Saree shops · WhatsApp marketing

The saree decision happens in a family chat; your shop should be in it.

WhatsApp marketing for a saree shop is the use of the business app to share catalogues, answer questions and book video calls with buyers who already use it for everything. GullySales works on the catalogue, the replies and the lists that keep the chat useful and welcome.

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 saree shops

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

  • “Photographs get forwarded, so do prices”

    A message sent to one buyer reaches the aunt, the cousin and the bride's friend within minutes. A price or a photograph with no note on weave and date becomes a number in the family group, compared against another shop's number.

  • “A catalogue beats a scroll of photographs”

    Sending a long run of images buries the one the buyer asked about. A catalogue grouped by weave and price range lets the family open what they need, and lets your staff answer without searching their gallery.

  • “Broadcasts need consent and restraint”

    A list built from past buyers who agreed to hear from you is welcome before a festival. A list of numbers collected without asking, or messages sent without a reason, makes the buyer block the shop.

  • “Video calls begin in the chat”

    The out-of-town relative asks to see the saree live. A saved reply that offers a time slot, explains how the call works and states what happens on payment and courier turns that question into a booked view.

What we do

What we deliver for saree shops.

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

  1. A WhatsApp Business profile set up properly

    Business name, address, hours, catalogue and a greeting that asks the occasion and the date.

    Result: The first message from a new buyer is answered with a question.

  2. A catalogue by weave and price range

    Items grouped as Kanchipuram, Banarasi, Mysore silk, cotton and designer, each with a note on source and range.

    Result: A catalogue that answers weave, source and price in one place.

  3. Saved replies for common questions

    Replies for price, availability, returns, video calls and blouse stitching, written in a warm everyday tone.

    Result: Staff send the same clear answers every time.

  4. A consent-based broadcast list

    A list of buyers who agreed to hear from the shop, grouped by occasion and weave, with a way to opt out.

    Result: A list you can message without worry.

  5. A video-call booking step

    A message, a time slot and a payment and courier note that a relative abroad can follow.

    Result: A booked video view in the sheet.

  6. Chat labels tied to the enquiry sheet

    Labels for new, shortlist sent, awaiting date, bought and festival regular.

    Result: Every open chat has a stage you can read.

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.

Your brief

Tell us what you need, and we will read it before we call.

Eight short steps about your business, what you want and who decides. Most questions are a tap, and you can skip any you would rather answer on the call.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Should we use the free app or the API?
A small shop can start with the Business app. The API, with its paid conversations, suits larger shops with several staff; check the platform's current rules and charges before deciding.
Can we send offers to our customers' numbers?
Only to buyers who have agreed to hear from you. Ask politely at the counter, note it on the record and give them an easy way to stop messages.
How do we keep the chat from becoming a long photo stream?
Send a short choice and a question, not the whole stock. Ask the occasion and the range first, then send three pieces that fit.
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.
