Sports equipment shops · WhatsApp marketing

Answer sizing questions and send team quotes on the app your buyers use.

WhatsApp marketing for a sports shop is using the shop's WhatsApp for catalogues, sizing replies, quotes and updates to past buyers. GullySales works on the business profile, a catalogue by sport, reply templates and a list of customers who have agreed to hear from you.

Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

Outdoor and sports goods stores: show a real physical business scene illustrating Item and variant master. Hold each product with its sizes, colours, brand, barcode and price, so every variant has its own stock count and the counter finds the size on the shelf.

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 sports equipment shops

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

  • “The first message is a question about size”

    An enquiry begins with a photo of a product and a short line. A reply that asks age, height, hand and level moves the chat toward a fitting. A reply that gives a price ends it.

  • “A catalogue beats a long list of photos”

    Sending ten photos one by one wastes the buyer's time and your staff's. A catalogue set up by sport, with brand, size range and price, lets the buyer browse and lets staff send one link.

  • “Coaches live in WhatsApp groups”

    A coach who posts a recommendation in a parents' group reaches every family at once. Giving coaches a short message and a sheet they can forward is the simplest way to be named in that group.

  • “Broadcasts need a reason and consent”

    Messaging past buyers about a tournament or a new batch only works if they agreed to receive it and the message is useful. Check the platform's current rules, and keep each message to one purpose.

What we do

What we deliver for sports equipment shops.

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

  1. A business profile set up properly

    Shop name, address, hours, a short description and links to your Maps listing and sport pages.

    Result: A profile a buyer can trust on first contact.

  2. A catalogue by sport

    Products grouped by sport with brand, sizes and price.

    Result: A catalogue staff can share in one tap.

  3. Quick replies for common questions

    Saved replies for sizing, stock, fitting, delivery and team orders.

    Result: Replies that take seconds to send.

  4. A consent list and broadcast plan

    A record of who agreed to messages, with a short plan for tournaments and intakes.

    Result: A list you can message without worry.

  5. A coach forward message

    A short message and sheet a coach can forward to a parents' group.

    Result: A message coaches can send as it stands.

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.

Tell us what you need
Should we use the WhatsApp Business app or the API?
The Business app suits a single shop. The API suits larger volume and needs a provider. We start with the app and say when the volume needs more.
Can we send offers to everyone in our contacts?
Only to people who agreed to hear from you, and within the platform's current rules. We build the list from buyers who opt in at the counter, which keeps the messages welcome.
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.
