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.

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.

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.

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

You have not read your franchise rules, and a plan could ask for something head office forbids.
Your pin, address and hours are still wrong online, which is the first thing to fix.
You hope a campaign will win accounts while the counter gives three different answers on one question.

How it works

How the digital marketing work runs

The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.

1
Agree the one aim
We settle what the campaign must achieve, such as enquiries for a launch or footfall for an event, and the date it must be live.
2
Check what is ready
We list the channels you already run, who runs them, and what each can produce in the time available. Anything that cannot be done properly is left out.
3
Write the idea and the message sheet
We draft the one-sentence idea, test it against each planned format, and fix the wording that all channels will copy.
4
Brief every channel from the same sheet
Your agency, freelancer or in-house person receives the message sheet and calendar. Their work is checked against the sheet before it goes out.
5
Run on the shared calendar
Channels go live together. If the offer changes, every channel is changed on the same day from the same sheet.
6
Measure as one campaign
Enquiries and orders are read against the baseline. The reporting schedule is agreed in writing with the scope.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 0, foundation. The audit comes before it, and sales management keeps it running.

Step 1
Sales audit
Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.
Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.
Step 2 · you are here
Sales process design
One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.
Start here if every salesperson sells differently.
Step 3
Sales management
A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.
Start here if the team has targets and no routine.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need

How much can we do without head office approval?

Most of it. Your listing, your local accounts and your own customer list are yours to work on. Anything using the brand name, the logo or an offer needs their agreement, and we will put those questions into one email for you to send.

What is the single thing worth fixing first?

The Business Profile, with the correct pin, the real hours and the destinations you handle. People looking for a courier open Maps and walk. A wrong address there costs more than everything else put together.

What can a franchisee change without head office approval?

This depends on your agreement, so read it or ask your area manager in writing. Local Maps listings, WhatsApp replies and nearby offers are often within reach, while logos and brand claims are not. Keep the written answer on file.

How do we keep online sellers who moved to an aggregator?

Ask what they value: price, pick-up time, tracking or cash handling. Offer a pick-up arrangement and a named contact, and say clearly what you cannot match. Record each seller's reason for leaving and for staying.

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.
