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.

For domestic tour operators

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

  • “Channels should follow the calendar”

    Summer rush, Diwali, December and the long weekends each have their own buyer and lead time. A plan that posts evenly through the year spends effort in the wrong weeks. Mark the departures on a calendar and work back from each.

  • “Every channel needs the same trip page”

    An advert, a reel, a profile post and a WhatsApp message should all land on one clear page for the trip. When each points to a different place with a different price, the traveller loses trust.

  • “Spend is easy to waste on broad destinations”

    Buying clicks for a destination name brings casual browsers and large competitors. A narrower aim, such as one departure with seats left, gives you a result you can read and a reason to stop or continue.

  • “The measure that matters is a booking”

    Followers and views are pleasant to report. Enquiries by source, quotes sent and seats booked tell you what to do next. Set up the log first, so every channel can be judged on the same record.

What we do

What we deliver for domestic tour operators.

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

  1. A channel plan tied to departures

    A calendar showing which channel promotes which trip and when.

    Result: Each departure has a named plan and an owner.

  2. Landing pages for campaigns

    Trip pages that match the advert or post that sends visitors to them.

    Result: A visitor sees the same trip, date and price they clicked on.

  3. Tracking by source

    Enquiries tagged by the channel that sent them, from first message to booking.

    Result: You see which channel brought bookings.

  4. Review and reputation work

    Review requests, replies and profile upkeep.

    Result: New travellers find recent reviews of your trips.

  5. A season review

    A look at each season's departures, sources and seats sold, before the next begins.

    Result: The next season's plan starts from your own results.

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 operator start?
With a clear trip page, a good reply routine and a Google profile. Add paid reach after those work. Spending before the reply routine is ready buys enquiries you will answer badly.
How much should we spend on advertising?
Set it against what a filled seat is worth to you and the cost of an empty one. We cannot give a figure without your numbers, so we review them with you before any spend.
Do we need an agency for everything?
No. Some work, such as photographs and trip notes, is best done by your own team. We help with the plan, the pages and the set-up, and leave to you what only you can supply.
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.
