Cold-chain logistics providers · Digital marketing

Put the right proof in front of each shipper type through the channels they check.

Digital marketing for a cold-chain provider covers the website, search, directories, email, chat and outbound contact that together bring in shipper enquiries. GullySales decides which of these fit your fleet and routes and measures them against quotes won.

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

Cold chain companies: show a real physical business scene illustrating Chamber readings on one screen. Show the current temperature, and humidity where it is measured, for every chamber, freezer and anteroom fitted with a sensor, with the time each one last reported.

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 cold-chain logistics providers

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

  • “Visits are not the measure, quotes on a route are”

    A rise in site traffic from people who do not ship cold cargo adds nothing. The measure that matters is how many enquiries named a cargo and a route that your vehicles run, and how many became trial trips.

  • “Paid search for logistics is crowded and costly for a small fleet”

    Terms like transport services draw every kind of carrier and irrelevant enquiries. Narrow terms tied to cargo, temperature and a route avoid paying for clicks from shippers you cannot serve.

  • “Email still reaches the logistics and quality heads”

    A short note with a route sheet or a quality pack, sent to a named person at a named shipper, is read more carefully than a general advert. It needs a reason to write, such as a route or a season.

  • “Channels need one enquiry path”

    If a shipper can ring, chat, fill a form and email, all four must land in the same record. Otherwise the same enquiry is quoted twice by different people, or by nobody.

What we do

What we deliver for cold-chain logistics providers.

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 shipper type

    Which of search, directory listings, LinkedIn, email and chat to use for dairy, pharma, seafood, fruit and retail shippers.

    Result: A plan that names where each shipper type is found.

  2. A tracked enquiry path

    Forms, call tracking and chat links that record the source of each enquiry against the quote and the load.

    Result: You see which channel brought which shipper.

  3. Targeted search campaigns for named lanes

    Campaigns limited to cargo and route terms you can serve, with negative terms for the rest.

    Result: Spend is aimed at searches that match your fleet.

  4. Outbound email set for named shippers

    Short notes and a route sheet to named contacts, written for the logistics head and the quality head separately.

    Result: Introductions that go to a person, not a mailbox.

  5. A results sheet built on quotes

    Enquiries, quotes, trial trips and standing routes by channel, kept beside what each channel cost.

    Result: One page that shows what is working and what is not.

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.

Which channel should a small operator start with?
Start with the website pages for your cargo and routes, a complete map listing and direct outbound to named shippers. Add paid search only after the pages and the enquiry path are in place.
Is digital marketing worth it when business comes from relationships?
Relationships bring the first loads. Digital work gives those relationships something to check, such as a page, a quality pack and a trip example, and brings in shippers who do not know you yet.
How do we judge an agency's report?
Ask what quotes and loads the work produced. A report of impressions and clicks without quotes tells you about activity, not about business.
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.
