Agricultural commodity traders · Digital marketing

Put your commodities, grades and registrations where buyers outside the mandi look.

Digital marketing for a commodity trader brings together the website, trade listings, WhatsApp and outreach so that buyers beyond the home mandi can find and judge you. GullySales works on the order of these pieces and on reading what each one brings.

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 agricultural commodity traders

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

  • “The home mandi limits the buyers you meet”

    A trader who sells to whoever stands in the yard meets only buyers willing to travel. Millers, processors and exporters elsewhere never see the stock. Online presence is how those buyers learn the firm exists and what it can supply.

  • “Each digital channel does one job”

    Search brings a buyer who is looking, trade listings bring enquirers, WhatsApp keeps regular buyers updated, and direct outreach reaches buyers who have never heard of you. Mixed up, the channels waste effort. With a job each, the partners can see which one earns its keep.

  • “A buyer checks you before replying”

    A sourcing desk looks you up before it sends an enquiry. If it finds a thin profile, an outdated listing or nothing, the trust is lost before the first call. A consistent trail of commodities, registrations and quality notes closes that gap.

What we do

What we deliver for agricultural commodity traders.

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

  1. A channel plan by buyer type

    A short plan stating which channel reaches millers, exporters, wholesalers and agents, and what each should say.

    Result: Each buyer type has a named channel and a named message.

  2. Website and trade listing setup

    A commodity-wise site and matching listings on IndiaMART and similar sites.

    Result: Your commodities and registrations read the same everywhere.

  3. Outreach to mills and export houses

    Lists, notes and calls to sourcing desks outside your mandi.

    Result: The target list shows who was approached and what they said.

  4. Lead source tracking

    Each enquiry tagged by where it came from, read against invoices.

    Result: The partners can tell which channel produced buyers who paid.

  5. Paid promotion trial where suited

    A small, bounded test of promotion for one commodity, with the budget set by the partners.

    Result: The trial has a stated budget and a record of enquiries received.

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

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

    The numbers this work is meant to move, such as enquiries, quotations, orders, visits or renewals, 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 a reply, a follow-up, a page, a listing 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 digital marketing work runs

  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.

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.

Where should a trader with no online presence begin?
With the commodity pages and a consistent trade listing, because those are what a buyer checks first. Then add WhatsApp lists and outreach. We fix the order after reading your sales book.
Is paid promotion necessary?
No. Some traders do well on listings, search and direct outreach alone. If you want to test paid promotion, try one commodity with a budget you can afford to lose, and read the enquiries against sales.
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.
