Coffee roasters and tea traders · Digital marketing
Choose the few online channels where your buyers are, and run those well.
Digital marketing for a roaster or tea trader covers search, maps, social media, chat and marketplaces, and the choice of which to use. GullySales decides the mix with you, builds it and reports against your own baseline.
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 coffee roasters and tea traders
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Not every channel suits a trade supplier”
A cafe buyer finds suppliers through search, referrals and chat, not through display advertising. Spending on the wrong channel wastes a small budget. Cafe owners and hotel purchasers look for suppliers through a search for wholesale coffee beans in their city, a map listing, a sample request and a chat, so spend should follow that route.
“Home buyers and gift buyers sit elsewhere”
These buyers use Instagram, marketplaces and gift searches. The mix for them differs from the trade mix. Instagram, gift searches and marketplace listings suit the home buyer, who wants a story, a pack picture and a reason to choose your leaf over the one on the next shelf.
“Marketplaces are a channel and a dependency”
A marketplace brings orders and keeps the buyer relationship. Your own page and chat keep it with you. Use marketplace listings to reach new buyers, then move the repeat buyer to your own shop page or chat so the relationship and the data stay with you.
“Seasons change the mix”
Gifting season needs ads and gift pages. A quiet season suits content and reactivation. Plan gift pages and ads ahead of festive weeks, and use the quiet weeks for brewing guides, subscription offers and calls to lapsed buyers.

First
Your brief
You tell us what you need in a few short steps: your business, what you want, where enquiries come from and how they are handled.
After the brief
A conversation and a written scope
We read it, then talk with whoever handles your enquiries. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come in writing, and nothing starts before you have read them.
Before work starts
Baseline recorded
The numbers this work is meant to move, such as enquiries, quotations, orders, visits or renewals, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.
After the baseline
The first fix goes live
The fix we agreed to start with is put in place and measured against the baseline, whether that is a reply, a follow-up, a page, a listing or the handover between marketing and sales.
As agreed
Report against the baseline
What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words. How often you get it is set in writing before work starts.
At renewal
Renew on the numbers
The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. The length is agreed in writing before anything starts.

The person on the first call does the work
No account managers in between. You are never handed to someone you have not met.
A baseline before anything starts
Your numbers are written down on day one, so every later report compares against something honest.
The fee in writing, split three ways
Our time, your media spend and production on separate lines. You always see what goes to us.
