Building material dealers · Digital marketing

Decide what the yard does every morning before buying any advertising.

Digital marketing for a building material dealer puts the morning rate message, the Maps listing, the painter programme and a little advertising in order. GullySales writes that plan around your delivery radius and your stock, and reports each month against the baseline taken first.

A steam traction engine belted across a stackyard to a wooden threshing machine: the long flat belt taut between the flywheel and the drive pulley, the flywheel spinning, a straw elevator raking up off the far end, a full sack hanging on the sack spout, a corn stack half taken down behind and a water cart standing by

What digital marketing means

Digital marketing is the combined work of search, social media, advertising and website channels running together rather than as separate projects with separate people. GullySales runs these as one connected system so a change in one channel, such as a new offer, is reflected everywhere at once.

For building material dealers

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

  • The daily message beats the monthly campaign

    A rate list at half past eight reaches the people who buy that day. No advert in your area does that.

  • Trades and owners need separate effort

    A painter is won at the counter and on his phone. An owner is won on Maps and on a page about waterproofing.

  • Credit is part of the marketing decision

    Chasing volume from contractors who pay in ninety days is a way to grow the ledger, not the business.

What we do

What we deliver for building material dealers.

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

  1. A plan split between the trade and the owner

    What reaches contractors, mestris and painters, and what reaches house owners and apartment committees, written separately with the effort each one needs.

    Result: Two different buyers stop being chased with one message.

  2. A morning routine for rates and stock

    Who sends the rate message, at what time, to which list, and what is said when a brand is out of stock, set down so it survives a busy week.

    Result: The message goes out even on the day the yard is chaotic.

  3. A month-by-month calendar for your region

    Waterproofing before the rains, paint before the festival season, and steady stage-wise calling through the building months, with the slow weeks marked.

    Result: The yard stops doing everything in the same week.

  4. A budget split with what each part is for

    What goes to the Maps listing and search pages, to a small advert budget, to the painter programme and to signage, with what each is expected to bring.

    Result: Money stops going to whoever walked into the yard selling it.

  5. A monthly report on orders and collection

    Orders by source, materials sold per site, repeat contractor accounts and days taken to collect, all set against the figures recorded before work began.

    Result: You see whether the yard is growing or only lending.

How the result is measured

  • Enquiries across channels
  • Cost per enquiry overall
  • Channel mix by contribution

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, then reported every month against it.

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • You want a guaranteed Google ranking or a guaranteed number of leads. Nobody honest can promise either.
  • You need enquiries by next week and have nobody to answer them.
  • You want posts and reach reported, not enquiries and orders.

How it works

From your first message to the first monthly report.

No open-ended retainer. Each step has a point in time and something you receive.

  1. 01 · Day 1

    Free audit call

    45 minutes with whoever handles your enquiries: how they arrive, how fast they are answered, where they are lost.

  2. 02 · Within a few working days

    Written, scored report

    Six areas scored, fixes ranked by return and cost. If you want our help, the scope and fee come with it, in writing.

    Baseline recorded

    Enquiries by source, reply time, conversion and cost per order, written down so every later month has an honest comparison.

  4. 04 · Month 1

    The first fix goes live

    Usually the cheapest one on the report: reply time, a follow-up sequence or the marketing-to-sales handover.

  5. 05 · Every month

    Report against the baseline

    What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words.

  6. 06 · Month 3 to 6

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 monthly 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 lock-in, no guarantees we cannot keep

    Three to six months at a time. 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.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

We are one yard with one lorry. Is all this too much?
Start with the rate message, the Maps listing and one record of enquiries. Those three need no budget and change the week more than any campaign.
Should we be on a marketplace portal?
Only if you sell beyond your town or in bulk to builders, and only if somebody replies within the hour. For a local yard, Maps and a good WhatsApp list bring more orders.
Can marketing work when customers only care about the rate?
Rate matters, but delivery time, stock and credit decide many orders. A daily rate message sent before buyers ask, and a call before each site stage, wins orders that a lower rate from a stranger does not.
How do we stop credit from getting out of hand?
Agree the credit period at the time of order and record it against the site and contractor. We set up reminders that go out before the due date, so collection starts as a routine message rather than an awkward call.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped in the free audit and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
How long is the contract?
Three to six months at a time. There is no twelve-month lock, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
How soon will we see results?
Fixes to reply time, follow-up and your Google Business Profile usually show in weeks, because the enquiries already exist. Ads show in days once follow-up is ready. SEO and content take months. The audit tells you which applies to you.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you meet on the audit call. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
For the audit, last month's enquiries in any format and 45 minutes with whoever handles them. After that, access to the accounts the work touches, such as the website, Google Business Profile or CRM, and time for the monthly review.
