Sportswear stores · WhatsApp marketing

Turn the jersey chat into a quote, a mock-up and an order.

WhatsApp marketing for a sportswear store is using the app where coaches, parents and players already ask about stock, size and team kit, with a catalogue, saved replies and a record of each chat. GullySales works on the setup and the replies, and on the consent rules for sending messages.

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 sportswear stores

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

  • “The coach asks three shops and picks the clearest”

    A rate typed into a chat is easy to lose and hard to compare. A reply with a rate sheet, a mock-up and a date is easier for a committee, and the shop that sends it is the one remembered.

  • “Parents ask the same questions every week”

    Is this size in stock, is there an exchange, when does the shop close. Saved replies and a short catalogue answer these and leave staff free for the fitting.

  • “A personal number loses the history”

    When an enquiry sits on one staff member's phone, a change of staff or a lost phone ends the conversation. A business number shared by the team keeps the history with the shop.

  • “Broadcasts to a bought list backfire”

    Messages sent to people who never asked for them are blocked or reported. A smaller list of customers who opted in, grouped by sport, gets read and answered.

What we do

What we deliver for sportswear stores.

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

  1. A WhatsApp Business setup

    Business profile, opening hours, a catalogue of the lines you stock and a greeting that asks the sport and the need.

    Result: The first reply asks what the buyer needs.

  2. Saved replies for the common questions

    Answers on size, stock, exchange, team orders and location, written in your shop's voice.

    Result: Staff reply the same way every time.

  3. A team order flow

    A set of messages that collects quantity, colours, names and numbers, then sends a rate sheet and a mock-up request.

    Result: A coach gets one organised reply.

  4. Opt-in lists by sport

    A way to ask customers to join updates for running, cricket, badminton or gym wear, with consent recorded.

    Result: You message only people who agreed, about their sport.

  5. Chat records linked to the customer list

    Each important chat noted in the customer record with the next step.

    Result: A second staff member can pick up any chat.

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.

Can we send offers to everyone who ever messaged us?
Only to those who agreed to receive them. Ask for permission, record it and let people leave the list. Check the platform's current rules for business messages before you send.
Should staff use their own phones?
A shared business number is better. It keeps the history with the shop and lets more than one person answer, so a coach is never waiting for a single person.
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.
