Waterproofing and roofing contractors · Email marketing

Your best list is every terrace you treated four monsoons ago.

Email and WhatsApp for a waterproofing or roofing contractor bring back the buildings you have already worked on, and keep apartment secretaries in touch until the budget meeting. GullySales writes the pre-monsoon reminder, the warranty check note and the committee follow-up, and reports which one produced an inspection.

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 waterproofing and roofing contractors

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

  • “February is the month a past customer will listen”

    A reminder in the dry season books an inspection. The same message in July reaches somebody already ringing three other contractors.

  • “A committee needs reminding between the quotation and the vote”

    Six weeks pass and the agenda fills up. A short note carrying their own photographs keeps the item alive until the meeting.

  • “Builders and architects want one mail, rarely”

    A method statement and three recent basements, sent once a quarter. Anything more frequent goes to the junk folder and stays there.

What we do

What we deliver for waterproofing and roofing contractors.

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

  1. A pre-monsoon reminder to every past customer

    Sent in February with the job date, the warranty position and an offer of a check, by WhatsApp where that is how they already contact you.

    Result: The dry-season diary fills from work you already did.

  2. Lists kept apart by who decides

    Homeowners, apartment secretaries and treasurers, builders and architects, factory engineers, and past customers, each written to differently.

    Result: A committee does not receive a homeowner's message.

  3. A committee follow-up running to the meeting date

    Timed notes after the quotation carrying their building's photographs, the option comparison, and a reminder of your offer to present.

    Result: Your quotation is still live on voting day.

  4. A note for builders and architects

    Three recent basements or podiums, the method statement and the applicator certificates, short and sent no more than four times a year.

    Result: You stay on the list without becoming junk mail.

  5. Warranty check notes sent on a schedule

    A message at each anniversary of a completed job offering the inspection your warranty terms assume, with the claim procedure restated.

    Result: Warranty visits happen before a failure does.

  6. Reporting on inspections booked, not opens

    Which message produced a reply, an inspection or a quotation, set against the baseline recorded before the work started.

    Result: A message nobody answers is rewritten.

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 waterproofing contractor needs in place before it emails past customers, committees and builders.

A job record with the warranty
For each past customer hold the address, the system used, the date applied and the warranty end. A warranty check note is only credible if you can name the job.
Lists by who decides
Keep homeowners, apartment secretaries, builders and architects, and factory managers on separate lists. The committee needs a meeting-date follow-up, the builder needs a scope note.
Consent from the job file
Record when the customer agreed to hear from you about checks. A number given for a site visit does not cover mailers. Ask at handover.
Photographs with permission
Use before and after photos of a terrace only with the owner's agreement and with the address removed. Keep the agreement with the job.
A scope that can be compared
State the surface preparation, the material and coats, the area, and what the warranty covers and excludes. Customers compare the cheapest quote, so the differences must be on the page.
A sender and an opt-out
Send from a named person on your domain with an address and a plain unsubscribe. Honour it.

How it works

From your first message to the first report.

No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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. 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. 2

    Audit past sends

    We check open and click rates from past emails to see what has and has not worked.

  3. 3

    Segment and plan

    The list is split into meaningful groups and a sending calendar is agreed.

  4. 4

    Implement content and automation

    Emails are written, scheduled and, where useful, set to trigger automatically based on behaviour.

  5. 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.

  • One office, and we say so

    Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru. We work across India by call and WhatsApp and travel when a session needs to be in person.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Do owners really read a contractor's email?
They read a message about their own building, in February, with photographs of their terrace attached. They do not read a newsletter. Most of this works better on WhatsApp than in an inbox.
What do we send a past customer four years on?
A pre-monsoon check offer, the warranty position on their job, and a note on what usually needs attention at that age. Those bring the easiest inspections you will book all year.
Can we mention a warranty period in a mail to past customers?
Only the period you actually gave in writing, and with its conditions. Do not extend or restate it in a way the paper does not. Say 'under your warranty terms' and attach the original. A misstated warranty becomes a dispute.
What do we send an apartment secretary who is still waiting for the committee?
Send a short note with the area, the scope and the quote attached, and offer to present at the meeting. Ask the date of the next meeting. Keep each note useful: a checklist of what the committee needs to decide, not a reminder.
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.
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.
