Pharmacies · Content marketing

Write the list a family needs the day a patient comes home.

What a chemist may publish sits on the safe side of a line the drug rules draw, which leaves home care, devices, storage and paperwork. GullySales writes those pieces, starting with the post-discharge supply list, and puts a pharmacist's check in front of every one.

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

What content marketing means

Content marketing is writing articles, guides and pages that answer the questions buyers search before they are ready to enquire. This makes your business visible and trusted before the first call. GullySales plans this content from the first conversation onward, choosing topics that match real search demand rather than guesses.

Last updated 17 Oct 2026. Rules for this trade differ by state and professional body, and they change. We describe restrictions in general terms, so check the current position with your own council or adviser before you publish anything.

For pharmacies

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

  • “A family leaving hospital has no idea what to buy”

    Dressings, gloves, a rubber sheet, a commode, a thermometer. Nobody at the discharge desk gives them a list, and the list is the whole piece.

  • “The safe topics are the dull ones and they get read”

    How to store a strip through a Bengaluru summer, how to use a BP monitor, how to keep a record for the doctor. None of it advertises anything.

  • “The substitute conversation is easier in writing”

    If the explanation already exists on paper, the counter hands it across instead of arguing about it in the middle of the evening rush.

  • “Nothing goes out without the pharmacist reading it”

    The line between information and promotion is not always obvious, and it is your registration and your licence that carry the consequence.

What we do

What we deliver for pharmacies.

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

  1. A post-discharge and home care supply list

    What a family caring for a patient at home actually needs, by situation, with quantities, written as a sheet a discharge desk can hand over.

    Result: Families leaving hospital call you first.

  2. A home first-aid and travel kit checklist

    What belongs in a household kit and a travel kit, what expires when, and what to check before a long journey or a trek.

    Result: Customers buy the things they usually forget.

  3. Device guides with a recording sheet

    How to use a BP monitor and a glucometer properly, with a printed sheet for noting readings to show the doctor at the next visit.

    Result: Device buyers come back for strips and cuffs.

  4. A written explanation of substitutes

    What a substitute is, why one may be offered, and what to ask your own doctor, handed over at the counter rather than argued about.

    Result: The commonest counter dispute has a printed answer.

  5. A storage note written for this climate

    How to keep medicines through the summer and the monsoon, what a refrigerated item needs, and what a changed colour or smell means.

    Result: A local, dull page that people genuinely read.

  6. A pharmacist's review in front of every piece

    Each sheet read against the restrictions on drug promotion and treatment claims before it is published, with the check written down.

    Result: Nothing published rests on somebody's judgement that day.

How the result is measured

  • Pages published
  • Organic traffic
  • Enquiries from content pages

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

Questions buyers ask first

The questions a household asks its chemist, and the page that answers each without promoting any medicine.

What should I keep at home after a hospital discharge?
A post-discharge supply list: dressings, gloves, a thermometer, a pulse oximeter, a pill organiser, a mattress or a walker where needed. Say the doctor's discharge note decides the rest.
What goes into a home first-aid or travel kit?
A printable checklist of dressings, antiseptic, tape, scissors and a thermometer. Add a note to carry the family's own prescribed medicines with the prescription, and to check expiry dates.
How do I use and record a BP monitor or glucometer?
A device guide with a recording sheet. Explain cuff size, rest before a reading, how to store strips, and what to show the doctor. Say the page does not interpret a reading.
Why did my chemist give me a different brand with the same salt?
A page on substitutes. Explain what the generic name on a prescription means, what the pharmacist checks, and that the patient may ask the doctor. Do not compare prices of named brands.
How should I store medicines in this weather?
A storage note for your climate: heat, humidity, the fridge, the bathroom cabinet. Explain what the label says, how to spot a spoiled strip, and what to do with expired medicines.
Can I send my prescription on WhatsApp?
A page on how to order. Describe what to send, which prescriptions need the original, how the pharmacist checks it and what the delivery process is. Say plainly what you cannot supply without one.

Who it is for

This is written for these pharmacies.

  • Independent neighbourhood chemists
  • Pharmacies attached to a clinic or nursing home
  • Hospital pharmacies serving outpatients
  • Pradhan Mantri Bhartiya Janaushadhi Kendras and generic medicine stores
  • Multi-outlet local pharmacy chains
  • Franchise outlets of national pharmacy brands
  • Surgical and medical equipment stores
  • Pharmacies stocking Ayurvedic and homoeopathic medicines
  • Twenty-four hour and late-night pharmacies

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • No pharmacist has time to read what is written, and health wording needs the pharmacist's eye before it goes public.
  • You intend to write about conditions and cures to drive traffic, where a chemist's page can drift into advice it may not give.
  • You have not decided the languages your regulars read, so a good guide would reach few of them.

How it works

How the content 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. 1

    Agree the plan

    Topics and formats come from the content strategy and the buyer-question list. The volume goes into the written scope, agreed with you, not into a number quoted on a call.

  2. 2

    Brief and draft

    Each piece starts from its one-page brief and a short conversation with your technical person, recorded if they allow it, so the draft uses their words.

  3. 3

    Check the facts

    Your person marks the draft for accuracy and we correct it. Regulated subjects also go to your own adviser, because restrictions on claims apply to articles as much as to advertisements.

  4. 4

    Publish and distribute

    The piece goes live on your site, then out through the channels where your buyers already are.

  5. 5

    Read the enquiries and adjust

    Results are reported against the baseline recorded before work began. Topics that brought readers but no enquiries are changed or dropped. How often you are reported to is agreed in writing.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 0, foundation. The audit comes before it, and sales management keeps it running.

  1. Step 1

    Sales audit

    Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.

    Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Can we write about a condition like diabetes?
General information about living with a condition is different from promoting a medicine for it, but the line is not always obvious and the risk sits with your licence. Keep it to devices, records and habits, and have your pharmacist read anything that names a treatment.
Who is supposed to check all this?
Your pharmacist, before anything is published, and your association or drug inspector on anything genuinely unclear. We write it and build the check into the process. The sign-off has to be yours.
Can the page list our wellness and baby care range?
List the category and brand names for non-prescription items such as nappies, baby wipes and supplements, with a photograph and a price if you wish. Leave prescription medicines off. Check what the drug rules allow for your shop with your own adviser.
Should we write in Kannada, Hindi or English?
In the language your counter uses with customers. Older customers who rely on you most may read only the local language. Have the pharmacist read every version, since a mistranslated dose or storage line can cause harm. Keep versions identical.
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 long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
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.
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.
