Ceramic tile manufacturers · Manufacturing
Keep your ceramic wall and floor tiles on the dealer's display wall, not in the godown.
A tile dealer in a mid-sized town has a display wall that holds only so many designs. A new ceramic series from a manufacturer reaches that wall only if the sales officer visits, leaves a sample board, and the dealer sees customers asking for it. Without that, the series sits in a warehouse.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.
In one paragraph
Ceramic tile manufacturers make glazed wall, floor and parking tiles that reach buyers through dealer showrooms. Marketing gets the range onto dealer display walls and into the choices of designers, builders and tile contractors. Sales turns a dealer visit into a stocked range and a repeat dispatch. GullySales works on the dealer chain.
Ceramic tiles are bought by design and by price band. Wall tiles for bathrooms and kitchens, floor tiles for budget homes and parking tiles for outdoor use each have their own buyer. For a manufacturer the problem is being on the wall where the choice is made, whatever the quality of the tile.

How buyers decide
How ceramic tile manufacturers are chosen.
The retail buyer is a homeowner or the contractor, designer or mason who advises them. They walk into a dealer showroom, look at what is displayed, and choose within a budget. A design that is not on display is not chosen, however good the tile.
Dealers choose which manufacturers to display on margin, credit period, damage and replacement terms, freshness of design and how regularly the company representative visits. Dealers push the series that earns them and sells without effort.
Builders and developers buy larger quantities directly or through the dealer, choosing on a budget per flat, consistent shade across lots and delivery against the site schedule. Exporters and institutional buyers add specification and certification asks.
The problem
What usually goes wrong for ceramic tile manufacturers.
What owners tell us on the first call, in their words.
“Our new designs never reach the dealer's display wall”
A sales officer leaves a board that goes in a corner, and by the next visit the dealer has another brand.
“We sell on rate, and dealers use it against us”
The dealer tells the customer our tile is the cheaper one, which makes it the budget choice and not the preferred choice.
“Builders buy from the manufacturer they negotiate with last”
A project quote goes out, the builder's purchase officer negotiates with two other makers, and we do not know the outcome until the order goes elsewhere.
“Shade variation between lots causes complaints”
A builder receives two batches that differ slightly, and our team spends the complaint cycle resolving it.
“Designers and contractors never see our catalogue”
The people who influence the choice at the dealer have a rival's sample box and no ours.
“Our website is a catalogue download”
A buyer cannot see how a tile looks on a wall, or find a dealer nearby who displays it.
What we do
What we do for ceramic tile manufacturers.
Everything included for ceramic tile manufacturers.
A dealer locator and visualiser
A page that lists dealers by town, shows each series on a room image and lets a buyer request the nearest dealer or a sample.
A dealer visit and display routine
A record of each dealer, what is displayed, which series sold and when a representative last called, with the display photograph beside it.
Launch kits for new series
A sample board, room images, a price band sheet and a short note for dealers, designed for the launch of a new series.
A designer and contractor sample programme
A sample box and catalogue for interior designers, architects and tile contractors, with a question for each about which tiles they used.
A project quote and follow-up record
Every builder quote recorded with the project, the quantities, the competing makers known and the decision date.
Report against the baseline
Dealer displays active, enquiries by source, project quotes against orders and repeat dealers, set against the figures recorded when work began.
How the result is measured
- Dealers with an active display
- Enquiries by source and town
- Project quotes against orders
- New series displayed within the launch round
- Sample box requests from designers
- Complaints raised against complaints closed
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

Priority campaigns

Beyond search
Where we reach buyers of ceramic tile manufacturers, beyond Google.
Search matters, but it is rarely the only way this industry's buyers find a supplier.
Tile dealers and showrooms
A dealer's display space is limited. Each dealer's current range is recorded, and the launch kit is built to earn a place on the wall.
Builders and developers
A purchase officer with flats coming up wants a budget per flat and one shade across lots, and the project offer is written to that.
Interior designers and architects
A designer's sample shelf decides what gets specified, which is why the sample box and a one-page introduction to the ranges go there.
Tile contractors and masons
The person who lays the tile names a brand to the owner, and a sample card plus a dealer list puts yours in that conversation.
Overseas importers and agents
Fair and marketplace enquiries are answered from one export pack.

Not for

- You need enquiries by next week and have nobody to answer them.
