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 VLSI and chip design service companies

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

  • “Managers use chat for speed”

    A manager in a hurry may reply to a short WhatsApp where an email waits. Using it for meeting times, document links and quick questions meets the manager where they are.

  • “Design data does not belong in chat”

    Files, screenshots and discussion of a design must stay in controlled channels. A written rule that WhatsApp is for scheduling and pointers protects both sides.

  • “Personal numbers blur the line”

    Engineers who give their personal number to clients create a trail outside company control. A business number or a shared profile keeps records tidy.

  • “Consent applies to broadcast”

    Messaging a list of contacts without permission damages the firm's standing. Collect consent, say what will be sent and follow requests to stop.

What we do

What we deliver for VLSI and chip design service companies.

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

  1. Business profile

    A WhatsApp Business profile with the firm's description, website and contact hours.

    Result: A buyer who opens the chat sees who the firm is.

  2. Use rules

    A one-page rule on what WhatsApp is used for and what must go through secure channels.

    Result: Staff and buyers know the boundary.

  3. Quick reply set

    Saved replies for meeting times, document links and first-call requests.

    Result: Common messages are handled the same way.

  4. Consent capture

    A line on forms and cards asking permission to message, with the record kept in the CRM.

    Result: Every broadcast contact has agreed.

  5. Number policy

    A decision on which numbers are used for client chats and how they are recorded.

    Result: Client chats sit under the firm's control.

  6. Chat logging

    A rule that business chats are noted on the CRM record.

    Result: Conversations are not trapped on 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

What belongs on chat and what does not.

Meeting logistics and call links
Send the link, the time and the people joining. Chat suits this because it is read at once and carries no design data.
A request for a document
Ask for the NDA or the vendor form and say which document is meant. Record the reply in the account, as chat is a poor place to keep it.
A short check on availability
A message asking whether an engineer with a given skill is free to speak with the manager. The reply goes into the record, not left in the thread.
Consent line for updates
Record the manager's agreement before adding them to any list. Say what you will send, such as an event invitation. Check the platform's current rules.
Boundary note for design talk
A fixed reply that asks the sender to move design questions to the agreed secure channel. It protects both sides from leaks.

Who it is for

This is written for these VLSI and chip design service companies.

  • Fabless semiconductor start-ups
  • Product companies building SoCs and embedded boards
  • Global semiconductor firms with India design centres
  • Automotive and electronics firms moving into custom silicon
  • Verification and validation outsourcing buyers
  • Physical design and implementation teams
  • FPGA and prototyping project owners
  • Academia-linked research labs and incubators

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • Your clients forbid chat apps for project talk, and a business number would only tempt a manager to break their own rule.
  • Engineers use personal numbers with buyers, and the company has no record of what has been said.
  • You plan to send marketing broadcasts to managers who never agreed, which would harm the business number and the relationship.

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

    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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.

  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
Is WhatsApp acceptable for a security-conscious buyer?
For scheduling and pointers, yes in some cases, but the buyer's policy decides. Ask first and follow the stricter rule. Keep design material in the channels the NDA names.
Should we send newsletters on WhatsApp?
Only to contacts who agreed, and only if it suits the reader. Some managers prefer email for long notes. Check the platform's current rules before any broadcast.
Do we need the WhatsApp Business API?
Not for a small number of chats. The app is enough. A larger flow of documents and reminders may justify the API, which GullySales can assess with you.
Can design drawings be shared on chat?
No. Block diagrams, netlists and anything derived from a client's design stay off chat, whatever the buyer asks. Offer the agreed secure transfer route and explain that the rule protects their design. A buyer under NDA expects it.
Does the business number need a specific tool?
A business account on the standard app is enough for a few conversations. A larger setup is needed only if several people share one number. Decide the use rules first, since a tool will not fix unclear boundaries.
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.
