Metal fabrication and laser cutting units · Digital marketing
Run one plan for the OEM buyer and another for the house owner.
Digital marketing for a job shop covers two unrelated trades sharing a shed. Industrial work is won on search, marketplaces and purchase relationships, while gate and railing work is won on Maps and photographs. GullySales runs both, keeps the enquiries in one record, and reports which trade the money came from.
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 metal fabrication and laser cutting units
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The industrial buyer never opens Instagram for this”
A purchase engineer searches, checks your site for capability and sends the file. Reels do nothing for him, but they bring architects and homeowners.
“WhatsApp is the real front desk”
Drawings, rates, photographs of the job and the dispatch all pass through one phone, usually the owner's, where nobody else can see them.
“Marketplace and Maps do not overlap”
IndiaMART reaches buyers from other cities, the Maps pin reaches the plant half a kilometre away. Dropping either leaves a whole set of buyers untouched.
What we do
What we deliver for metal fabrication and laser cutting units.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
One plan covering both trades
A written split of channel, budget and effort between industrial job work and local metal work, with the buyer each part is aimed at.
Result: You stop funding one trade out of the other's pocket by accident.
WhatsApp Business set up as the enquiry desk
A company number with a catalogue, quick replies and drawing acknowledgement templates, so files stop living in a personal phone.
Result: Anyone in the office can see what was quoted and when.
All enquiries logged into one record
Calls, WhatsApp files, marketplace leads and website forms recorded together with the drawing, the quote and the outcome.
Result: A repeat buyer is recognised the moment they write in.
The marketplace listing matched to the website
Machines, materials, thickness and areas served checked across IndiaMART and your site so a buyer comparing the two sees one shop.
Result: Nothing in the comparison gives a buyer pause.
A capability sheet that travels
One document on machines, capacity, tolerances, finishing and quality checks, used for vendor registration, email replies and the website alike.
Result: Purchase teams register you without chasing details.
A report split by trade
Enquiries, quotations and orders reported separately for industrial and local work, each against its own baseline recorded before work starts.
Result: Neither trade hides the other's problem.
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 job shops
Start with the WhatsApp number and the drawing that arrives on it.
- WhatsApp Business as the desk
- Set a greeting that asks for the DXF or PDF, material, thickness and quantity. Label each chat as new, quoted or order. Record the time from drawing received to quote sent.
- Capability sheet
- Make a one-page sheet of sheet sizes, thickness by material, finishes such as powder coating and your usual tolerance. Send it with the first quote and note who replies.
- Directory listing matched to the sheet
- Make your IndiaMART listing say the same sizes, materials and finishes. Log every enquiry from it against the part asked for and whether it was quoted.
- Business Profile for gates and grills
- Add photographs of gates, railings and sheds with the material and finish named. House owners search by locality, so list the areas you reach. Record each call and visit it creates.
- Photographs of finished parts
- Photograph cut and bent parts on the bench with a scale and the steel grade. Use them on the sheet, the listing and WhatsApp. Note which photograph a buyer mentions.
- What to leave until later
- Leave out social media posting, shop-floor films and paid ads for industrial buyers. An OEM engineer is not found there. First get the desk, the sheet and the listing working together.

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.

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.
