Pharmaceutical distributors · Digital marketing

Join your website, profile, messages and records so the trade can find and trust you.

Digital marketing for a pharmaceutical distributor is the set of online channels that reach trade buyers, with no public medicine advertising among them. GullySales works on choosing which channels to use and on joining them to your order and credit records.

Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

Pharmaceutical distributors: show a real physical business scene illustrating Batch and expiry stock. Hold stock by item, batch, expiry and warehouse, and offer the earliest-dated batch first at billing unless the counter deliberately picks another one.

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 pharmaceutical distributors

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

  • “Consumer channels are the wrong ones”

    A stockist does not sell to the public, so advertising aimed at consumers wastes money and invites rule trouble. The channels worth effort are the ones a chemist, hospital buyer or manager already uses to check a supplier.

  • “A paid advertisement can break a rule”

    Rules on advertising medicines differ by type and state. A campaign built on a competitor's template may breach them without anyone noticing. Anything paid should be checked with your own adviser before it runs.

  • “Channels work only when they connect”

    A website that takes a quotation request is of little use if nobody reads the inbox. A profile that brings calls helps only if the calls reach a person who logs them. The channels must end in the same register.

What we do

What we deliver for pharmaceutical distributors.

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

  1. A channel choice for your trade

    A short written choice of which channels to use and which to skip, with reasons.

    Result: The owner knows where the effort goes.

  2. A website and profile baseline

    Pages and profile covering licence, range, coverage and contact for the trade.

    Result: A buyer finds consistent facts.

  3. An enquiry routing plan

    Who receives and answers each type of enquiry.

    Result: Each enquiry has an owner.

  4. A compliance check step

    A review of anything public by your adviser.

    Result: Nothing goes live unreviewed.

  5. A simple report for the owner

    Enquiries by source, read against the register.

    Result: The owner can compare channels by enquiries received.

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.

Who it is for

This is written for these pharmaceutical distributors.

  • General pharma stockists supplying chemists across a city
  • Company-appointed C&F and redistribution stockists
  • Hospital and institutional medicine suppliers
  • Cold-chain stockists for vaccines, insulin and biologics
  • Ayurveda and herbal medicine distributors
  • Surgical and OTC range distributors serving chemists
  • Generic medicine suppliers to retail and institutional buyers
  • Veterinary medicine distributors serving animal clinics

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • You would run paid advertisements for medicines to the public, which is the wrong audience and risks breaking rules.
  • Your listing and website show different numbers and addresses.
  • You cannot record where each enquiry came from, so channels could not be compared.

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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

Is paid advertising ever right for a stockist?
Paid advertising can suit recruiting staff or finding trade buyers, within the platform's current rules and your adviser's guidance. It is never a way to promote medicines to the public.
What should we do first?
Fix the website and business profile so they carry correct facts, then set up the enquiry routine. Adding channels before that only spreads a weak foundation wider, and the owner pays for it twice.
Can you run everything for us?
We build and set up, and your team keeps the records current. A channel that nobody on your side watches stops being useful.
What should we check before any online campaign?
Check that every line names the stockist's trade service and not a medicine, and have your regulatory adviser read it. Rules differ by state and platform. The reason is that a single product mention can bring a complaint or a rejected advertisement.
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.
