Food trucks · Digital marketing

Put the listing, the page, the messages and the posts to work as one routine.

Digital marketing for a food truck is the combined set of channels that tell people where the truck is and how to book it: map listing, social profiles, website and messaging. GullySales works on deciding which channels earn the effort and joining them into one routine the owner can keep.

Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

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 food trucks

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

  • “A truck cannot be everywhere”

    The owner cooks, drives, serves and counts cash. A plan with six channels and no time to run them leaves everything half-done. Choosing the two that bring customers and booking is the real strategy.

  • “The street spot and the event pay differently”

    Selling at a kerb has a low price per plate and needs footfall. Events have a set value and need an organiser. The channels that help one barely help the other, so the effort should be split on purpose.

  • “Delivery apps take a share of margin”

    Listing on a delivery platform can bring orders but takes a commission and puts a rival one tap away. Check the platform's current terms and decide whether that sale suits a truck built for walk-up trade.

  • “Slow days and rain need a plan”

    A pre-order list, a booked event or a message to regulars is what protects a wet Tuesday. Digital marketing is partly a way to fill the days when the street is empty.

What we do

What we deliver for food trucks.

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

  1. A channel plan based on where sales come from

    A choice of which channels to run for the street and which for events, with reasons from your own sales.

    Result: You know where to spend your limited time.

  2. A set-up of the listing, profile and page

    Map listing, social bio and a simple site, joined so each points to the next.

    Result: A customer can move from a post to a booking.

  3. A routine for posts and spots

    A repeating pattern for the location post, the video and the reply check.

    Result: The routine fits inside a working day at the truck.

  4. A small paid test with a clear question

    One limited ad aimed at a single spot or event type, set up to test one thing.

    Result: You learn what works before spending more.

  5. A baseline and a simple tracker

    Starting figures for direction requests, calls, enquiries and bookings, with a sheet to record the same numbers later.

    Result: You can compare later results with the start.

  6. A decision rule for dropping channels

    A note of when a channel is not paying back its time.

    Result: Effort moves away from what does not work.

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.

Where should a new truck start?
With the map listing and a location routine, then a booking page and message setup for events. Those cover the two ways the truck earns. Add other channels only when these two run well.
Is a delivery app worth it?
It depends on your margin and your capacity. Work out what a delivery order leaves after commission and packing, and whether the kitchen can serve it without losing the queue at the hatch.
Will digital marketing fill the truck?
No one can promise that. It makes the truck easier to find and book. Sales still depend on the food, the spot, the price and the service on the day.
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.
