Courier companies · Logistics

Turn walk-in parcels into monthly accounts with offices and online sellers.

A courier counter lives on two kinds of customer. Walk-ins send a passport application or a box of homemade food to a child studying abroad. Offices, clinics and online sellers ship every day, and one of them is worth many walk-ins over a year.

A 45-minute audit call, a written and scored report within a few working days, then a monthly report against your baseline.

In one paragraph

Courier marketing makes your counter the one a family, an office or an online seller picks to send a parcel or a document. Courier sales turns one-off bookings into accounts with daily pickup and monthly billing. GullySales fixes your Maps listing, writes one clear answer on what can go abroad, and signs up the offices and sellers around you.

Most franchisee counters rely on the brand name on the board to bring people in. The parents sending pickles to Toronto choose whoever explains customs rules with confidence. The law firm next door stays with whoever never misses a pickup, and neither of them was ever asked for a monthly account.

How buyers decide

How courier companies are chosen.

For personal shipments, the search is courier near me or send food parcel to Canada. The sender compares nearby counters on Google Maps and JustDial, calls for a rate, and visits the closest one with good reviews. Parents sending pickles, sweets or medicines abroad want to know what is allowed, so the parcel is not held at customs. Rakhi and Diwali bring a surge of gift parcels.

Offices and professionals choose a courier for reliability. A CA firm, a law office or a hospital needs daily pickups, proof of delivery and a monthly GST bill. They start with whoever the previous manager used, and switch the day a legal document is delayed. The admin head decides, with accounts involved for credit terms.

Online sellers compare slab rates, pincode coverage and how fast cash on delivery money comes back. Many weigh a shipping aggregator app against a direct courier account. A local operator wins them with a pickup at the same hour every day and a person who answers when a shipment is stuck.

The problem

What usually goes wrong for courier companies.

What owners tell us on the first call, in their words.

  • We depend on walk-ins and the brand name on our board

    Our franchise counter gets passers-by, but we have no plan to win the offices and sellers in the buildings around us.

  • International customers ask questions we answer differently each time

    One staff member says pickles are fine, another says they are not, and the customer loses trust before booking.

  • Online sellers left us for a shipping aggregator

    A seller who shipped daily moved to an app with lower slab rates, and we did not know until their pickups stopped.

  • Missed pickups cost us office accounts

    One late pickup for a legal document and a law firm moved to another courier without telling us.

  • Our Google listing still shows the old address

    We moved the counter last year, and people searching for a courier nearby are sent to a closed shop.

  • Rakhi and Diwali are chaos and the rest of the year is slow

    Queues run out of the door for a few weeks, then the counter is quiet, and we have no list of those festival customers to bring back.

What we do

What we do for courier companies.

Everything included for courier companies, and the result each part is there to produce.

  1. Google Business Profile for your counter

    A correct address, pin, hours, services, international destinations and real photos of the counter and packing, with the brand name used as your franchise agreement allows.

    Result: People searching for a courier nearby are sent to your door, not a closed shop.

  2. International shipping guide

    A page and a WhatsApp message on what can be sent to your main destination countries, packing rules and how customs duty works at the other end. We check it with you against current carrier rules.

    Result: Staff give the same answer every time, and customers book with confidence.

  3. Rate reply routine on WhatsApp

    Quick replies with weight slabs, destination rates and packing charges, and a named person to answer during counter hours.

    Result: A rate enquiry becomes a booking before the customer calls another counter.

  4. Business account offer

    A one-page offer for offices and sellers with daily pickup times, monthly GST billing, proof of delivery, escalation contact and rates by volume.

    Result: You can walk into any office nearby with something they can approve.

  5. Customer and account register

    A record of walk-in customers who send abroad, and business accounts with monthly volume, pickup issues and payment status.

    Result: You know who to message before the next festival and which account is slipping.

  6. Review and complaint routine

    A review request after delivery confirmation, and a calm reply for every complaint about delays, with a note of what was done.

    Result: Recent, answered reviews show a counter that takes responsibility.

  7. Festival sender list

    The names and destinations of everyone who shipped with you at Rakhi and Diwali, kept with their consent, and a message planned for the same weeks next year.

    Result: Last year's queue becomes next year's early bookings.

How the result is measured

  • Enquiries by source, including Maps, WhatsApp and walk-ins
  • Reply time on rate enquiries
  • International shipments per month
  • Active business accounts
  • Monthly volume per account
  • Reviews and complaint reply rate

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

Priority campaigns

Campaigns for what courier companies most want to sell.

Each one planned around when your buyers decide, and measured against the baseline.

  • Rakhi international parcel campaign

    A local campaign and WhatsApp message to past senders several weeks before Raksha Bandhan, with last booking dates for each destination.

    Result: Families book early and choose you over the queue at another counter.

  • Diwali sweets and gifts abroad campaign

    Packing guidance and last shipping dates for Diwali parcels to the USA, UK, Canada and the Gulf, promoted to local families and apartment groups.

    Result: Festival parcels are booked in a planned way, not all in the last week.

  • Student intake season campaign

    Content and outreach before the August and January university intakes on sending documents, books and food to students abroad.

    Result: Parents of students going abroad become repeat senders for years.

  • Office account drive

    A visit plan and offer for offices, clinics and CA and law firms within your pickup area, with a trial month of daily pickups.

    Result: Regular, billed accounts replace some of the reliance on walk-ins.

  • Online seller onboarding campaign

    Outreach to local sellers on Instagram, Amazon and Flipkart with slab rates, cash on delivery terms and a packing service.

    Result: Small sellers ship through you daily with a person they can call.

Beyond search

Where we reach buyers of courier companies, beyond Google.

Search matters, but it is rarely the only way this industry's buyers find a supplier.

  • Offices and business centres nearby

    We build a list of offices, co-working spaces and business centres in your pickup radius and prepare the account offer and a visit script.

  • Study abroad consultants and colleges

    We prepare a partnership with overseas education consultants whose students need documents and parcels sent abroad.

  • Home-based and Instagram sellers

    We identify local online sellers and prepare a shipping offer with pickup and packing support.

  • Apartment associations and community groups

    We prepare a festival shipping notice and an international guide that residents can share on society WhatsApp groups.

  • CA firms, lawyers and hospitals

    We prepare an outreach note on document courier with proof of delivery and a reliable daily pickup for professional offices.

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • You need enquiries by next week and have nobody to answer them.
  • You want posts and reach reported, not enquiries and orders.

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

    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.

    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 courier companies ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Can a franchisee counter do its own marketing?
Yes, for your own counter and locality, within the brand's franchise rules on logos and offers. We check those rules with you and focus on your listing, local accounts and repeat customers.
How do we compete with shipping aggregators for online sellers?
With service they do not give: pickup from the seller's door on a fixed time, help with packing, and a person who answers when a shipment is stuck. Many small sellers value that over a slightly lower slab rate.
What should we tell customers about sending food abroad?
What the carrier and the destination country allow, how it must be packed and labelled, and that customs at the other end may hold or charge duty. We write a guide with you from current carrier rules so every staff member says the same thing.
Is it worth chasing office accounts for a small counter?
Yes. An office that ships a few documents every day can be worth more over a year than many walk-ins, and it pays on a predictable monthly bill.
How do we get more reviews from walk-in customers?
Ask when you share the tracking number or confirm delivery, with a direct link on WhatsApp. People are happiest to review once their parcel has arrived safely.
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.
