State board schools · Digital marketing
Use a few online channels well, in the languages your families read.
Digital marketing for a state board school means the school's site, listing, messages and any paid adverts working together so that a parent can find the school, read the answer and make contact. GullySales sets out which channels are worth the school's time and the order in which to build them.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.
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 state board schools
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“A school does not need every channel”
A district-town school has a limited office and a limited budget. The listing, a simple site and a WhatsApp number come first. Adverts and video follow only if the first three are in good order.
“Online and the gate must say the same thing”
A site that states one fee heading and a notice board that states another costs the school trust. Before anything goes online, the office agrees one set of facts and prints it on both.
“Paid adverts need a destination”
An advert that sends a parent to a home page with no admissions information wastes the spend. If the school does run adverts, they should point to the admissions page and to a number that is answered.
“Digital reach is uneven across families”
Some families in the villages have a shared phone and little time online. A leaflet, a wall painting and a talk at a local meeting still matter, and the digital plan should sit beside them, not replace them.
What we do
What we deliver for state board schools.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A channel order of priority
A short plan naming which channel the school builds first, second and third, with reasons.
Result: The management has one page to approve before spending.
A single source of facts
A one-page sheet of dates, fee headings, timings and contacts that every channel copies from.
Result: The site, listing, card and messages show matching details.
An advert plan, if wanted
Where the school chooses to advertise, the audience, the wording and the landing page, set against a budget the management has agreed.
Result: Each advert points to a page that answers the parent.
A print and digital pairing
Leaflets and boards that carry the same contact as the online listing.
Result: A parent who sees the leaflet and the listing meets the same number.
A simple count of results
A sheet recording enquiries by source, so the school sees which channels brought families.
Result: At season end the school can read which source brought each admission.
How the result is measured
- Enquiries across channels
- Cost per enquiry overall
- Channel mix by contribution
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

How it works
From your first message to the first report.
No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.
First
Your brief
You tell us what you need in a few short steps: your business, what you want, where enquiries come from and how they are handled.
After the brief
A conversation and a written scope
We read it, then talk with whoever handles your enquiries. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come in writing, and nothing starts before you have read them.
Before work starts
Baseline recorded
The numbers this work is meant to move, such as enquiries, quotations, orders, visits or renewals, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.
After the baseline
The first fix goes live
The fix we agreed to start with is put in place and measured against the baseline, whether that is a reply, a follow-up, a page, a listing or the handover between marketing and sales.
As agreed
Report against the baseline
What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words. How often you get it is set in writing before work starts.
At renewal
Renew on the numbers
The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. The length is agreed in writing before anything starts.

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 later 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 guarantees we cannot keep
The term is agreed in writing and never a default twelve months. We never promise a ranking or a lead count, because nobody controls those.
