Put the web in service of the site visit, not in place of it.

Digital marketing for a building material distributor is the set of online channels, from search and maps to WhatsApp and paid ads, that bring builders and dealers to your sales team. GullySales works on which channels earn a place and how each hands over to a salesperson.

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

Building material suppliers: show a real physical business scene illustrating Phone and WhatsApp order entry. Record the order against a contractor and a site, with material, quantity, rate, delivery slot and who at that site may sign for the load.

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 building material distributors

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

  • “Offline relationships stay the core”

    A distributor wins a site through a visit, a rate and a delivery. Digital work supports those moments by making you easy to find and easy to ask, not by replacing the salesperson.

  • “Channels differ by customer”

    Dealers can be reached through search and WhatsApp, consultants through email and LinkedIn, and house owners through maps and Instagram. A single plan for everyone spreads effort thinly.

  • “Paid ads need a route to answer them”

    An advertisement for a brand that sends a visitor to a page with no rate request is money spent for nothing. Fix the enquiry route before paying for traffic.

  • “Measurement is hard when orders happen by phone”

    A buyer who sees your page and then calls will not say so. Ask on every enquiry how the buyer found you, and record the answer.

What we do

What we deliver for building material distributors.

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 your customer types

    A short document stating which channels suit builders, dealers, consultants and house owners.

    Result: You know where effort goes and why.

  2. Brand and product pages with enquiry routes

    Pages for each authorised brand, each ending in a rate request by form or WhatsApp.

    Result: A visitor always has a next step.

  3. A Google Business Profile

    A complete, verified profile with delivery area, brands and product groups.

    Result: You appear when someone nearby searches.

  4. A small paid search test

    Advertising on brand and product searches in your delivery area, with a budget you set.

    Result: You see whether paid search produces enquiries.

  5. A source question on every enquiry

    A single question asked and recorded by whoever takes the enquiry.

    Result: You learn which channels bring orders.

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.

Tell us what you need
How much should a distributor spend on digital?
That depends on your margin and your team's ability to answer. We start with unpaid work such as the website and profile, and add paid advertising when the enquiry route can handle it.
Is digital marketing worth it for a trade business?
It is worth it where buyers search for you and can reach you. We look at how your buyers actually find suppliers before recommending any channel.
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.
