Online fashion stores · WhatsApp marketing

Sell where the shopper already asks about the size.

WhatsApp marketing for an online fashion store means using the shopper's own chat app for catalogue sharing, order confirmation and new-drop alerts with their consent. GullySales sets up the business profile, the saved replies, the broadcast rules and the tracking of which chats become orders.

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 online fashion stores

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

  • “The chat is where trust is tested”

    A first-time buyer from a small label messages to see whether a real person answers. The speed, tone and detail of the first reply are part of the product, and the buyer judges the brand on them.

  • “A broadcast to a purchased list backfires”

    Messaging people who never agreed brings blocks and reports, and can put the number at risk. A smaller list of shoppers who opted in earns more attention and protects the account.

  • “Catalogue sharing needs a structure”

    Sending a long run of photographs in a thread helps nobody. A catalogue with named items, prices and a size note lets the shopper browse, and lets the team see which items they asked about.

  • “Orders taken in chat need a record”

    A payment screenshot and an address typed into a chat can be lost in a long thread. Orders taken this way must move into the store or sheet, or dispatch and returns will go wrong.

What we do

What we deliver for online fashion stores.

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

  1. Business profile and catalogue setup

    A complete business profile with a product catalogue, greeting, away message and quick replies for size, price and exchange.

    Result: A shopper opening your chat sees a catalogue and a greeting.

  2. Consent and list rules

    Opt-in wording on the website, checkout and chat, and a rule against adding people to broadcast lists without their agreement.

    Result: Your list records how and when each person opted in.

  3. Broadcast plan for drops

    Drafted messages for new arrivals, restocks and festive collections, each short, with one link and a way to stop.

    Result: Each broadcast is written and approved before it is sent.

  4. Order capture routine

    A step that moves chat orders into the store or order sheet with address, size and payment status.

    Result: Every chat order appears in the order record.

  5. Chat-to-order tracking

    A tag on each chat showing its source and outcome, so the team learns which ads and posts bring buyers.

    Result: A sheet shows how many chats from each source ended in an 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.

What to capture or send

The messages on WhatsApp that carry a fashion shopper from a question to a delivered parcel.

Catalogue link for the garment asked about
A direct product link or a catalogue section sent in reply, with sizes in stock. It beats a long list of photographs and records the interest.
Photo of the fabric in daylight
A short real photograph or clip of the piece, taken by the team, sent at the shopper's request. Colour doubts are settled here before the payment.
Order confirmation with size and address
A message restating style, size, price and address for the shopper to confirm. It is the record to use if a dispute or a wrong size comes later.
Dispatch and tracking note
A message with the courier name and tracking link once the parcel leaves. It answers where is my order before the shopper has to ask.
New drop alert to consenting shoppers
A short note on a release, sent only to those who opted in, with an easy way to stop. Check the platform's current rules before any bulk sending.

Who it is for

This is written for these online fashion stores.

  • Women's ethnic wear labels selling on Instagram
  • Western wear and casual wear D2C brands
  • Men's fashion brands with their own website
  • Kids' clothing and school wear online
  • Footwear and accessories sold online
  • Sustainable, handloom and craft-led labels
  • WhatsApp and Instagram-only boutiques
  • Sellers on Myntra, Amazon and Flipkart building their own channel

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • Your numbers come from a purchased list or a marketplace export, and messaging them would put the business number at risk.
  • Your replies are slower than a day, and a chat shopper will have moved to a marketplace before an answer arrives.

Before you decide

Agree the work. Know how to judge it.

WhatsApp marketing for online fashion stores: 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.

Tell us what you need
Do we need the WhatsApp Business API?
It suits larger volumes and automated messages, and it comes with provider charges and approval steps. A small label may run well on the Business app first. Check the current rules before choosing.
Can we add customers to a broadcast list from our order data?
Only if they agreed to receive messages from you. If the checkout box did not ask, start by asking them in a service message and add those who say yes.
Can staff use their personal numbers?
They should not. Use the label's business number so chats stay with the company when a team member leaves, and give staff access through a shared tool or linked devices.
Can we sell directly on WhatsApp without a website?
Yes, for a small label, using the catalogue and a payment link, but keep a record of every order in one sheet or tool. Chat orders get lost when a staff phone changes. A simple store later saves effort once the order count grows.
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.
