Stationery stores · WhatsApp marketing
Let parents send the kit list on WhatsApp and get a clear answer back.
WhatsApp marketing for a stationery shop is the use of a business number to take lists, confirm stock, share kit bundles and remind past buyers. GullySales works on the setup, the replies and the lists you send to.
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 stationery stores
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The list arrives as a photograph”
Parents photograph the school list and send it. A business number with labels and a shared inbox lets staff read it, mark items and reply, instead of passing a phone around the counter.
“A catalogue answers the first question”
Messages ask whether an item is available. A WhatsApp Business catalogue with kits, art material and print services answers before staff type a word.
“Broadcasts work only for people who asked”
A message to past buyers at the start of the term is welcome. A flood of offers to everyone is blocked. Keeping the list to people who dealt with the shop, and sending little, protects the number.
What we do
What we deliver for stationery stores.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A WhatsApp Business setup
Profile, hours, greeting and away message set so the number looks like the shop and answers when closed.
Result: A parent who messages after hours gets a reply.
A catalogue of kits and services
Kit bundles, art sets and print services listed with plain names.
Result: Customers see what you offer without asking.
Labels and saved replies
Labels for list received, pending, ready and delivered, plus saved replies for common questions.
Result: Staff can see where every list stands.
A consent-based broadcast list
A list of past buyers who agreed to hear from you, grouped by parent, school and office.
Result: You message only people who expect it.
A reopening and exam message plan
Short messages written for the start of term, projects and exams.
Result: The right message goes out before each rush.

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.
