WhatsApp marketing
We turn your salon's WhatsApp from a ringing inbox into a booking desk. That means a WhatsApp Business catalogue for every service, quick replies for the five questions asked all day, labels for brides by wedding month, and a polite broadcast to past clients in the slow months between March and August.
On the Business bundle package, from PKR 25,000 per month. Ad spend, if you run ads, is separate.
Why it fits
Almost every salon enquiry in the twin cities ends on WhatsApp, and most begin with 'rate kya hai'. A receptionist typing the same five prices forty times before lunch is the most expensive kind of marketing a salon has. WhatsApp also holds the asset salons usually waste: the number of every woman who has ever booked. A polite message before Eid, or a facial week in a dead July, goes to people who already trust you, which is a very different conversation from a cold advert.

Illustrative starting points, not results. The audit decides the real first move.

A slow-season broadcast
July is our quietest month, so for the next two weeks weekday mornings are kept for facials and hair treatments at a lower rate. Reply with a day and we will hold a slot. Reply STOP to leave this list.
Put the answer where she is already looking. A WhatsApp Business catalogue with every service and a saved quick reply covers most rate questions in one tap, and a 'Rates' highlight on Instagram covers the rest. Your receptionist in F-10 or Saddar then spends her time confirming bookings instead of repeating the same list.
Yes, if they agreed to hear from you and can easily leave. WhatsApp Business broadcasts only reach people who have saved your number, and mass messages to strangers get accounts restricted. Ask permission at the counter, keep messages occasional and useful, and always give a clear way to stop.
Pitfalls
Where
Price
The Business bundle covers setting up and maintaining WhatsApp Business; if you move to the API, any Meta messaging charges are paid to Meta directly.

A local shop, clinic or service that needs to be findable, not just posted.
These are the questions we get on WhatsApp every week, answered the way we would answer them there.
WhatsApp usNot usually. A single-branch salon in Islamabad runs comfortably on the free WhatsApp Business app with labels, quick replies and a catalogue. The paid API is worth discussing only when several people answer at once, or you want automated reminders across branches.
On the free app, reminders are sent by hand from a labelled list, which takes the receptionist a few minutes each evening. Automatic reminders need the WhatsApp API or a booking tool, which we quote separately after seeing how many appointments you run in a day.
