Case Study: How Ege Çuval Fabrikası Reached 558 Businesses on WhatsApp in 17 Days
Ege Çuval Fabrikası manufactures sacks and ground cover fabric. They started using Paplead on 23 September 2026 for two things: promoting the products on their website and reaching new customers. This post covers the first 17 days with real numbers from their dashboard.
The numbers (23 Sep – 10 Oct 2026)
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Businesses contacted | 558 |
| Conversations with a reply | 214 (about 38%) |
| Messages sent by the assistant | 1,202 |
Replies include automatic greeting messages, so not all 214 conversations are interested buyers.
How it was set up
- 1.Target: construction, landscaping, building and agriculture businesses around İzmir, found on Google Maps.
- 2.First message: a Meta-approved template sent from the factory's own WhatsApp number. It references the business's Google Maps listing, with no links or promotion.
- 3.When they reply: the assistant asks what the business does, understands the need and gives product details. For a landscaping company, for example, it explained the weight and durability of UV-stabilised ground cover and then asked which width they use.
- 4.Routing: wholesale requests go to the factory's phone, retail requests go to the website.
In the customer's words
"We started using it to promote the products we manufacture on our website and to reach new customers. In the first two weeks we reached more than 500 companies from our own number. The assistant answers the replies and sends wholesale requests to our phone and retail requests to our website. We are happy so far."

What we do not know yet
How many of these conversations turned into sales has not been shared yet. Sales happen on the phone and on the website after the conversation, so what the first two weeks measure is reach and replies, not revenue. We will update this post as the numbers come in.
Who can expect similar results
Manufacturers selling to other businesses fit this pattern: prospects are listed on Google Maps, calling them one by one takes time, and most questions after the first contact are similar. If those three things are true for you, the same setup works.
