Corporate catering companies · Email marketing

Send the admin head one clean mail she can forward to her finance team.

Email marketing for a corporate catering company is a short, permitted message to an office buyer: a menu cycle, a quote, a tasting invitation or a renewal note. It works one to one more than as a newsletter. GullySales sets up the list, the sender and the segments so each mail goes only to people who agreed and each reply reaches a person.

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 corporate catering companies

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

  • “Your warmest list is event clients who never became contract clients”

    Someone who booked a seminar lunch last year still holds the admin head's name. A note suggesting a daily-meal tasting reaches a warm contact, where a mail to a found list reaches strangers.

  • “A free address and a heavy attachment stop at the firewall”

    Company mail systems are strict. A bulk mail from a free address with a big attachment is held back, and the buyer never knows you wrote.

  • “A greeting gives her no reason to open it”

    Ten vendors send Diwali wishes with a logo on the same morning. A mail with the festival-week menu and the last date to book gives her something to forward.

What we do

What we deliver for corporate catering companies.

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

  1. A permission record for every address

    Beside each address, where it came from and what the person agreed to receive: a booking, a card handed over, a form on your site or an introduction.

    Result: You can say why anyone is on the list.

  2. Sender set up on your own domain

    A named sender at your company address, with the technical settings that let a client's mail server verify you.

    Result: Mail reaches the inbox of a company with a strict gateway.

  3. Segments by what the office buys

    Daily-meal buyers, event buyers, pantry buyers and lapsed clients kept in separate lists with a different mail for each.

    Result: A cafeteria head never receives a seminar-lunch pitch.

  4. Four mail templates

    A menu cycle mail, an event quote follow-up, a tasting invitation and a renewal note, each short enough to read on a phone.

    Result: The salesperson starts from a good draft, not a blank page.

  5. A forwardable one-page menu and rate sheet

    A web page with the date on it, linked from the mail, so the buyer sends it on to accounts and you can correct it later.

    Result: Old rates stop circulating inside the client's company.

  6. Reply and unsubscribe routine

    A monitored reply inbox, a working unsubscribe line and a rule that anyone who asks to stop is removed at once.

    Result: A reply is read by a person and a request to stop is honoured.

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 corporate caterer needs before the first mail goes to an office buyer.

Where each address came from
Write beside each address whether it came from a booking, a card, your site form or an introduction. Do not add addresses lifted from company websites or bought lists, and take advice on data-protection rules.
A sender on your own domain
Send from a named person at your company address, with a phone number in the signature. Corporate mail filters distrust bulk mail from free addresses.
A way to stop the mail
Put a working unsubscribe line in every mail and remove the person at once when asked. A buyer who cannot stop your mail will mark it as spam.
Separate lists by what the office buys
Keep daily-meal buyers, event buyers and lapsed clients apart. The event assistant does not need a canteen-contract pitch, and the cafeteria head does not need a seminar offer.
A reply that reaches a person
Point replies to an inbox a named salesperson reads. A mail that asks for a tasting and gets no answer costs you the office.
Documents as links, not heavy files
Send the menu cycle and licence copy as a link to your site or as a small file. Large attachments are often held back at the client's mail gateway.

Who it is for

This is written for these corporate catering companies.

  • Cafeteria and canteen operators for offices
  • Daily lunch-box and tiffin suppliers to companies
  • Conference, seminar and offsite caterers
  • Boxed-meal caterers for training programmes and client visits
  • Night-shift and late-working meal suppliers
  • Caterers to co-working spaces and managed offices
  • Pantry, tea, coffee and snack suppliers for offices

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • You want a guaranteed Google ranking or a guaranteed number of leads. Nobody honest can promise either.
  • You need enquiries by next week and have nobody to answer them.
  • You want posts and reach reported, not enquiries and orders.

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

    Enquiries by source, reply time, conversion and cost per order, 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 reply time, a follow-up sequence, the page buyers land on 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.

Tell us what you need
Can we mail HR heads of companies in a tech park from a list we found?
A found list is not consent. Mail people who booked, who asked, or who gave you a card, and take advice on the rules. Ask your existing clients whom they would introduce; that is a better list than any you can buy.
Should we send a newsletter or one-to-one mails?
One to one, because few people decide and each decision is large. A short personal note to a past event client about a daily-meal tasting does the work a newsletter to the same few people rarely does.
Our mails land in the junk folder at one company. What do we check?
Check that your sender domain is set up so the receiving server can verify it, keep the message plain with few links, and avoid mails that are one big image. Ask your contact there to add you to their safe list.
Can we send the rate sheet as an attachment?
A link to a one-page web version is better. The buyer can forward it, it carries a date, and you can replace it. A forwarded attachment keeps last year's rates alive inside the client's company.
Do offices really pick a caterer from a Google search?
For event lunches and small daily orders, often yes. For a large cafeteria contract, search only starts the shortlist; the tasting, the kitchen visit and a word from another office decide it. So your page and Business Profile have to hold up when an admin head checks you after someone recommends you.
Should we chase the big business parks or small offices first?
Start with offices your kitchen can reach on time at lunch hour, whatever their size. One working contract in a building is the best introduction to the floors above and below it. A very large cafeteria tender can wait until your kitchen and staff have the room to carry 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.
