Courier companies · Logistics
Turn walk-in parcels into monthly accounts with offices and online sellers.
A courier counter lives on two kinds of customer. Walk-ins send a passport application or a box of homemade food to a child studying abroad. Offices, clinics and online sellers ship every day, and one of them is worth many walk-ins over a year.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.
In one paragraph
Courier marketing makes your counter the one a family, an office or an online seller picks to send a parcel or a document. Courier sales turns one-off bookings into accounts with daily pickup and monthly billing. GullySales fixes your Maps listing, writes one clear answer on what can go abroad, and signs up the offices and sellers around you.
Most franchisee counters rely on the brand name on the board to bring people in. The parents sending pickles to Toronto choose whoever explains customs rules with confidence. The law firm next door stays with whoever never misses a pickup, and neither of them was ever asked for a monthly account.

How buyers decide
How courier companies are chosen.
For personal shipments, the search is courier near me or send food parcel to Canada. The sender compares nearby counters on Google Maps and JustDial, calls for a rate, and visits the closest one with good reviews. Parents sending pickles, sweets or medicines abroad want to know what is allowed, so the parcel is not held at customs. Rakhi and Diwali bring a surge of gift parcels.
Offices and professionals choose a courier for reliability. A CA firm, a law office or a hospital needs daily pickups, proof of delivery and a monthly GST bill. They start with whoever the previous manager used, and switch the day a legal document is delayed. The admin head decides, with accounts involved for credit terms.
Online sellers compare slab rates, pincode coverage and how fast cash on delivery money comes back. Many weigh a shipping aggregator app against a direct courier account. A local operator wins them with a pickup at the same hour every day and a person who answers when a shipment is stuck.
The problem
What usually goes wrong for courier companies.
What owners tell us on the first call, in their words.
“We depend on walk-ins and the brand name on our board”
Our franchise counter gets passers-by, but we have no plan to win the offices and sellers in the buildings around us.
“International customers ask questions we answer differently each time”
One staff member says pickles are fine, another says they are not, and the customer loses trust before booking.
“Online sellers left us for a shipping aggregator”
A seller who shipped daily moved to an app with lower slab rates, and we did not know until their pickups stopped.
“Missed pickups cost us office accounts”
One late pickup for a legal document and a law firm moved to another courier without telling us.
“Our Google listing still shows the old address”
We moved the counter last year, and people searching for a courier nearby are sent to a closed shop.
“Rakhi and Diwali are chaos and the rest of the year is slow”
Queues run out of the door for a few weeks, then the counter is quiet, and we have no list of those festival customers to bring back.
What we do
What we do for courier companies.
Everything included for courier companies, and the result each part is there to produce.
Google Business Profile for your counter
A correct address, pin, hours, services, international destinations and real photos of the counter and packing, with the brand name used as your franchise agreement allows.
Result: People searching for a courier nearby are sent to your door, not a closed shop.
International shipping guide
A page and a WhatsApp message on what can be sent to your main destination countries, packing rules and how customs duty works at the other end. We check it with you against current carrier rules.
Result: Staff give the same answer every time, and customers book with confidence.
Rate reply routine on WhatsApp
Quick replies with weight slabs, destination rates and packing charges, and a named person to answer during counter hours.
Result: A rate enquiry becomes a booking before the customer calls another counter.
Business account offer
A one-page offer for offices and sellers with daily pickup times, monthly GST billing, proof of delivery, escalation contact and rates by volume.
Result: You can walk into any office nearby with something they can approve.
Customer and account register
A record of walk-in customers who send abroad, and business accounts with monthly volume, pickup issues and payment status.
Result: You know who to message before the next festival and which account is slipping.
Review and complaint routine
A review request after delivery confirmation, and a calm reply for every complaint about delays, with a note of what was done.
Result: Recent, answered reviews show a counter that takes responsibility.
Festival sender list
The names and destinations of everyone who shipped with you at Rakhi and Diwali, kept with their consent, and a message planned for the same weeks next year.
Result: Last year's queue becomes next year's early bookings.
How the result is measured
- Enquiries by source, including Maps, WhatsApp and walk-ins
- Reply time on rate enquiries
- International shipments per month
- Active business accounts
- Monthly volume per account
- Reviews and complaint reply rate

Priority campaigns
Campaigns for what courier companies most want to sell.
Each one planned around when your buyers decide, and measured against the baseline.

Result: Families book early and choose you over the queue at another counter.
Diwali sweets and gifts abroad campaign
Packing guidance and last shipping dates for Diwali parcels to the USA, UK, Canada and the Gulf, promoted to local families and apartment groups.

Beyond search
Where we reach buyers of courier companies, beyond Google.

We prepare a partnership with overseas education consultants whose students need documents and parcels sent abroad.
Home-based and Instagram sellers
We identify local online sellers and prepare a shipping offer with pickup and packing support.
Apartment associations and community groups
We prepare a festival shipping notice and an international guide that residents can share on society WhatsApp groups.
CA firms, lawyers and hospitals
We prepare an outreach note on document courier with proof of delivery and a reliable daily pickup for professional offices.

The fee in writing, split three ways
Our time, your media spend and production on separate lines. You always see what goes to us.
