Industry associations · Digital marketing

Join the website, email, LinkedIn and events into one plan for member and sponsor growth.

Digital marketing for an industry association is the combined use of its website, email, LinkedIn and search to win members and sponsors. GullySales connects these channels, so each one points the reader to the next step.

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 industry associations

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

  • “Channels run separately and tell different stories”

    The website describes the body one way, the newsletter another and the conference deck a third. A director meeting the association in two places sees two organisations.

  • “Digital work stops at the event”

    Registration pages and invitations get care, and then the website goes quiet. The sessions, speakers and outcomes that would persuade a non-member never get published.

  • “The budget is small, so choices matter”

    A sector body does not have the funds of a consumer brand. Spending on every channel thins the effort. A short list of channels chosen for the readers works better.

  • “Measurement is thin”

    The secretariat knows how many joined but not which message brought them. Without a source recorded on each enquiry, the next year's plan repeats guesswork.

What we do

What we deliver for industry associations.

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

  1. One-page plan for member and sponsor growth

    A plan that names the audience, the channels and the next step for each.

    Result: The committee holds one document for digital work.

  2. Message alignment

    The same plain statement of what the body does, used across the website, email and LinkedIn.

    Result: A reader meets one consistent organisation.

  3. Email routine for members and prospects

    A list structure and a notice format that separates members from prospects.

    Result: Each reader receives the right kind of message.

  4. Event-to-web publishing

    A routine to turn every event into pages, summaries and a follow-up note.

    Result: Events build the website between conferences.

  5. Source tracking

    A field on every enquiry for how the company found the body.

    Result: The committee can see which channels bring enquiries.

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.

How it works

How the digital marketing 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

    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.

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.

  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.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Do we need paid advertising?
Not necessarily. For a sector body, search, LinkedIn and warm introductions come first. Paid reach is considered only where the audience is narrow and well defined.
How do we know it is working?
By the records: enquiries by source, new members from outreach and renewals recorded before the due date. We set them up at the start.
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.
