Charitable trusts · Digital marketing
Put the trust's facts, services and contact in the places people look.
Digital marketing for a charitable trust is the combined work of a website, Google listings, a WhatsApp number, a donor register and a few well-chosen messages. GullySales decides the order with the trustees and starts with what the trust lacks most.
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 charitable trusts
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The foundation is the facts, not the campaign”
A trust with a wrong phone number and no eligibility page gains nothing from an appeal. The first work is a correct listing, a clear page and a number that is answered. Reach added before that only sends more people to a closed door.
“Different audiences need different channels”
Families searching for a hostel use Google and a neighbour's advice. Donors abroad use email and a trusted relative. Corporate officers use a shared file. One channel for all of them misses the rest. We match each audience to the way it actually looks.
“Trustees want to see what is happening”
A trust is accountable to its board, and the board wants plain reports. A short note listing enquiries received, applications decided and bookings made shows what the work did, without invented figures or glossy charts.
“Paid reach is the last step, not the first”
Ads for a hostel or a hall can bring enquiries from outside the neighbourhood. They suit a trust only when the pages are ready, the clerk can reply and the trustees have approved a budget. Fundraising advertising carries its own rules, so ask your adviser.
What we do
What we deliver for charitable trusts.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A digital audit of the trust
A review of the site, listings, social pages and numbers, with what is wrong and what to fix first.
Result: A list of fixes in the order the trustees agree.
A small website that states the facts
Service pages, a history page, a trust profile and a contact route, with trustee-approved wording.
Result: Each page has a named approver and a date of approval.
Listings and number set-up
Google profiles, the WhatsApp number and a single contact route used everywhere.
Result: The same number and address appear everywhere the trust is listed.
An enquiry and donor register
The record behind all channels, so that every contact has an owner and a next step.
Result: Each contact has a named person and a status.
A trustee summary of activity
A plain note of enquiries, decisions and bookings for the trustee meeting.
Result: The meeting sees the same numbers the clerk sees.
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.

We agree the one thing this campaign needs to achieve before choosing any channel.
- 2
Audit available channels
We assess which channels are realistic to run well within the budget and timeline.
- 3
Strategise the central idea
One message and offer is developed that will work across every planned channel.

Implement across channels
Each channel receives its own adapted version, launched on a shared timeline.
- 5
Measure as one campaign
Results from every channel are combined into a single report against the original objective.
Where this fits
Three pieces of sales work, in this order.
This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 0, foundation. The audit comes before it, and sales management keeps it running.
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.
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.
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.
