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.

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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

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.

Do we need paid advertising?
Not necessarily. Paid search may suit a named capability in a named corridor where buyers do search, but it is one tool among several. Decide after the pages, the profile and the response routine are in place, and check each platform's current rules.
How do we tell whether digital marketing is working?
Compare RFIs, site visits, proposals and contracts with the record you kept before starting. A rise in visitors alone proves little in this trade. Ask each new buyer how they heard of you and write the answer in the tracker.
Should we hire an in-house marketer or use an agency?
It depends on how much of the work is writing from operating knowledge. An in-house person near the sites can gather it, while an outside team can plan, build and measure. The work can be split: the company holds the knowledge and GullySales builds the system.
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.
