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 have not decided your minimum order and your enquiry form takes whatever arrives, so paid clicks would bring jobs you must refuse.
  • No one reads the enquiries on the same working day, and a paid click that waits for a reply is lost money.
  • Your margin on a pack is already thin at a quoted rate, and a click that ends in a price fight cannot be paid for.

How it works

How the pay per click advertising work runs

The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.

  1. 1

    Agree the whole budget

    We fix the total paid budget across platforms, who owns each ad account, and how much is open to moving.

  2. 2

    Audit tracking and accounts

    We check that conversions fire once, that calls and WhatsApp chats are counted, and that your enquiry sheet matches what the platforms say.

  3. 3

    Set one definition of success

    You and we agree what a qualified enquiry is and what an order is, so every platform is judged the same way.

  4. 4

    Build and launch the plan

    Campaigns are structured across platforms with shared naming and tags from day one.

  5. 5

    Read search terms and lead quality

    We review the queries that triggered ads and the enquiries that arrived, and remove waste before moving money.

  6. 6

    Reallocate and report

    Budget moves toward what is earning, within agreed limits. Results are reported against the baseline, at the frequency agreed in writing.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 1, prospecting and lead generation. The audit comes before it, and sales management keeps it running.

  1. Step 1

    Sales audit

    Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.

    Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.

  2. Step 2 · you are here

    Sales process design

    One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.

    Start here if every salesperson sells differently.

  3. Step 3

    Sales management

    A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.

    Start here if the team has targets and no routine.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

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 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.
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.
What if we are not happy with the work?
Tell us and the plan changes. Everything is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. The term is in your written scope, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
