Warehousing and fulfilment providers · Email marketing

Write to the operations head about the festival forecast before they write to your competitor.

Email marketing for a warehousing provider is the written trail between you and a brand: costings, forecast requests, stock summaries and contract notices. GullySales sets up the lists, the mail for each stage of a client's life and the sending domain, so a costing reaches the inbox and gets read.

What email marketing means

Email marketing is sending planned messages to a list of past and prospective customers who have agreed to hear from you. It suits offers, updates and staying in touch with someone who is not ready to buy yet. GullySales writes and schedules these emails and tracks who opens, clicks and enquires.

For warehousing and fulfilment providers

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

“A costing sent as an attachment gets lost”
The founder forwards it to the finance head, who opens a sheet with no context. A short mail saying what is in the costing and what was assumed travels better.
“Clients forecast late, or not at all”
A seller who mentions the festival rush days before it begins leaves you short of staff and the client short of stock. A forecast request sent in good time changes that conversation.
“Brands that visited and went quiet get nothing”
They walked the floor, took the proposal and fell silent. A mail about one thing that changed on the floor since the visit gives them a reason to reply.

What we do

What we deliver for warehousing and fulfilment providers.

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

A cover mail for every costing
A short note sent with each costing: what is included, what was assumed about volumes and returns, and the next step.
Result: The finance head understands the sheet without a call.
A forecast request before peak
A mail to each active client asking for expected orders by week of the season and the promotions planned.
Result: Staffing and space are planned with the client, not after the fact.
A stock and exceptions note
A written summary to the client's operations head: stock on hand, dispatches, returns received and open exceptions, in words the client can forward.
Result: The signer sees what the client is paying for.
Two mails after a proposal
The first answers the question asked at the visit. The second carries a floor update, such as a new racking bay or an integration now live.
Result: A quiet proposal gets a reason to be answered.
A clean list with consent recorded
Contacts tagged as founder, operations or finance, with source and consent noted, a working unsubscribe and bounces cleared.
Result: Mail reaches the person who signs.

What must be in place first

What a warehousing provider needs in place before it mails brands and clients.

A list built from your own contacts: Start with enquirers, site visitors, proposal receivers and clients, with the source noted. Do not add every founder from a seller directory who never dealt with you.
Consent and role recorded: India's data protection law expects you to show who agreed to hear from you, and about what. Note the date and source on each record and tag the contact as founder, operations or finance.
A sender identity on your own domain: Send from a company address with SPF and DKIM records set by whoever manages your domain. A costing that lands in spam loses the deal before the call.
Segments by stage: Keep prospects, proposal-stage brands, live clients and lapsed clients apart. A live client does not need the introduction a new enquirer needs.
Service mail apart from promotion: Stock notes, forecast requests and contract notices go to a service list. Offers and newsletters go to a list a person can leave without losing service mail.
A reply path that reaches a person: Replies should land with the account manager or the client desk, not a no-reply address. A founder asking about a missing carton must reach someone.

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

You have no consent record for the contacts you would write to, only a list bought from a seller database.
Your costings are produced differently by each salesperson, so a cover mail could not state the assumptions.
No one reads the replies, so a client's forecast would arrive and sit unopened.

How it works

How the email 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
Understand your list
We review who is on the list, how they got there, what they agreed to, and how long since they last heard from you.
2
Audit past sends
We read past campaign reports, your sending domain settings and any spam complaints to see what has and has not worked.
3
Segment and plan
The list is split into groups and a sending calendar is agreed, with a rule for unsubscribes and quiet addresses.
4
Write and set up
Emails are written, checked and scheduled in your email tool. Welcome and nurture emails are set to send on a trigger where that fits.
5
Measure and adjust
We read clicks, replies, enquiries and complaints by segment, and change subject lines, timing and content to match.

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

Can we email founders from a seller database we bought?

No. Bought lists have no consent, bounce badly and drag your domain towards spam, which then hits the mail live clients depend on. Build from enquiries, site visitors and conversations where people agreed to hear from you.

Will a client read a newsletter from their warehouse?

Rarely a general one. A mail about their own stock, their forecast or a change at their site gets read. Start with one-to-one service mail and add a newsletter when you have news clients already ask about.

Should a costing go by email or WhatsApp?

Send it by email so there is a record, and put one line on WhatsApp saying it has been sent. Finance people want a document and founders respond to a nudge.

A client's mails keep landing in spam. What do we do?

Ask the client's IT person to allow your domain, check your own SPF and DKIM records, and send the next mail as plain text without heavy images. Note the fix on the client's record so another account manager does not repeat the problem.

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.
