Pet product stores and brands · WhatsApp marketing

Make reordering a bag of food one message away.

WhatsApp marketing for a pet shop or brand uses the Business app or the API to take orders, send reorder reminders and answer questions, with the customer's permission. GullySales sets up the catalogue, the templates and the customer list so the conversation stays with the shop.

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 pet product stores and brands

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

  • “Orders live in the owner's personal phone”

    A customer's request is scattered through a dozen chats. If the owner is away, nobody can see what was asked or promised.

  • “Reminders go out to everyone, or to nobody”

    A broadcast on a festival day reaches all contacts. A reminder timed to a food bag finishing reaches nobody because the date was never recorded.

  • “A customer joins a group and leaves it angry”

    A group with offers every day is muted within a week. The shop loses the one channel it owned.

What we do

What we deliver for pet product stores and brands.

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

  1. A Business profile and catalogue

    Shop name, address, hours, delivery areas and a catalogue of main foods, litter and accessories with pack sizes.

    Result: A customer orders from a list, not from memory.

  2. A reorder list tied to each customer

    Customer, pet, product, pack size, last order and the date it is likely to run out, with permission recorded.

    Result: Reminders reach those who need them.

  3. Message templates for repeated cases

    Order confirmation, delivery on the way, reorder reminder, restock alert and a review request, each short and in plain language.

    Result: Replies are quick and consistent.

  4. A consent and opt-out record

    A column showing who agreed to promotional messages and when, with a word that stops them.

    Result: Messages go to people who want them.

  5. A shared inbox with named owners

    More than one person can answer, with notes on the pet and order, so a message is never held by one phone.

    Result: Orders are not lost when someone is off.

  6. A delivery update routine

    A message when the order leaves and another when it arrives, with a number to reply to if there is a problem.

    Result: Customers know where the order is.

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

What a pet shop or brand needs before using WhatsApp for orders and reminders.

Opt-in from each customer
Record when and how a customer agreed to messages from the shop. A phone number on a bill does not mean she wants offers. Ask at the counter and note it.
A business profile with the shop's name
Add the address, hours and delivery areas, and the catalogue. Owners check these before they send a photo of a food bag.
Approved templates
Prepare templates for order confirmation, delivery updates, reorder reminders and restock alerts. Check WhatsApp's current business policy on what each type may contain.
Who pays for messages
Business messages may be charged by type and the rules change. Check WhatsApp's current business pricing before planning reminders to a long list.
A way to opt out
Add a line to promotional messages saying how to stop. Mark the customer as opted out the same day and do not message them again with offers.
A human reply path
Name who answers and when. A customer asking whether a food suits her dog's stomach should be sent to her vet, not guessed at.

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.

Is a broadcast list enough for our customers, or do we need the API?
Broadcast lists work for a few hundred known customers who have saved your number. Move to the API when several staff share the inbox, or you want reminders linked to your customer list and bills.
Should we make WhatsApp groups for customers?
Rarely. Groups for a society's pet owners can work when the admin agrees and you answer questions first. A group of unrelated customers with daily offers gets muted. Use one-to-one messages and a broadcast for reminders.
Our staff use their own numbers. Is that a problem?
It is, when they leave or change phones. Customers' chats belong with the shop's number. Move customers to the shop's own number and give staff shared access to it.
How should we use the catalogue?
List the products people reorder, such as the main foods and litters, with pack size and price. Keep it short and current. A long list nobody updates shows out-of-date prices and stock.
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.
