GullySales

Garment manufacturers · Digital marketing

A sourcing team checks you online before it ever writes to you.

Digital marketing for a garment unit is the plan across the website, search, LinkedIn, IndiaMART and trade fairs, aimed at buyers who check a factory before writing to it. GullySales decides what each one does, builds the capability document first, and reports on samples and new buyers.

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 garment manufacturers

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

  • “The capability document comes before any spend”

    A sourcing team wants machines, capacity, minimums, certifications and photographs in one place. Without it, every channel sends buyers to a page that answers nothing.

  • “A fair is a channel that needs a follow-up plan”

    Most of what a fair produces is a pile of cards and a week of good intentions. Who gets contacted, with what, and by when, is written before the stall goes up.

  • “Your merchandisers are the channel nobody manages”

    Every costing, sample note and WhatsApp reply tells a buyer whether you are easy to work with. That deserves more attention than a post does.

What we do

What we deliver for garment manufacturers.

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

  1. One capability document that answers the checklist

    The machine list, the monthly capacity, the minimums by product, the in-line checks and the certifications you hold, as a page and as a file buyers can keep.

    Result: A buyer's shortlisting questions are answered in one place.

  2. A written job for every channel

    What the website, search, LinkedIn, IndiaMART, fairs and agents are each meant to do, with a budget and a named owner.

    Result: Nobody expects IndiaMART to bring an export programme.

  3. A fair calendar and a follow-up plan

    Which fairs and buyer-seller meets to attend, who is met beforehand, how visitors get recorded at the stall and what goes out in the week after.

    Result: Cards become costings instead of a drawer.

  4. The merchandiser's replies treated as marketing

    Templates for the costing email, the sample note, the delay message and the follow-up, written so a buyer reads a unit that is easy to work with.

    Result: Your team stops losing buyers on tone.

  5. One place where every enquiry lands

    Website, IndiaMART, LinkedIn, fair contacts and agent introductions recorded together with source, product and piece count.

    Result: You stop guessing which channel brings real buyers.

  6. A report the owner reads

    Enquiries, costings, samples, orders, new buyers won and the share of revenue from the largest buyer, against the starting baseline.

    Result: The dependence on one account becomes a number.

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.

Where to start for garments

Write the capability document a sourcing team checks, then spend on reach.

A capability document
State the garment types, the fabrics, the machines, the capacity range for each line, the certificates and the minimum order. Update it when a line changes, and note each buyer who received it.
A sample and costing tracker
Log every tech pack with the buyer, the date costed and the follow-up date. Call after the costing, and write down the reason an order did not follow.
Merchandiser reply routine
Agree what a merchandiser says to a new buyer, who replies and in how long. Record each reply, since a slow reply loses the buyer.
Website and LinkedIn
Put the capability document, factory photographs and compliance details on the site and a company page. Count the buyer enquiries that mention either.
A fair follow-up plan
List the buyers you met at each fair, with a note of what they asked. Send the capability document and call each, then record the results.
What to leave until later
Broad B2C social media and a rebuilt brand story. Buyers check the factory first, so put the document and the replies ahead of anything else.

Who it is for

This is written for these garment manufacturers.

  • Knitwear and T-shirt manufacturers
  • Woven shirt and trouser manufacturers
  • Women's ethnic wear manufacturers
  • Kids' wear manufacturers
  • Export-oriented garment units
  • Private label and contract manufacturers for D2C brands
  • Corporate, promotional and uniform garment makers
  • Activewear and athleisure manufacturers
  • Job work and CMT units

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • You want a guaranteed Google ranking or a guaranteed number of leads. Nobody honest can promise either.
  • You need enquiries by next week and have nobody to answer them.
  • You want posts and reach reported, not enquiries and orders.

How it works

From your first message to the first report.

No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. Before work starts

    Baseline recorded

    Enquiries by source, reply time, conversion and cost per order, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.

  4. 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 reply time, a follow-up sequence, the page buyers land on or the handover between marketing and sales.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

How the digital marketing work runs

  1. 1

    Understand the objective

    We agree the one thing this campaign needs to achieve before choosing any channel.

  2. 2

    Audit available channels

    We assess which channels are realistic to run well within the budget and timeline.

  3. 3

    Strategise the central idea

    One message and offer is developed that will work across every planned channel.

  4. 4

    Implement across channels

    Each channel receives its own adapted version, launched on a shared timeline.

  5. 5

    Measure as one campaign

    Results from every channel are combined into a single report against the original objective.

Why us

Why owners pick GullySales over an agency.

  • Marketing and sales, as one job

    Most agencies stop at the enquiry. We also fix what happens after it: the reply, the follow-up, the quote and the CRM.

  • 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.

  • No guarantees we cannot keep

    The term is agreed in writing and never a default twelve months. We never promise a ranking or a lead count, because nobody controls those.

  • One office, and we say so

    Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru. We work across India by call and WhatsApp and travel when a session needs to be in person.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

What should a garment unit spend on first?
The capability document and the factory photographs, because every other channel uses them. There is no price list here. We scope the work after reading your brief and speaking to you, and the fee goes in writing, split between our time, your media spend and production such as photography.
We already get enough work from one buyer. Why do this?
Because that buyer sets your rate. The month they move production the lines go quiet and there is nothing in the pipeline behind it. This work buys you the right to say no to a price cut.
Should we show our client brands on the website?
Only with each client's permission, and many contracts forbid it. If you cannot name clients, show the product types, the process and the compliance record. Ask each buyer whether a reference call is acceptable.
How do we tell which buyers came from IndiaMART or from a fair?
Write the source on the tech pack tracker the day the buyer first writes. Count the samples and orders by source after a season. Small price shoppers from a listing look different from a brand's sourcing team.
How do we find buyers without going through a middleman?
Be findable and reach out directly. A capability profile and product pages let brands find you, and a researched list of brands that match your product lets you contact them first.
Is IndiaMART worth it for a garment unit?
It can be, if enquiries are screened quickly. Asking for the piece count and delivery month at first contact separates real buyers from price shoppers. Your merchandisers then spend their day on the right ones.
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.
