Answer the AC enquiry on WhatsApp while the family is still choosing a shop.

WhatsApp marketing for an electronics store means using a business number to answer enquiries, send quotes and installation updates, and reach past buyers who agreed to hear from you. GullySales sets up the number, the replies and the permission rules.

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 electronics and appliance stores

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

“Buyers send a photo of the model, not a question”
A family forwards a screenshot of an AC listing and asks if the store matches it. A reply needs the brand, the tonnage, the price and the installation terms in one message, not a request to call the showroom.
“The shop number is also the family's complaint line”
Once an appliance is installed, the buyer messages the same number about a leak or a remote that does not work. If those messages sit unread beside sales enquiries, the next recommendation to a neighbour is lost.
“A broadcast to everyone gets the store muted”
A daily catalogue sent to the full contact list teaches families to ignore the shop. A message sent to a household with an old refrigerator, offering an exchange, reads as help.
“Permission is part of the work”
Customers who gave their number for a bill did not necessarily agree to offers. A clear opt-in at the billing desk and an easy way to stop messages keep the list usable, and the platform's current rules on business messages apply.

What we do

What we deliver for electronics and appliance stores.

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

WhatsApp Business setup
A business profile with store name, address, hours, catalogue of priority products and a greeting that tells buyers what to send.
Result: A buyer who messages the number gets a clear first reply.
Quote reply templates
Saved replies for price matches, EMI plans, exchange queries and installation terms, written for ACs, televisions and washing machines.
Result: Staff answer a listing screenshot in one message.
Installation update messages
Booking confirmation, technician details and a follow-up after the visit, sent from the same number.
Result: Buyers are told when the technician will arrive.
Opt-in at the billing desk
A short consent question at billing and a record of who said yes, with an easy stop option on every message.
Result: Offers go only to households that agreed to receive them.
Season and exchange messages
Offers for the AC season, festival upgrades and old-appliance exchange, sent to the relevant households only.
Result: Each message has a reason a household recognises.

What to capture or send

The WhatsApp messages an appliance store sends and the details each one records.

Reply to a screenshot of a listing: Answer with brand, tonnage, price, installation terms and stock in one message. Note the model in the customer record so the next message knows what was asked.
Installation date confirmation: Send the date, the technician's name and the arrival window the day before. It saves a missed visit and keeps complaints off the Google listing.
Opt-in at the billing desk: Ask the family whether they want offers, and record yes or no beside the number. A number given for a bill is not consent for promotions.
Exchange offer for an old appliance: Sent only to a household whose record shows an old refrigerator or washing machine. Name the model and the exchange value the store can honour.
Service request after installation: A fixed reply that asks for the bill number and a photo of the fault. It routes a complaint to the service desk instead of the sales counter.
Festival stock note: One short message to opted-in customers with the models in stock. A daily catalogue gets the shop muted, so send it once for each festival.

Who it is for

This is written for these electronics and appliance stores.

Multi-brand consumer electronics showrooms
Home appliance stores
Mobile phone and accessories retailers
Home theatre and audio specialists
Telecom counters selling SIM, broadband and DTH connections
Brand-exclusive stores run by franchisees
Kitchen appliance and small appliance retailers
Electronics stores with service and repair centres

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

Nobody can read the shop number during the AC rush, so messages would sit unread beside sales enquiries
You hold no record of who agreed to messages, and the store would be sending offers to numbers given only for a bill

How it works

How the whatsapp marketing work runs

The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.

1
Read the chats you already have
We read how customers write to you, which questions repeat and where a chat goes quiet. The repeated questions decide what gets automated first.
2
Sort the list and the permission
Contacts who asked to hear from you are separated from numbers that only sit in a phone book. We agree the wording new contacts will see before they say yes.
3
Choose the app or the API
One phone and a small team can stay on the ordinary app. Several people on one number, templates or a CRM link need the API through a provider, which is its own piece of setup work.
4
Write the replies and the plan
The greeting, away message, saved replies and handover rule are written in your words and approved by you. The message plan and its templates follow.
5
Connect the record and test
Each link carries its source line and each chat lands in the CRM. We test on real phones, including a customer who asks for a person.
6
Read the unanswered questions
A question the first reply could not answer becomes a new saved reply or a fixed handover. Stop requests are watched too, with the number's quality rating where the API is used, since both show a message plan that has gone too far.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 0, foundation. The audit comes before it, and sales management keeps it running.

Step 1
Sales audit
Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.
Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.
Step 2 · you are here
Sales process design
One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.
Start here if every salesperson sells differently.
Step 3
Sales management
A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.
Start here if the team has targets and no routine.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Tell us what you need

Should we use the ordinary app or WhatsApp Business?

Use WhatsApp Business. It gives you a business profile, a catalogue, saved replies and labels for each enquiry. Larger volumes may need the business API through a provider, and the platform's current rules and charges apply.

Can we send offers to every number in our billing data?

Only to people who have agreed to receive them. Add a consent question at the billing desk, keep a record of the answer and stop messaging anyone who asks. Check the platform's current rules before any bulk send.

Who should answer the WhatsApp number in the AC rush?

Name one or two people for it, with the saved replies open. The rush is when unanswered messages cost the most, so the number should never depend on whoever happens to be free on the floor.

Can the same number handle sales and service complaints?

It can, but only with a rule for sorting them. A complaint about a leak needs the service desk, and a sales enquiry needs the counter. Ask for the bill number first, since that single detail tells you which of the two it is.

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.
