Sweet shops · WhatsApp marketing

Take the festival order on the app your customers already open every hour.

WhatsApp marketing for a sweet shop means using a business number, a catalogue and broadcast lists to take enquiries and orders where your customers already chat. GullySales works on the catalogue, the replies and the lists, within the platform's current rules.

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 sweet shops

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

  • “Your buyers already message you”

    The regular asks for the usual box on WhatsApp, the corporate admin asks for a price, and the sender abroad asks for a photograph. The channel is already open, and what is missing is order in how it is used.

  • “A catalogue beats forwarded photographs”

    Pictures from the phone gallery, each with a price typed underneath, look different every time. A WhatsApp Business catalogue shows each box with its price, contents and a button to ask, in the same format.

  • “A broadcast list is permission, not a blast”

    A message sent to people who have not agreed to hear from you is ignored or reported. A list of customers who asked for festival updates receives the booking notice gladly, and replies to it.

  • “Replies at night and during rush hours slip”

    A message arrives at eleven when the shop is shut, and another in the middle of the evening rush. An automatic first reply that gives hours and a booking link keeps the buyer from moving on.

What we do

What we deliver for sweet 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 and catalogue

    The business number set up with hours, address and a catalogue of boxes with prices and contents.

    Result: A buyer sees a neat catalogue without being sent photographs.

  2. Quick replies for common questions

    Saved answers on price, weight, delivery area, shelf life and booking dates.

    Result: Staff reply in the same words each time.

  3. An opt-in festival list

    A list of customers who agreed to hear about festival boxes, kept separate from other contacts.

    Result: Messages go only to people who asked.

  4. An away message and greeting

    A first reply for after-hours messages with opening time and how to book.

    Result: Late enquiries receive an answer.

  5. Order confirmation messages

    A standard confirmation with items, date, advance and address for bulk and function orders.

    Result: Both sides hold the same written order.

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.

Can I send festival offers to everyone in my phone?
No. Send them to customers who agreed to receive them, and give a clear way to stop. Check the platform's current rules on business messaging, because misuse can lead to your number being restricted.
Do I need the paid business API?
Not for a single shop. The free business app with a catalogue and quick replies covers a single shop's needs. The API suits chains with several staff handling a heavy chat load, and we look at it only if you reach that point.
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.
