What graphic design means

Graphic design is the visual layout of everything from your social media posts to your brochure, deciding what a customer notices first. GullySales designs these assets to a consistent look so a customer recognises your business across a poster, a post and a proposal.

For painting contractors

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

“A clean, itemised quote builds more trust than a verbal number”
A printed or PDF quote listing surface area, coats and cost by room reads as more professional and trustworthy than a single verbal figure.
“Van and uniform design is free daily advertising”
A well-designed van and branded uniforms turn every job site into visible advertising in the neighbourhood, at no extra cost beyond the design itself.
“Festival offer materials need to be ready before the rush”
A simple, well-designed flyer or WhatsApp graphic for a festival season booking offer needs to exist weeks before the actual demand spike, not be improvised during it.

What we do

What we deliver for painting contractors.

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

An itemised quote template
A printed or PDF quote format listing surface area, coats and cost by room, replacing a single verbal figure.
Result: A homeowner takes the quote seriously and can compare it properly.
Van and uniform design
A design for the van signage and crew uniforms that turns every job site into visible, no-cost advertising.
Result: The neighbourhood sees a professional business at work, not just a crew.
A festival offer flyer and graphic
A simple, ready graphic for a festival season booking offer, designed weeks before the rush instead of during it.
Result: The offer is ready the moment homeowners start searching.
A reusable graphics library
A small set of templates for offers, reminders and referral asks that your team can reuse without a new design each time.
Result: New material goes out quickly without waiting on a fresh design.

What every printed quote carries

A quote that lists the work room by room is the one a homeowner keeps.

Room and area: List each room or wall with its area in square feet, so the homeowner sees the quote was built from their own house and not rounded from a guess.
Preparation work: Write down scraping, crack filling, putty and sanding. A cheaper quote that skips preparation then becomes easy to explain, because the two papers no longer look alike.
Paint brand, range and shade: Name the brand, the product range, the finish and the shade codes agreed on site, so nobody argues later about which grade went on the wall.
Coats of primer and finish: State how many coats of primer and of finish each surface gets. This is the line a homeowner compares first when another painter quotes less.
What is not included: Say plainly what is outside the quote, such as moving furniture, ceiling repairs, waterproofing or scaffolding on a tall exterior wall.
Payment stages and validity date: Show advance, mid-job and final payment in rupees, and the date until which the quote holds, since paint and labour costs move.

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

Your quote is a figure on a slip of paper with nothing itemised, so a designed quote would dress up missing detail.
You have no photographs of finished walls to put in a brochure or a festival offer.

How it works

How the graphic design 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
Confirm the scope
We agree the kinds of work you need and the formats for each: social sizes, print sizes, signage. We read your guidelines and note any gaps.
2
Brief and design
Each request comes with a short brief covering the purpose, wording, size and date needed. The piece is produced against your guidelines.
3
Review and revise
You see the piece before it goes anywhere and send one set of corrections, with print jobs checked on a proof.
4
Deliver and file
Final files go out in the format each use needs, a PNG or JPG for screens and a print PDF for the printer. Source files go into the shared library.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 1, prospecting and lead generation. The audit comes before it, and sales management keeps it running.

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.
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.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need

Do we need a designer for a small business?

A one-time investment in a quote template, van design and a few reusable graphics covers most of what a painting business needs.

How often does this need updating?

Rarely, beyond seasonal offer materials and updates when pricing or services change.

Is a PDF quote enough, or should we hand over a printed one?

Carry a printed copy for the site visit and send the PDF on WhatsApp the same evening. The homeowner will forward it to a spouse, a builder or a society committee, and a clean PDF travels better than a photograph of paper.

Should the quote carry our GST number and business name?

If you are GST registered, yes, with the registered name and the number printed on the quote. Builders and offices need it for their own records, and a quote without it can be set aside by an accounts team that cannot process it.

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.

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.
