Courier companies · Digital marketing
A correct pin and a written rate reply beat any campaign here.
Digital marketing for a courier counter is a short list: the map listing right, a rate reply ready on WhatsApp, one international guide everybody quotes from. GullySales fixes those first, then concentrates spending on the festival and intake weeks, checking each step against your franchise rules.
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 courier companies
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Your franchise agreement decides half of this”
What may be said, which logo may be used and what offers may run come from the brand rather than from a marketing plan. Getting that in writing first saves redoing everything.
“Three staff give three answers to one question”
One says pickles are fine and another says they are not. No advertising survives a counter that contradicts itself in front of the customer.
“A counter's catchment is a few streets wide”
Walk-ins come from the buildings around you. City-wide reach buys attention from people who will never cross the road.
What we do
What we deliver for courier companies.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
The franchise rules on one sheet
What the agreement allows on the brand name, logo, offers, listings and advertising, collected in one place before anything is published.
Result: Everyone knows the line without asking head office twice.
A short plan in the order things should be fixed
Listing, rate replies and the international guide before any spending, each with what it is expected to change written beside it.
Result: The free work happens before the paid work.
One set of counter facts used everywhere
Address, hours, destinations handled, packing services and GST details, written once and used on the listing, the directories and every reply.
Result: Nothing a customer checks contradicts anything else.
A WhatsApp reply set for rates and destinations
Saved replies for the questions asked most, so the answer is the same whoever is at the counter and whatever the queue looks like.
Result: The counter stops giving three versions of one answer.
Spending concentrated on the weeks that matter
Budget planned around Raksha Bandhan, Diwali, the university intakes and the wedding gift weeks, rather than spread evenly.
Result: The money lands where the parcels already are.
A report on bookings, accounts and sources
Enquiries by source, international shipments, active accounts and volume per account, set against the figures recorded before work started.
Result: You can see the counter moving from walk-ins to accounts.
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.
Where a courier counter starts
A courier counter starts with a correct map listing and one clear answer to what can be sent.
- Business Profile
- Correct the address, hours, services and cut-off times. Count calls and directions.
- What can go abroad
- Write one page on what cannot be sent and what documents are needed. Use it as the answer to every international enquiry.
- WhatsApp rate reply
- Set a reply for rates by destination and weight, asking for the pin code. Record how many enquiries become bookings.
- Franchise rules
- Read what your brand agreement allows you to post and change, and keep it on one sheet.
- Office and seller list
- List nearby offices, shops and online sellers and offer a pick-up arrangement. Note accounts opened.
- What to leave until later
- Leave paid ads and a new site until the profile and replies are correct. Festival weeks need planning in advance.

How it works
From your first message to the first report.
No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.
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.

Each channel receives its own adapted version, launched on a shared timeline.
- 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.
#257, 3rd floor, Sri Nanjundeshwara Complex, Nagarbhavi 8th Block, Outer Ring Road. How we work.
