Contract logistics providers · Digital marketing
Join up the website, search, LinkedIn and email so the buyer finds one clear story.
Digital marketing for a contract logistics provider is the combined work of website, search, LinkedIn, email and measurement, aimed at the few hundred people who can put you on a shipper's shortlist. GullySales works on one plan across those pieces, anchored on corridors, sectors and the bids you want to win.
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.

Sales and marketing for contract logistics providers, the overview.

For contract logistics providers
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Every channel tells a different story”
The website lists a pan-India network, the LinkedIn page lists services, the proposal lists a single site. The buyer compares them and sees three providers. One plan, written once and reused everywhere, removes the contradiction.
“Spend follows activity instead of the contracts wanted”
A provider buys visibility on a generic term because it is easy to measure. The contracts worth winning sit in a few sectors and corridors, and the plan should begin from those.
“The sales cycle is long and the measures are short”
A click or a download says little about a bid that closes after a site visit and a design. Measure RFIs received, visits held, proposals sent and contracts won, and keep a baseline from before the work.
“Nobody owns the whole journey”
Marketing writes the page, sales answers the RFI, operations hosts the visit. Between those, the buyer waits. Someone has to see the route from first search to signed contract and fix the gaps.
What we do
What we deliver for contract logistics providers.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A written marketing plan by sector and corridor
The sectors you serve best, the corridors where you hold sites, the buyer roles and the message for each, in one document the whole company uses.
Result: Sales, operations and marketing work from the same list of targets.
Website, search and LinkedIn aligned to the plan
The same capability language, sector claims and proof appear on the capability pages, in search listings and on the company profile.
Result: A buyer sees the same provider wherever they look.
Email routine for named shippers and consultants
A small, curated list with useful notes on transition, compliance and pricing structure, sent when there is something worth saying.
Result: Contacts hear from you with a reason, and replies are logged.
An enquiry path from first contact to bid
A form, a phone line and a response routine that put each new RFI or enquiry into the tracker with an owner.
Result: No enquiry sits unread in a shared inbox.
Reporting against the baseline
A view of RFIs, visits, proposals and contracts compared with the position before work started, with the source of each noted.
Result: The owner can see which activity fed which contract.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
