Event management companies · Email marketing

Reach the HR team that books next year's offsite while budgets are set.

Email marketing for an event company works on the corporate side, where an admin or HR manager reads at a desk and forwards your proposal upward. GullySales builds the list, the reminder before their budget year closes, and the follow-up on a quote nobody replied to.

What email marketing means

Email marketing is sending planned messages to a list of past and prospective customers who have agreed to hear from you. It suits offers, updates and staying in touch with someone who is not ready to buy yet. GullySales writes and schedules these emails and tracks who opens, clicks and enquires.

For event management companies

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

  • “Families answer WhatsApp, offices answer email”

    A bride's mother will not open a newsletter. Her company's admin head will.

  • “Last year's client is this year's enquiry”

    Write to the team that ran last year's dealer meet before their budget closes, not after the brief goes out.

  • “A quote with no reply needs two dated follow-ups”

    Set both dates the day you send the quote, because in season nobody remembers to chase.

What we do

What we deliver for event management companies.

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

  1. A corporate list built from clients, exhibitions and lost enquiries

    Names, roles and companies from past events, exhibition visitor lists and the people who enquired and chose somebody else, kept in one place.

    Result: Everyone on the list has already dealt with you once.

  2. A note to last year's client before their budget closes

    A short mail to the team that ran last year's dealer meet or annual day, timed ahead of the brief going out rather than after it.

    Result: You are in the conversation before the shortlist is drawn.

  3. Two dated follow-ups fixed the day a quote goes out

    Both dates put in the calendar with the wording already written, because in season nobody remembers to chase a silent quote.

    Result: A quote nobody rejected does not quietly die.

  4. A proposal an admin head can forward upward

    One attachment carrying the agenda, the crew, the timeline and an itemised cost, written for a manager who has to sell you to her boss.

    Result: The person who liked you can put you in front of the person who signs.

  5. The list split by the event each company runs

    Contacts marked by whether they run an annual day, a dealer meet, a conference or an offsite, and in which month it falls.

    Result: The offsite mail goes only to the companies that run offsites.

How the result is measured

  • Open rate
  • Click rate
  • Enquiries from email

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

What must be in place first

What an event company needs in place before it emails corporate buyers.

A corporate list from real contacts
Gather the admin, HR, marketing and CXO assistants you have worked with or met. Note the event, the date and the budget year against each. Keep wedding clients on a separate list.
A proposal that survives a forward
Prepare a short deck or PDF with the concept, venue options, vendor list, a cost summary and your terms. The admin who reads it will forward it to a manager, so it must work without you in the room.
Budget-cycle dates on the record
Note when each company plans offsites, annual days and product launches. Mail them before the planning window, not after the date has been fixed. A calendar of past events is enough to start.
A portfolio you may actually show
Keep photographs and a short note for each event with client permission. Do not name a client or publish their staff's faces without written agreement. Describe the brief when you cannot.
A reply path to the producer
Send from the sales lead and route replies to the person who can quote. A client who asks for an alternative venue on a Friday evening should not wait until Monday.

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

    The numbers this work is meant to move, such as enquiries, quotations, orders, visits or renewals, 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 a reply, a follow-up, a page, a listing 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 email marketing work runs

  1. 1

    Understand your list

    We review who is on the list, how they got there, and how long it has been since they last heard from you.

  2. 2

    Audit past sends

    We check open and click rates from past emails to see what has and has not worked.

  3. 3

    Segment and plan

    The list is split into meaningful groups and a sending calendar is agreed.

  4. 4

    Implement content and automation

    Emails are written, scheduled and, where useful, set to trigger automatically based on behaviour.

  5. 5

    Measure and optimise

    We track performance and adjust subject lines, timing and content based on what the list responds to.

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.

Tell us what you need
Do couples read marketing emails?
Mostly not. Email carries the quote and the paperwork, and WhatsApp carries the rest.
Where does the corporate list come from?
Past clients, exhibition visitors, and the people who enquired and chose someone else.
Do we need consent to email a corporate admin we met at a trade fair?
Write once, personally, saying where you met and what you offer, and give an easy way to opt out. Add them to a list only when they reply or agree. A list of bare names from a stall has no consent behind it.
What should a mail after an unanswered quote say?
Ask one question: has the plan changed? Restate the date held and what you have blocked, such as venue or hotel rooms, and offer a short call. Do not send several reminders. One clear nudge is enough before you move on.
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.
