Electrical equipment distributors · Digital marketing
Choose the digital channels that bring BOQs and drop the ones that do not.
Digital marketing for an electrical distributor is the choice and combination of search, listings, messaging and social channels that bring BOQs to the counter. GullySales works out which channels suit contractors, projects and sub-dealers, and tracks what each produces.
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 electrical equipment distributors
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Every channel claims to work”
A marketing vendor will recommend what it sells. Without a record of where BOQs came from, you cannot tell a channel that works from one that only looks busy.
“Contractors and project buyers use different doors”
A local contractor uses a map search and WhatsApp. A purchase manager in another city uses a brand search and email. One plan for both serves neither well.
“Paid adverts need a landing page that quotes”
Spending on adverts that lead to a home page wastes the click. The visitor should land on a page for the brand or product with a clear way to send a BOQ.
“Marketplace leads come with a cost of their own”
Enquiries from trade platforms are mixed in quality. They are worth keeping only if you answer them promptly and record their outcome against the cost.
What we do
What we deliver for electrical equipment distributors.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A channel review
Your current channels listed with the enquiries and orders each produced.
Result: You see what each channel has brought in so far.
A plan by buyer type
A short plan that matches contractors, panel builders, project buyers and sub-dealers to their channels.
Result: Each buyer type has a named way to reach it.
Landing pages for chosen channels
Pages for brands and product families that carry a BOQ request form and a phone number.
Result: Paid and unpaid visitors arrive on a page that asks for a BOQ.
An enquiry source record
Each enquiry tagged with its channel, from first contact to order.
Result: Orders can be traced to a channel.
A spend and result sheet
What you spent on each channel against the orders it produced.
Result: You can see which spend to continue.
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.
Searches your buyers type
Each channel earns a place only if it brings a BOQ or a call from a buyer.
- Authorised dealer search by brand and city
- Answer with a search campaign pointing to the brand page, a phone number and a quote form. Brand name searches carry buyers who already decided.
- LED project lighting supplier for builders
- Answer with a project page showing ranges and datasheets held, aimed at builders and consultants, with a contact for bulk quotes.
- Electrical items for a new housing project
- Answer with outreach to builders and a landing page that explains how a project account works, including delivery in stages and credit rules.
- Marketplace enquiry for bulk electrical goods
- Answer with a response routine for marketplace leads and a record of what each source costs, since an unanswered enquiry is money already spent.
- Contractor referral by word of mouth
- Answer with a short, genuine prompt to loyal contractors to introduce others, and a log of who referred whom. Do not offer payment for it.
Who it is for
This is written for these electrical equipment distributors.
- Cable and wire distributors for building and industry
- Switchgear, MCB and distribution board dealers
- Motor, drive and automation component distributors
- Lighting and LED project suppliers
- Solar inverter, panel and BOS component distributors
- Transformer, UPS and power equipment channel partners
- Panel builders' component suppliers
- Multi-brand electrical wholesalers supplying sub-dealers
Not for
It is not the right fit if.
- You have no enquiry source record, so spend on any channel would give no way to tell what it brought.
- Your stock or credit cannot take on new accounts right now, so more reach would only produce orders you decline.
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.
