What digital marketing means

Digital marketing is the combined work of search, social media, advertising and website channels running together rather than as separate projects with separate people. GullySales runs these as one connected system so a change in one channel, such as a new offer, is reflected everywhere at once.

Sales and marketing for destination management companies, the overview.

For destination management companies

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

  • “Channels should follow the buyer”

    A DMC sells to a short list of named buyers, not to the public. Reaching named people by email and LinkedIn, backed by a credible site, beats spending to be seen by holidaymakers who cannot book you.

  • “A campaign without a proposal process wastes briefs”

    If a good brief arrives and the reply takes a day of searching for rates, the marketing has been paid for twice and lost once. The back end has to be ready before the front end is pushed.

  • “Measure briefs, not clicks”

    Visits and followers are easy to count and say little. What matters is how many briefs came from which channel, how many became proposals and how many became programmes.

What we do

What we deliver for destination management companies.

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

  1. A channel plan for trade

    Which channels to use, in what order and with what purpose, based on where your buyers already look.

    Result: A written plan with an owner for each channel.

  2. Trade website and landing pages

    Pages for destinations, group types and requests, built to turn a visit into a brief.

    Result: A site that gives a planner a clear next step.

  3. Email and LinkedIn outreach

    Named outreach to product heads and planners, with copy, sequence and a log of replies.

    Result: A tracked list of who was contacted and what they said.

  4. Search and directory presence

    Search-friendly pages and listings in tourism board and association directories.

    Result: Your company appears where overseas buyers search.

  5. A single results sheet

    Briefs, proposals and programmes by channel, set against the starting figures.

    Result: You can see which channels earn their effort.

How the result is measured

  • Enquiries across channels
  • Cost per enquiry overall
  • Channel mix by contribution

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

How it works

How the digital 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

    Understand the objective

    We agree the one thing this campaign needs to achieve before choosing any channel.

  2. 2

    Audit available channels

    We assess which channels are realistic to run well within the budget and timeline.

  3. 3

    Strategise the central idea

    One message and offer is developed that will work across every planned channel.

  4. 4

    Implement across channels

    Each channel receives its own adapted version, launched on a shared timeline.

  5. 5

    Measure as one campaign

    Results from every channel are combined into a single report against the original objective.

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.

Tell us what you need
Where should a small DMC start?
With the website and the proposal template, since every other channel sends buyers to them. Then add named outreach. Spread nothing thin before those two are working.
Do we need paid advertising?
No. A tight audience of named buyers is reachable without it. If you test paid reach later, keep it narrow and judge it by briefs received.
Can you run this alongside our own sales team?
Yes. GullySales builds and runs the marketing, and your team holds the relationships and the rates. We hand over briefs and keep the log shared.
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.
