Fourth-party logistics companies · Digital marketing

Choose the few digital channels a shipper's buying committee uses, and leave the rest.

Digital marketing for a fourth-party logistics company is the joined-up use of your website, LinkedIn, email and search to reach a small set of shippers and the consultants who advise them. GullySales works on which channels earn a place and how each one supports the others.

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 fourth-party logistics companies

Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.

  • “Volume is the wrong aim”

    The buyers are a few hundred people at the right shippers. Spending to reach a wide audience of all logistics professionals wastes money and fills the funnel with trucking enquiries.

  • “Channels work as a chain”

    A LinkedIn note brings a buyer to the model page, the page leads to a case, and the case leads to a meeting request. If any step is weak, the others suffer, so plan them together.

  • “Paid search brings the wrong enquiries”

    Ads on logistics terms bring people who want a vehicle or a warehouse. A narrow, carefully worded campaign may help on a few terms, but it is a small supporting tool for this sale.

  • “Measurement must follow accounts”

    Clicks and impressions say little. What matters is whether named shippers visited, replied and met your team. Track the account, not the anonymous visitor alone.

What we do

What we deliver for fourth-party logistics companies.

Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.

  1. A channel plan for your accounts

    A written view of which channels reach which roles, which are skipped and why.

    Result: A plan that says what you will not do.

  2. Website and landing pages

    The model page, industry pages and a contact route built for a buyer who arrives after a referral.

    Result: Pages a referred buyer can read quickly.

  3. Email sequences to named accounts

    Short sequences for target roles and for consultants, each pointing to one useful piece.

    Result: Sequences your senior team approved.

  4. LinkedIn outreach and content plan

    Profiles, posts and message templates for the people who carry your name.

    Result: Your leaders know what they post and send.

  5. Reporting by account

    A review sheet showing which target accounts engaged, which meetings resulted and which channels led to them.

    Result: You can see which accounts came from which channel.

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 ads?
Not as a main channel. Small, targeted tests on LinkedIn may reach named roles, but the sale rests on introductions, outreach and a strong site. Decide on paid spend after the organic work is in place.
What should come first, website or outreach?
The website, at least the model page. Outreach sends buyers there to check you, and a weak page loses the meeting that the message earned. Begin both soon after, since each supports the other.
How do we know digital marketing is working?
Look for meetings with named shippers, pilot requests and tender invitations traced to a source. We do not promise a number of leads. We report what happened and what we would change.
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.
