Social enterprises · Digital marketing

Put search, social, chat and email to work on orders you can supply.

Digital marketing for a social enterprise is the combined use of the website, search, social media, chat and email to bring in buyers. GullySales works on choosing the few channels that fit your products and making each one lead to a recorded enquiry.

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 social enterprises

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

  • “Every channel at once spreads a small team thin”

    A collective with two people on sales cannot run a website, three social accounts and email campaigns well. Picking the channels where your buyers already are leaves time to reply.

  • “Retail and corporate buyers need different routes”

    A shopper buys through a page or a marketplace listing. A company buys through a catalogue, a quote and a call. One plan covering both needs two sets of steps.

  • “Spend before supply is a risk”

    Advertising a product the makers cannot yet produce in volume creates orders you cannot fill. Capacity is checked before any campaign goes live.

  • “Reports should show orders, not only visits”

    A count of page views says little if no enquiry follows. A simple tally of enquiries by source and the orders they became shows which channel is worth the effort.

What we do

What we deliver for social enterprises.

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

  1. A channel choice

    A written decision on which channels to use for retail, corporate and stockist buyers, and which to leave for now.

    Result: A short list of channels, each with a reason.

  2. A capacity check

    A conversation with the makers on how much of each product can be made for a campaign.

    Result: No campaign promises more than the makers can supply.

  3. Page, listing and chat set-up

    The website, marketplace listing, social profiles and chat number set up to carry the same product details.

    Result: A buyer sees the same price band and minimum order everywhere.

  4. An enquiry tally by source

    A record of where each enquiry came from and what became of it.

    Result: You can see which channel brings buyers who order.

  5. A quarter-by-quarter calendar of seasons

    A plan around gifting seasons, exhibitions and harvests, set by the dates that matter to your buyers.

    Result: A calendar of campaigns placed before each buying season.

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.

Where should a small social enterprise start?
With product pages that carry real detail and a way to enquire. Channels like search and chat then have somewhere to send people.
Do we need paid ads?
Not at the start. Add them once a page converts enquiries into orders and the makers can supply more. Check the platform's current rules first.
How do we measure success?
By enquiries, quotes sent, orders won and repeat buyers, shown by source. We do not promise numbers; we make them visible.
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.
