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.
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.

Sales and marketing for building material dealers, the overview.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
03 · Before work starts
Baseline recorded
Enquiries by source, reply time, conversion and cost per order, written down so every later month has an honest comparison.
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.
05 · Every month
Report against the baseline
What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words.
06 · Month 3 to 6
Renew on the numbers
The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. No twelve-month lock.

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.
