WhatsApp marketing
We organise the WhatsApp side of your Raja Bazaar business: a catalogue of current designs or lots, broadcast lists split between retailers and walk-in families, saved replies for rates, cargo and payment, and order labels so nothing gets lost when a hundred chats arrive in one day before Eid.
On the Business bundle package, from PKR 25,000 per month. Ad spend, if you run ads, is separate.
Why it fits
In Raja Bazaar, WhatsApp already is the order book. Bohar Bazaar wholesalers send design pictures to retailers, Moti Bazaar shops send bridal options to families, and Sarafa Bazaar jewellers share the morning's gold rate with regular buyers. The trouble is that it all runs on one overloaded phone, with design photos drowned in a thousand chats and no record of who ordered what. A WhatsApp Business setup with catalogues, lists and labels turns that habit into something two people can run, and something that survives the ten busiest days of the year.
The work
Examples
Illustrative starting points, not results. The audit decides the real first move.

A bridal quick reply for Moti Bazaar
'Shukriya. Bridal lehnga ki teen range hain — catalogue mein Bridal collection dekh lein. Trial ke liye aana ho to din aur waqt bata dein, hum waqt rakh lenge.'
With WhatsApp Business labels, a catalogue carrying design codes and saved replies for the standard questions. Retailers quote a code, the shop labels the chat ordered, then paid, then dispatched. Two people on linked devices can work one number, which matters most in Raja Bazaar's final ten days before Eid.
Yes, to people who have saved your number and agreed to hear from you. Broadcasts only reach contacts who saved yours, and repeated reports can restrict the account. Raja Bazaar shops should ask at the counter or in the chat before putting anyone on a list.
Pitfalls
The area
Raja Bazaar is the old city's wholesale engine — narrow lanes off Fowara Chowk where cloth, gold and crockery move by the carton, not the piece. Moti Bazaar dresses a large share of the twin cities' brides. Business peaks in the ten days before Eid and goes flat through the monsoon.

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 usFor most Pakistani businesses, not directly in the chat. Customers usually pay by bank transfer, JazzCash or Easypaisa and send a screenshot, and the shop labels the order paid. We set up a saved reply with your account details to make that quick.
Many do, and that is fine. We set up a routine where every voice-note order gets a short written reply confirming design codes and quantities before anything is packed, so mistakes are caught before the cargo leaves.
