Agricultural seed companies · Digital marketing

Plan the season online from the dealer's counter backwards.

Digital marketing for a seed company is the joined-up use of search, video, WhatsApp and a website to support dealers and reach farmers before sowing. GullySales plans each channel around the sowing window, the districts where you have dealers and the languages the farmers speak.

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 agricultural seed companies

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

  • “The channel follows the counter”

    Online work that points a farmer to a district where nobody stocks your seed wastes the visit. Plan campaigns only in districts where a dealer holds the variety. Check the dealer register before every campaign, and drop any district where stock has not been confirmed.

  • “The farmer is mobile-first, and sometimes only on a basic connection”

    Pages that load slowly or videos that need a strong signal are lost. Build for the phone and the weakest signal in the belt. Test every page and video on a cheap phone with a weak signal before the season starts, and fix what fails.

  • “Budget goes to the weeks that matter”

    Spend spread evenly across the year misses the buying window. Weight it toward the lead-up to sowing in each district, and hold some back for the second crop. Review the split after the first sowing window, and move spend toward the districts that produced dealer restocking.

  • “Several channels, one record”

    Search, video and WhatsApp each produce enquiries. If they land in separate places, nobody knows which one brought the dealer who restocked. Use one source tag on every form, link and message, and give the CRM one place to receive them. Review the tags at season end.

What we do

What we deliver for agricultural seed companies.

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

  1. Season digital plan

    A plan by crop and district showing which channel runs when, who owns it and what it points to.

    Result: A one-page calendar the whole team can read.

  2. Search and website basics

    Crop and variety pages, a dealer locator and a form that reaches the right person.

    Result: A farmer can find a page and a dealer in the same visit.

  3. Video and ad campaigns by district

    Short crop videos run to farmers within reach of your dealers, in the district language.

    Result: Ads reach only the districts on the dealer map.

  4. WhatsApp routine for dealers and farmers

    Broadcast lists, reply desk and consent capture.

    Result: Messages are expected and answered.

  5. Enquiry tracking across channels

    Each enquiry tagged with its source and sent to the CRM.

    Result: You can compare channels by dealers who restocked.

  6. Post-season review

    A review of which channels brought dealers and which brought only visits.

    Result: A written plan for what to change before the next window.

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 seed company begin?
With the dealer record, a few good crop pages and a WhatsApp routine. Those serve the counter, which is where seed is sold. Paid ads come after the dealer map shows where they would land.
Do we need a big budget?
No fixed amount applies. Spend follows the districts you serve and the crops you sell. A smaller plan aimed at the right districts and sowing weeks does more than a wide one spread thin.
How do we measure digital marketing for a product bought at the counter?
Tag every enquiry by source, then see which sources match dealers who stocked and restocked. Counter sales are not visible online, so the dealer register is the measure, not clicks.
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.
