Packaging manufacturers · Pay per click advertising

Pay for the brand buying ten thousand cartons a month, not for one.

Paid search puts a packaging unit in front of brands looking for a supplier today, at a click price every converter in the city is bidding up. GullySales runs the campaigns by pack type, keeps the machinery and single-piece searches out, and reports on enquiries that were worth quoting.

What pay per click advertising means

Pay per click advertising (PPC) is paying a fee each time someone clicks your advert on Google or another platform. It puts you at the top of a search page immediately, instead of waiting for ranking to build. GullySales sets the targeting, writes the ad text and checks spend against enquiries received.

For packaging manufacturers

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

  • “The wrong searcher costs the same as the right one”

    Custom box price brings a college project, a wedding card printer and a brand buying every month. You pay identically for all three.

  • “Machinery searches sit right beside yours”

    Corrugation machine price, box making machine and packaging company vacancy all live next to your keywords, and have to be blocked from day one.

  • “One campaign per pack, because the margins differ”

    A pouch enquiry and a shipping carton enquiry are two different sales. Sharing a budget means the cheaper one quietly eats the other.

What we do

What we deliver for packaging manufacturers.

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

  1. Campaigns split by pack type

    A separate campaign, budget and landing page for each pack you want to fill capacity on, rather than one campaign for packaging.

    Result: You can stop the campaigns that are not paying without losing the ones that are.

  2. A block list for machinery, jobs and rates

    Negative keywords covering machine sales, second-hand plant, job seekers and raw board enquiries, reviewed as new terms appear.

    Result: The budget goes to buyers instead of browsers.

  3. Landing pages that state quantity upfront

    A page per campaign stating the minimum order, the sizes you run and the print process, with a form asking for quantity and delivery place.

    Result: An enquiry arrives with enough in it to quote.

  4. Call and WhatsApp tracking on every ad

    Each call and message from an ad recorded against the campaign and pack type it came from, not counted as one lump.

    Result: You know which ad produced the enquiry your estimator is quoting.

  5. Retargeting for buyers who asked for a sample

    People who read a pack page or requested a dieline followed on Google and YouTube while your sample is still on their desk.

    Result: A quiet sample gets a second reminder without a phone call.

  6. Cost per quotable enquiry, reported

    Spend compared with enquiries that had a real quantity behind them, by pack type, against the baseline we record at the start.

    Result: The advertising is judged on orders, not on clicks.

How the result is measured

  • Cost per click
  • Cost per enquiry
  • Enquiries from paid search

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

Searches to bid on and block

The searches a brand or seller types for boxes and pouches, and the ones from people buying ten pieces.

Corrugated box manufacturer, plus city or industrial area
Bid. A brand or a seller typing this wants a supplier near them. Say the sizes and board grades you make, and the minimum order, so only buyers in range click.
Mono carton, pouch and label printing, by pack type
Bid, one campaign per pack. A carton buyer and a pouch buyer want different quotes. Ask for the pack size, print colours and quantity on the form.
Custom printed box for e-commerce and D2C brand
Bid. These buyers want a branded shipper. Show a printed example and say whether you take small first orders, since a very small buyer should know your minimum before clicking.
Packaging jobs, design course and free template
Block. Add job, vacancy, course, design, free, template, dieline and tutorial as negatives. Students and designers type your words.
Where the click lands
Send it to the pack's page with sample finished boxes and a form for size, board or film, print and quantity. A buyer wants to upload a dieline, not read about the factory.
Counting a real enquiry
Count an enquiry with a pack size and quantity, a dieline sent or a call from a brand. Log each against the pack type and mark which reached a sample and an approved rate.

Who it is for

This is written for these packaging manufacturers.

  • Corrugated box and carton manufacturers
  • Mono carton and printed folding box makers
  • Flexible packaging, laminate and pouch manufacturers
  • Label and sticker printers
  • Paper bag and paper cup manufacturers
  • Rigid box and premium gift packaging makers
  • Paper and paper products converters
  • Industrial and export packaging suppliers
  • E-commerce and courier packaging suppliers

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 pay per click advertising work runs

  1. 1

    Understand the total budget

    We agree the full paid advertising budget available across all platforms, rather than planning each one separately.

  2. 2

    Audit current platform performance

    We compare existing campaigns on a shared basis to see where the budget currently performs best and worst.

  3. 3

    Build the cross-platform plan

    Campaigns are structured across platforms with a shared measurement standard from the outset.

  4. 4

    Implement and monitor

    Campaigns run with budget allocated dynamically based on real-time performance.

  5. 5

    Measure and reallocate

    We report performance and shift budget toward what is working, within agreed limits.

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.

#257, 3rd floor, Sri Nanjundeshwara Complex, Nagarbhavi 8th Block, Outer Ring Road. How we work.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need
Why advertise when IndiaMART already sends enquiries?
Because a search ad takes the buyer to your own page. There the minimum order and the specification are stated, and your name stands alone instead of sitting in a row with nine other converters.
How do we keep tiny enquiries out of the ads?
Put the minimum order in the ad text and at the top of the landing page. A founder wanting two hundred boxes decides before clicking. If small orders suit you, they get their own campaign with fixed sizes and a starter minimum.
Should we advertise to tiny buyers who order a few hundred boxes?
Only if you have a way to serve them, such as a stock-size range. Otherwise the click costs the same and ends in a call you decline. State your minimum order in the advert, and let the form filter.
Do ads make sense if we sell mainly to a few large accounts?
Less so. Large accounts come through vendor lists and relationships. Use ads for the mid-size brands and online sellers searching for a supplier, and keep the effort on your account manager's follow-up for the big names.
How do we get on a big brand's approved vendor list?
Be known before the opening appears. Keep a capability profile ready for vendor registration, and stay in touch with the purchase and brand teams. When they launch or redesign a product, offer a sample first.
How should we talk to buyers when paper prices rise?
Agree price-revision terms in the quotation, tied to board or paper prices, before the order starts. Then when prices move, the conversation follows an agreement instead of a surprise.
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.
