Steel rolling mills and TMT bar makers · Digital marketing

Decide which two things to build first, so a dealer or a builder can find you and ask for a rate.

Digital marketing for a TMT bar mill is the set of online channels that bring dealers and builders to your sales team: a business profile, product pages, WhatsApp, search ads, portals and email. GullySales sets the order, builds the first two and records which brings orders.

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 steel rolling mills and TMT bar makers

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

  • “Everything is started at once”

    A social page, a video, an ad account and a portal listing all begin in the same fortnight. Nobody tracks any of them, and none is finished.

  • “Followers are not dealers”

    A page with many followers and no dealer enquiry is a poor use of the sales team's attention. Dealers are won on rate and terms, then on brand.

  • “Online leads are not linked to dispatches”

    A mill pays for enquiries and does not know which became a lorry. Without the link, spending is judged on feel.

What we do

What we deliver for steel rolling mills and TMT bar makers.

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

  1. A channel order for your mill

    A written plan saying which channel to build first, second and later, from the districts you want and the buyers you sell to.

    Result: The team knows what to do first.

  2. A Business Profile and portal listing

    A verified profile for the mill and a correct listing on IndiaMART and similar portals, with the same name, address and phone.

    Result: A buyer who looks you up finds the same details everywhere.

  3. Product and dealership pages

    A page for each grade and one for dealers, each with a single action and a way to record the enquiry.

    Result: The first channel has somewhere to send people.

  4. A WhatsApp rate routine

    A business number, saved replies and a record of rate requests, so the main route for a dealer is under control.

    Result: The channel dealers prefer is the one you manage best.

  5. A table of enquiries by channel and dispatches

    A sheet showing for each channel the enquiries received and those that became dispatches.

    Result: You can say which channel works.

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 this trade

The channels a mill should build first, and what to record on each to tell whether it worked.

A verified Business Profile and an accurate portal listing
First job: one name, address and phone on Maps and IndiaMART. Record every call and message from them, since many dealers start there.
A page for each grade and one for dealers
Give each page one action, a rate request or a dealership form. Record which page each enquiry came from, and the district it was from.
A WhatsApp number that is answered
Dealers expect to ask the rate there. Set saved replies and a named person, and record each request with size, town and the result.
Search ads for grade and dealership searches
Start small in the districts you can supply. Count a rate request or a dealership form as an enquiry, and match it to dispatches later.
Email to dealers and purchase heads who agreed
A short note on new grades or districts open, sent to people who asked for it. Record replies and whether they became rate requests.
What to leave until later
Reels, influencers and a large social following. They build a brand over time but do nothing for a dealer deciding on a rate this week. Come back to them once the rest works.

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.

Should we do this in-house or with an agency?
Keep the replies and the record in-house, because only your team can quote and dispatch. Use outside help for pages, ads and set-up where you lack the skill, and keep the logins in your company's name.
Which channel first on a small budget?
The Business Profile, the grade pages and a WhatsApp number that is answered. Add search ads for dealership enquiries after those work. Spend on a film or social pages comes after dealers can find you.
How do we tell what worked from our own records?
Ask every new dealer and builder how he first heard of you, and write the answer in the record. Match it against dispatches after some time has passed. The pattern shows which source pays.
Do ads and organic work together?
Yes. Ads reach people searching now, and pages bring people who find you later. Both land on the same pages. Count enquiries from each separately so you do not stop the one that is working.
Can we publish our rate on the website?
No. A steel rate changes with the market and a printed one is wrong by the afternoon. Publish the grades, sizes and a way to ask for today's rate, and answer on WhatsApp from a named person.
Does a mill need a brand if it sells only through dealers?
Yes. A brand builders ask for makes the dealer's job easier and lets you hold your rate. A mill known only by the lorry it sends competes on rate each day.
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.
