Tree service companies · Email marketing
Your past customers still own other trees, and nobody writes to them.
Email for a tree service reaches property managers, HOA boards and the homeowners whose trees you have already worked on. GullySales builds the list out of your invoices, writes the seasonal notes and times the commercial approach to the month a contract comes up for renewal.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

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 tree service companies
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The invoice file is the list”
Every homeowner you have ever billed owns a yard with more trees in it, and most tree companies have never once written to them.
“Property managers decide in an inbox”
A board or a management company will not take a cold call, so the way in is a short email in the months before the contract is signed again.
“The storm-week callers you turned away”
Everyone who rang while your crews were buried got a no, and a note before the next season reaches them ahead of anybody else.
What we do
What we deliver for tree service companies.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A customer list built out of your invoices
Names, addresses, the work done and the date, pulled out of the billing system and kept somewhere the office can actually send from.
Result: You can write to everyone who has paid you.
A plant health care note timed to the season
A short email to past customers when treatment or feeding is due where you work, offering an inspection rather than a quote out of nowhere.
Result: Repeat work gets booked in the flat months.
A pre-season message to everyone who deferred
Homeowners who asked about a dead or dangerous tree and did not book, written to in the weeks before the weather turns.
Result: The deferred removal comes back before the limb does.
A board and property manager sequence on a calendar
An introduction, an inspection offer and one follow-up, sent to each account in the months before its contract renews rather than all at once.
Result: You are asked to bid while there is still time.
A short report to commercial accounts after each visit
Photographs and a few lines on what was done and what to watch, sent to the manager so their file on you is thicker than a competitor's.
Result: Renewal becomes a formality rather than a bid.
Sending set up so the mail arrives
A verified sending domain, a working unsubscribe link, your physical address in the footer and a list cleaned of dead addresses before each send.
Result: Your estimates and invoices keep landing in the inbox.
How the result is measured
- Open rate
- Click rate
- Enquiries from email
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.
What must be in place first
What a tree service needs in place before it emails customers, property managers and HOA boards.
- A customer list built from invoices
- Take names, addresses and the work done from your own invoices. Note the species, the job and the date. Do not buy an area list or copy addresses from a county record.
- Consent noted on the estimate
- Add a line on the estimate that the customer agrees to be contacted by email about this job and later seasonal reminders. Record the date and keep the form.
- Insurance and licence ready to attach
- Property managers and boards ask for a current certificate of insurance and your licence or arborist credentials first. Keep them as files you can send with each commercial mail.
- Lists for homeowners and for boards kept apart
- A homeowner wants a seasonal note about a tree they had pruned. A board wants a contract proposal timed to its budget. One list cannot serve both.
- Contract dates for commercial accounts
- Record when each association or property contract ends and who signs the renewal. A proposal arriving after the board has decided is wasted.
- An opt-out and a sender they recognise
- Send from the owner on your domain with a street address and a clear unsubscribe. Check the rules for email in your area, which differ and change.

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 email marketing work runs
- 1
Understand your list
We review who is on the list, how they got there, and how long it has been since they last heard from you.
- 2
Audit past sends
We check open and click rates from past emails to see what has and has not worked.
- 3
Segment and plan
The list is split into meaningful groups and a sending calendar is agreed.
- 4
Implement content and automation
Emails are written, scheduled and, where useful, set to trigger automatically based on behaviour.
- 5
Measure and optimise
We track performance and adjust subject lines, timing and content based on what the list responds to.
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.
Hours that fit your day, agreed up front
Which hours we overlap with yours is settled before any work starts, so you know when a reply is coming and when it is not.
#257, 3rd floor, Sri Nanjundeshwara Complex, Nagarbhavi 8th Block, Outer Ring Road. How we work.
