Supermarkets · WhatsApp marketing
Put the weekend offer on the phone before the family decides where to shop.
WhatsApp marketing for a supermarket means sending offers, delivery updates and festival lists to families who agreed to hear from the store. GullySales works on the account, the message templates and the rules that keep it 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 supermarkets
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Families already order by WhatsApp”
A household sends a grocery list to the store it trusts, and expects a reply with the total and a delivery slot. A business number with a clear greeting and a trained person behind it takes those orders in an orderly way.
“An offer is read only if it suits the family”
A message about a baby-care scheme sent to a household without children is noise. Sending each group only what matches its usual basket keeps the store's messages opened.
“Consent and frequency decide whether the number survives”
Families who did not agree, or who receive too many messages, block or report the number. Record permission, keep messages few and make the stop instruction obvious. Check the platform's current rules.
“A reply must arrive while the buyer is deciding”
A buyer asking whether an item is in stock expects an answer while still deciding. A named person on the chat during shop hours, with set answers for common queries, keeps the order.
What we do
What we deliver for supermarkets.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A WhatsApp Business account set up properly
Business name, profile, catalogue of staples, greeting and away message, linked to the store listing.
Result: A new family sees a store profile and a clear greeting.
Message templates for offers and delivery
Short templates for the weekend offer, the festival list and the delivery confirmation, written for consenting families.
Result: Staff send approved wording and not improvised text.
Segments from the register
Groups by locality and usual basket, so each message reaches households it suits.
Result: Each template has a named group.
An order-taking routine
A simple way to take a list, confirm the total and slot, and hand it to the packing desk.
Result: An order from chat reaches the packer without retyping.
A permission and opt-out record
A note of when and how each family agreed, and how to stop messages.
Result: Every number on the list has a recorded permission.
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.
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.
