Paint stores · WhatsApp marketing
Tell the painter the shade tins are in before the drive to the shop.
WhatsApp marketing for a paint store is the use of one business number to share stock, shades and offers with painters and homeowners who have agreed to hear from you. GullySales sets up the number, the lists and the messages without turning the chat into noise.
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 paint stores
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The painter already lives on WhatsApp”
A contractor on a site photographs a wall, asks for a shade and expects an answer on the same chat. A dealer who replies with a stock note and a price gets the order. A dealer who says come to the shop loses the afternoon.
“A personal number is not a business channel”
When orders arrive on the owner's own phone, they vanish when the phone is lost or the staff change. A business number with a catalogue, labels and a shared inbox lets the counter answer in the owner's absence.
“A broadcast to everyone annoys everyone”
Sending a Diwali offer to painters, homeowners and builders in one message suits none of them. Lists by buyer type, with consent recorded, let each group hear something relevant and give the owner a reason to keep the chat active.
“Photographs do the selling”
A wall photograph, a shade card and a picture of the finished room carry more than a paragraph. A catalogue of shades and products, with the photographs, answers the usual questions before a painter asks them.
What we do
What we deliver for paint stores.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A business number and profile
A WhatsApp Business account with the shop's name, hours, address and a short description of brands and services.
Result: Customers meet a profile that looks like the shop.
A catalogue of products and shades
Interior, exterior, putty, primer and waterproofing entries with photographs, and a page of shades you can mix.
Result: A painter can browse stock without a call.
Lists by buyer type
Separate lists for painters, homeowners, builders and designers, with a note of consent for each contact.
Result: Each group receives only the messages meant for it.
Saved replies for common questions
Saved answers on delivery, shade matching, coverage and credit, ready to send from the counter.
Result: Staff answer in the owner's words from the saved text.
A stock and offer message plan
Short messages for new stock, festival repaint offers and waterproofing before the rains, each with a clear next step.
Result: Messages carry something the buyer can act on.

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.
