Gold and diamond buyers · WhatsApp marketing

Answer a rate enquiry in writing, so the seller can show the family and decide.

WhatsApp marketing for a gold and diamond buyer is the careful use of a business number to answer enquiries, send directions and checklists, and keep in touch with those who agreed. GullySales sets up the replies and the record so each chat becomes a seller you can find again.

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 gold and diamond buyers

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

  • “A written reply travels around a household”

    A seller screenshots your message and shows it to a spouse or parent. A clear message with the shop name, address and what to bring does the persuading when the seller is not in the room.

  • “Photos of jewellery arrive without context”

    Sellers send pictures of items and ask for a figure. Without a standard reply that explains why weighing and testing in person are needed, staff quote loosely and are later accused of changing the price.

  • “The personal phone of a partner is not a business number”

    Enquiries that live on one person's own phone vanish when that person is away. A shared business number with a clear owner for replies keeps the thread.

  • “Broadcast lists can turn trust into annoyance”

    A seller who gave a number for a quote does not expect a stream of rate messages. Messaging only those who agreed, and rarely, protects the reputation the shop depends on.

What we do

What we deliver for gold and diamond buyers.

The work available for this need. We agree the deliverables and responsibilities for your engagement in writing.

  1. A business number set-up

    A WhatsApp Business profile with the shop name, address, hours and a short description, and a catalogue of what you buy.

    Result: The seller sees a proper business, not an unknown number.

  2. Quick replies for staff

    Saved replies for greeting, rate enquiries, photos, directions, documents to bring and closed days.

    Result: Replies are consistent and take seconds.

  3. A photo-enquiry reply

    A reply that thanks the seller, explains that figures are given after weighing and testing in person, and invites them in.

    Result: Staff stop quoting from pictures.

  4. Consent and list rules

    A record of who agreed to receive messages, and a rule never to add anyone to a group without asking.

    Result: Your contact list contains only willing people.

  5. Chat-to-record routine

    A habit of entering each chat in the enquiry record when the counter closes, with the source marked WhatsApp.

    Result: No conversation is left in a phone.

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.

What to capture or send

Answer a rate enquiry in writing a family can read together.

Photograph of the piece
Saved to the chat, labelled with the item type, so the counter can say whether it suits a visit before the seller travels.
What to bring
A short checklist message with the bill, any certificate and identity proof the shop asks for at the counter.
Visit time and the shop's landmark
Sent after the seller confirms, with the street entrance described, so first-time sellers find the door.
A written note that the figure is indicative
The reply states that the final figure depends on testing and weighing in view, so no one feels cheated.
Consent line for later messages
A question at the end of the chat asking if the seller wants to hear from the shop again.

Who it is for

This is written for these gold and diamond buyers.

  • Walk-in old gold buying shops in market lanes and near jewellery streets
  • Cash-for-gold counters and franchise-style buying outlets
  • Jewellers who run an old-gold exchange and buyback desk beside new sales
  • Certified diamond and solitaire buyers who work from a certificate
  • Scrap and bullion buyers who deal with jewellers and manufacturers
  • Silver and coin buyers in temple-town and festival markets
  • Door-to-door and appointment-based buyers who visit the seller's home
  • Pawn brokers who also buy outright

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • Staff reply from their own phones, so the business number comes first.
  • You would invite photographs of identity documents over chat, which should not be done.
  • You plan to broadcast the day's rate to a list that never asked.

Before you decide

Agree the work. Know how to judge it.

WhatsApp marketing for gold and diamond buyers: use these checks to prepare, choose the scope, and review what changes.

Bring the right evidence

Describe how the contact list was collected, what people asked to receive, and which messages are currently sent. Include opt-outs and replies when reviewing campaign performance.

Make the scope clear

Agree the audience, message purpose, sending system, and response owner. Separate promotional communication from order or service updates, and check current platform requirements before launch.

Check the work in use

Test the message with a small appropriate audience before wider use. Check links, reply handling, opt-outs, and whether the response leads to a relevant conversation or order.

Know when to change course

Do not use an unexplained contact list as a shortcut to demand. If recipients do not expect the message, resolve the permission and relevance questions before sending.

These are discussion points, not a fixed package. GullySales confirms the deliverables, responsibilities, fee, and term in writing after reading your brief and speaking with you.

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. 1

    Conversation review and priorities

    You share relevant chats and explain where enquiries stall. We agree which questions belong in the first scope and record the available baseline before changes begin.

  2. 2

    App or API decision

    We compare your reply needs with the current setup. You approve the route, including any separate API setup work, before committing to provider costs.

  3. 3

    Contact and content approval

    Your team confirms which contacts have permission and approves the replies. Clinics and other regulated organisations arrange their own compliance review before messages are used.

  4. 4

    Routing and record agreement

    The person responsible for sales confirms ownership rules and required CRM fields. We identify any wider CRM work that needs a separate scope.

  5. 5

    Testing and release approval

    Test conversations check the reply path and human takeover. You approve release after reviewing the messages and sample records.

  6. 6

    Outcome review and changes

    We review unanswered questions and recorded outcomes against the baseline at the agreed reporting points. Changes to replies or routing return to your nominated approver.

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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Can we send the day's rate on WhatsApp?
Only to people who asked for it, and with care, since the figure goes stale. Check the platform's current rules on business messages and take your adviser's view on rate communication.
Should staff use their own numbers?
No. Use the business number so the thread belongs to the shop. Personal numbers mix private chats with sellers' details and break when staff leave.
What do we do with photos of identity documents sent over chat?
Do not invite them. Ask the seller to bring documents to the counter, and take your adviser's guidance on what must be recorded and where. Delete any that arrive by mistake from shared devices.
Can a quoted figure in chat bind the shop?
State clearly that it is indicative and depends on testing and weighing at the counter. A buyer who reads a figure as a promise will feel cheated when the test differs. Keep the wording factual, save the chat and let staff use the same reply.
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.
