Alteration shops · Lead generation
Fill the rail with jobs before the festival rush, not after it.
Lead generation for an alteration shop is the steady supply of people who have a garment that needs fixing and a date to meet. GullySales works on the channels that put your shop in front of them: the Maps listing, the WhatsApp number, showroom introductions and apartment groups.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.
What lead generation means
Lead generation is the combined work of every channel that brings in a new enquiry, whether from search, adverts, referrals or a stall at an exhibition. GullySales runs these channels together and reports the number of enquiries each one produced, not the activity behind it.

For alteration shops
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The garment arrives with a deadline attached”
Nobody alters a blouse for fun. The customer has a function, an interview or a school reopening, and picks the shop that sounds able to meet the date. A lead from this trade is a person short of time, so the first reply carries more weight than any advertisement.
“Walk-in trade depends on one board”
A passer-by sees tailoring and alterations on the sign and cannot tell whether the shop takes a lehenga waist or a zip change. A visible list of jobs near the door and on the listing turns people walking past into people stepping in.
“Showrooms hold customers who need you next”
A person buys a suit, finds the trouser length wrong and asks the salesperson who can fix it. The manager names a shop they trust. A short introduction to nearby showrooms and boutiques puts your name in that conversation.
“The quiet fortnight needs its own source of work”
After the wedding rush the master sits idle while the rent runs on. Past customers with a school child, a growing teenager or another function coming are the cheapest leads you will ever have, and nobody has asked them to return.
What we do
What we deliver for alteration shops.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A list of every job you take
A plain written list of hems, waist changes, zip and lining work, blouse fitting and uniform let-outs, used on the board, the listing and the WhatsApp greeting.
Result: One list that a customer can read in the time it takes to walk past.
A showroom and boutique visit plan
The nearby stores, wedding planners and uniform suppliers worth meeting, with a one-page sheet of what you alter and the lead time you work to.
Result: A written list of stores, with a note against each after the visit.
A past-customer message
A WhatsApp note to people whose garments you fitted before, timed to the next function or reopening, sent only to those who gave you their number.
Result: A named list of past customers and the message sent to each.
An apartment group introduction
Wording for resident groups, with the association's permission, offering pickup and drop of garments.
Result: A message approved by the association before it goes out.
A source note on every new job
A column in the job book recording where each customer heard of you: Maps, walk-in, showroom, group or a friend.
Result: After a season you can read which source brought the work.
How the result is measured
- Enquiries generated
- Cost per enquiry

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.
How the lead generation work runs
- 1
Understand your capacity
We agree how many enquiries your sales team can actually handle well, so the system is not built to overwhelm it.
- 2
Audit current sources
We check what already brings in enquiries today, even informally, before adding anything new.
- 3
Strategise the channel mix
Content, search and paid channels are chosen based on where your buyers already look.
- 4
Implement capture and follow-up
Pages, forms and a follow-up process are built and connected end to end.
- 5
Measure and optimise
We track enquiry volume and quality and adjust the channel mix to match.
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.
