Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

Surgical and medical supplies distributors: show a real physical business scene illustrating Lot and expiry on every line. Record lot, expiry and pack size on the purchase, delivery note and invoice, and pick the shortest-dated lot first unless a buyer asks for a particular one.

What email marketing means

Email marketing is sending planned messages to a list of past and prospective customers who have agreed to hear from you. It suits offers, updates and staying in touch with someone who is not ready to buy yet. GullySales writes and schedules these emails and tracks who opens, clicks and enquires.

For medical supplies distributors

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

“One price list mailed to everyone”
A lab, a surgical store and a hospital group receive the same attachment. Most of it does not concern them, and the next mail from you is deleted unread.
“Mail from a free email address goes to spam”
A hospital's mail system treats messages from a personal address with an attachment as suspect. The purchase manager never sees the quote you sent.
“Hospitals are bought through emails and approvals”
Hospital requirements and tender queries move by email, with a reference number and a deadline. A distributor that answers in a casual WhatsApp note looks less reliable.

What we do

What we deliver for medical supplies distributors.

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

A sender identity on your own domain
Email addresses on your trade name, a plain signature with licence and GST details, and the technical set-up that stops messages being marked as forged.
Result: A hospital's mail system accepts you as a real sender.
A list built from people who said yes
Contacts from your own accounts, from quote requests and from meetings, each with the date and source recorded, and none bought.
Result: You can say why each person is on the list.
Segments by buyer and by product line
Hospitals, labs, chemists, clinics and manufacturers' managers kept apart, with a further split by consumables, equipment and diagnostics.
Result: Each reader receives a message about what they buy.
Plain mail formats for the trade
A stock arrival note, a rate revision, a new brand introduction, a reply to a requirement and a quote cover note, each short and ending in one action.
Result: Reps stop writing every mail from a blank page.
A reply path that reaches a person
Replies go to a monitored shared address with a named owner, and a quote request is logged in the CRM the same day.
Result: A buyer's reply never lands in a dead inbox.
Replies and orders traced to each mail
Each campaign's replies, quotes and orders recorded against the send, set against the baseline.
Result: You keep the mails that bring orders and drop the rest.

What must be in place first

What a medical supplies distributor needs in place before emailing hospital stores, labs and manufacturers.

Where each address came from: Record the source and date for every contact: an account, a quote request, a meeting or a reply. Keep to people who asked for or expect your mail, and name data protection law to your adviser.
A sender address on your domain: Use addresses on your trade name, not a free mail address. Ask whoever hosts your domain to set it up so mail systems accept it, and test with a hospital contact.
An unsubscribe line in every mail: Tell the reader how to stop receiving updates and act on it at once. A purchase manager who cannot opt out reports the mail as spam, and your domain pays.
Segments by buyer and product line: Keep hospitals, labs, chemists and manufacturers' managers on separate lists, then split by consumables, equipment and diagnostics. Write each list its own subject line.
A reply path to a person: Send replies to a shared inbox with a named owner who logs every quote request in the CRM the same day, so no buyer's answer waits unseen.
Patient and personal data stays out: Mail never carries a patient's name, a prescription or a diagnosis. Share items, packs, rates and delivery details only, and keep attachments free of personal data.

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

You have no domain email address, and mail from a free address would land in spam for most purchase managers.
Your list is a pile of cards and old forwards without consent, so a campaign would reach people who did not ask.
No one can answer replies from purchase managers, so mail that invites a reply would go unanswered.

How it works

How the email marketing work runs

The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.

1
Understand your list
We review who is on the list, how they got there, what they agreed to, and how long since they last heard from you.
2
Audit past sends
We read past campaign reports, your sending domain settings and any spam complaints to see what has and has not worked.
3
Segment and plan
The list is split into groups and a sending calendar is agreed, with a rule for unsubscribes and quiet addresses.
4
Write and set up
Emails are written, checked and scheduled in your email tool. Welcome and nurture emails are set to send on a trigger where that fits.
5
Measure and adjust
We read clicks, replies, enquiries and complaints by segment, and change subject lines, timing and content to match.

Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.
Step 2 · you are here
Sales process design
One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.
Start here if every salesperson sells differently.
Step 3
Sales management
A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.
Start here if the team has targets and no routine.

Tell us what you need

Can we buy an email list of hospital purchase managers?

Do not. Bought lists are old and the people never agreed to hear from you, which sits badly with India's data protection law. They also harm your domain's standing with mail systems. Build a smaller list from accounts, quote requests and meetings.

Is a newsletter better than one-to-one mail?

For a distributor, one-to-one mail to a purchase manager about a specific requirement does more work. A short update on new stock and rate changes to a consented list is useful as well. A long newsletter with generic health news is not.

Why do our quotes land in spam?

Usual causes are a free email address, a large attachment, no domain set-up and mail sent to many addresses at once. Send from your domain, set it up properly, keep attachments small and send quotes one to one.

Should we email tenders and rate contract offers to hospitals?

Reply by email to formal enquiries and tenders, with the reference number and the documents asked. Do not mail unsolicited rate offers to a hospital's procurement address in bulk. Introduce yourself to the purchase manager first, then send the rate sheet.

How much does it cost?

There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.

How soon will we see results?

It depends on the trade, the channel and what is already in place. After we have read your brief and spoken to you, we say what we would expect to move first and how it will be measured against the baseline. Nothing here is guaranteed.

Who will actually do the work?

The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.

What do you need from us?

Your brief, and a conversation. After that, access to whatever this work touches, such as your website, your accounts or your enquiry record, and time with the people who handle your enquiries.

What if we are not happy with the work?

Tell us and the plan changes. Everything is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. The term is in your written scope, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
