by locality and interest
Lists for localities, appliance buyers, festival buyers and bulk buyers, so the right offer goes to the right group.
Result: No message goes to the whole list without a reason.
A reply desk with a rota
Names of staff who answer, the hours they answer and a short answer sheet for stock, timings and parking.
Result: Every reply has an owner.
A bulk order flow
A rate sheet, an order form and a confirmation message for institutional buyers.
Result: A caterer can send a list and receive a rate.
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.
