FMCG distributors · Digital marketing
Spend digital effort where the buyers who pick distributors actually look.
Digital marketing for an FMCG distributor is a small mix of website, Google listing, LinkedIn, WhatsApp and email that reaches company managers, wholesalers and institutional buyers. GullySales picks the channels that suit a firm whose retailers are served by a beat, and drops the rest.
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 FMCG distributors
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The brand already pays for consumer advertising”
Shoppers see the company's own advertisements. A distributor who buys the same space repeats a spend that belongs to someone else. Your digital work faces trade buyers, not shoppers.
“Paid ads suit bulk supply, not the beat”
A Google ad for a supplier search can bring a hostel or caterer in your town, but retailers do not arrive through ads. Test a small budget on bulk buyers once the page and the phone line are ready.
“Email reaches managers at their desks”
A short email with the capability document attached suits a sales manager who wants to look at a distributor without taking a call. A cold call gives them nothing to forward to a colleague.
“A channel with no owner decays”
A profile nobody updates shows an old phone number. Give each channel one named person and drop a channel nobody will look after.
What we do
What we deliver for FMCG distributors.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
Channel plan by buyer
A table naming each buyer, the channel that reaches them and the person who runs it.
Result: One page that matches buyer to channel.
Website and profile baseline
The website, Google listing and LinkedIn page checked so the same facts appear on all three.
Result: The firm's name, phone and towns match everywhere.
Trade outreach email set
A short email and capability document for company managers, with follow-ups written to match the reply.
Result: Emails ready to send as each territory is announced.
Small paid test for bulk supply
A search ad aimed at institutional buyers in your towns, with a budget you set and a stop rule agreed first.
Result: A test with a budget, a stop rule and a count of enquiries.
Enquiry source tagging
Every enquiry tagged with where it came from, entered in the enquiry log.
Result: You can see which channel brought which enquiry.
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.

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.
