Acupuncture centres · WhatsApp marketing

Answer the first question on WhatsApp and the booking follows in the same thread.

WhatsApp marketing for an acupuncture centre is the use of WhatsApp Business to answer questions, confirm bookings and keep patients on their course. GullySales sets up the account, the saved replies and the consent wording, and writes messages the front desk can send.

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 acupuncture centres

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

  • “The patient asks on WhatsApp because a call feels like too much”

    A nervous first-timer would rather type a question about needles than phone and speak to a stranger. A centre that replies on WhatsApp in a warm, clear way meets the patient where they feel comfortable, and the thread becomes the booking.

  • “A saved reply beats a retyped answer”

    The same questions come in repeatedly: where is the centre, is it painful, how many sessions, what should I wear. Saved replies written with the practitioner give the same accurate answer every time and leave the desk free to add a personal line.

  • “Broadcasts without consent create complaints”

    Sending an offer to everyone in the phone book annoys people who never agreed to hear from the centre. A patient who opted in for appointment messages has not opted in for promotions. Check the platform's current rules and keep a record of agreement.

  • “Patient photographs and reports arrive in the thread”

    Patients send scans, prescriptions and photographs of the painful area. Those belong to the practitioner's records, not the chat history of a phone shared by the desk. The centre needs a rule for where they go and who may see them.

What we do

What we deliver for acupuncture centres.

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

  1. A WhatsApp Business profile set up properly

    Business name, description, address, hours and catalogue of services, matched to the website and the map listing.

    Result: The profile looks the same as the rest of your presence.

  2. Saved replies for the common questions

    Written answers on the first visit, hygiene, location and cost approach, approved by the practitioner.

    Result: The desk answers consistently in a few taps.

  3. A booking flow inside the chat

    A simple sequence from question to slot to confirmation, with the details the practitioner needs recorded.

    Result: A conversation ends with a confirmed time.

  4. Consent wording for opt-in

    Text for asking permission for reminders and updates, and a way for the patient to stop them.

    Result: You can show who agreed to hear from you.

  5. A rule for reports and photographs

    A written instruction on where patient-sent files are saved and who may open them.

    Result: Patient files do not stay in the chat history.

  6. Appointment reminders by message

    A reminder written for each booked session, sent from the business number.

    Result: Patients get a clear note about the next visit.

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.

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.

Your brief

Tell us what you need, and we will read it before we call.

Eight short steps about your business, what you want and who decides. Most questions are a tap, and you can skip any you would rather answer on the call.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Can we send offers to our contact list?
Only to people who agreed to receive them, and only within the platform's current rules. For a health service, advertising rules differ by profession and state, so ask your own adviser before any promotional message.
Should the practitioner use their personal number?
No. A business number keeps patient conversations with the centre and survives a change of staff. GullySales sets up the business account so the thread belongs to the practice, not one person's phone.
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.
