Car dealers · Digital marketing
Three businesses under one roof compete for the same monthly budget.
A dealership is a new car showroom, a used car yard and a workshop, and each has a different buyer. GullySales sets what the month's budget does for each, times the campaigns to launches and delivery dates, and puts every enquiry into one report.
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 car dealers
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Festival spending has to stop before the festival”
If a booking cannot be delivered on the auspicious day, advertising in that week buys disappointment. Work backwards from the stock in the yard and the registration queue.
“The workshop pays the bills and gets no marketing”
Service brings steady revenue and the customers who will upgrade, yet the budget goes to new car campaigns. A service camp campaign costs little and feeds the showroom.
“Co-op money comes with paperwork”
Part of the spend can be claimed back when the creative, the disclaimers and the proof file follow the brand's rules. Claims are refused over the fine print far more often than over the idea.
“Used cars need a plan and usually get leftovers”
That buyer is comparing organised platforms with inspection reports and return windows. Photographs, listings and an inspection summary do more here than any campaign.
What we do
What we deliver for car dealers.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A quarter plan across all three businesses
What the new car, used car and service sides each get in money and attention, set out month by month.
Result: The workshop stops being an afterthought.
Campaigns timed to delivery, not to the festival
The stock position, the registration queue and the delivery dates read before a festival campaign is booked.
Result: You sell only what can be delivered on the date.
Co-op claims prepared alongside the campaign
Creative approvals, disclaimers, invoices and proof files gathered as the campaign runs, in the format your regional office requires.
Result: The claim gets paid rather than refused.
A used car plan of its own
Photograph standards, inspection summaries, weekly price reviews and the portals worth listing on.
Result: Cars move out of the yard faster.
A service camp calendar
Camps and reminders timed to the monsoon, the festival and each model's service intervals, with the upgrade question attached.
Result: Service work fills the bays and feeds the showroom.
One report across every enquiry
New car, used car and service enquiries by source, with time to first call, test drives, bookings and deliveries, against the baseline.
Result: The whole dealership is read on one page.
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.
One office, and we say so
