Mobile app development companies · WhatsApp marketing

Turn the late-night WhatsApp message into a scoped conversation.

WhatsApp marketing for an app studio covers how a business account greets a founder, qualifies the idea and keeps a quote moving through chat. GullySales works on the reply flow, the saved answers and the consent practices that keep messages 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 mobile app development companies

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

  • “Founders message at odd hours and read replies at once”

    A buyer typing at night expects a reply that shows someone read the message. An opening that thanks them and asks one question about users keeps the thread alive until the team is back.

  • “Voice notes arrive as a pitch and leave as a blur”

    Some founders explain the idea by voice. Someone has to listen, write down the idea, users and platforms, and confirm it back in text so both sides share the same understanding.

  • “A shared number loses the history”

    When a studio uses one personal phone or a number passed between developers, a thread disappears with the person. A business account with labels keeps each brief traceable.

  • “Broadcasting to old enquiries risks irritation”

    A message to everyone who ever asked about an app reads as spam. Contact only people who have agreed to hear from you, and say why you are writing and how to stop messages.

What we do

What we deliver for mobile app development companies.

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

  1. A business account set up properly

    Profile, catalogue of app types, greeting, away message and labels for stages, so every thread is sorted.

    Result: Your WhatsApp Business profile states what you build and how to start.

  2. Saved replies for common questions

    Short answers on ownership, upkeep, process and what you need from the buyer, written to be edited, not pasted blindly.

    Result: A set of saved replies the whole team uses.

  3. A voice-note handling routine

    A step where the receiver summarises the idea in text and asks the buyer to confirm it.

    Result: Each voice note produces a written line in the enquiry log.

  4. A consent and opt-out practice

    Wording that asks permission before sending updates and gives a clear way to stop, aligned with the platform's current rules.

    Result: You can show how each contact agreed to hear from you.

  5. A hand-off between chat and call

    A rule for when a thread moves to a scoping call and how the notes return to the record.

    Result: Every scoping call is booked from a chat, and its notes go back into the log.

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.

Who it is for

This is written for these mobile app development companies.

  • First-time founders building a consumer app with a small seed budget
  • Restaurants, salons and retail chains wanting their own ordering or loyalty app
  • Clinics and diagnostic chains wanting a booking and report-delivery app
  • Schools and coaching institutes wanting a parent and student app
  • Logistics and field-service companies needing an app for drivers and technicians
  • Startups needing an MVP before a funding conversation
  • Companies replacing an app a previous vendor abandoned
  • Overseas clients outsourcing app builds to an Indian studio

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 we run broadcast campaigns for our studio?
Only to people who have agreed to receive them, and in line with the platform's current rules for business messaging. For a studio with a small client base, personal follow-ups do more than a broadcast.
Should we use the WhatsApp Business API?
Consider it when several people handle chats and you need records and automation. A small studio can start with the Business app. Choose a provider carefully and check what it charges before you commit.
How do we avoid sounding like a bot?
Use the buyer's name, refer to what they said and ask a real question. Automated greetings are fine if a person takes over soon. A reply that ignores the idea gives the game away.
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.
