FinTech startups · Digital marketing

Judge every channel by who completes verification, not by who clicks.

Digital marketing for a FinTech startup covers search, ads, social, email and WhatsApp used together to bring in verified customers. The measure that matters is the person who transacts. GullySales plans the channels, tracks them to that point and advises on where the spend should move.

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 FinTech startups

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

  • “Cost per install hides the real cost”

    An ad that brings cheap installs can bring nobody who finishes KYC. The report that stops at installs rewards the wrong channel and the board keeps asking why costs climb.

  • “Financial ads face stricter review”

    Platforms treat money products carefully and their rules change, so check the platform's current rules. A rejected ad costs time and sometimes the account, which is why wording is settled before launch.

  • “Channels work in sequence”

    A merchant may see a post, search the company name, read the trust page and then take a call. Counting only the last click gives credit to the wrong channel.

  • “A non-ad channel is the board's request”

    When paid cost climbs, owners ask for another route. Referral from accountants, search and partner co-marketing take longer to build but do not charge per click.

What we do

What we deliver for FinTech startups.

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

  1. A channel plan by buyer type

    Which channels reach merchants, finance heads and partners, and what each is asked to do.

    Result: A plan that gives every channel one job.

  2. Tracking from install to transaction

    Setup that links ad source, sign-up stage and first payment in one view.

    Result: A report showing verified customers by channel.

  3. Ad wording checked with compliance

    A claims list and a review step before any financial ad is submitted.

    Result: Ads that carry an approved line, not a hopeful one.

  4. A referral and partner channel

    Material and routes for CAs, distributors and partner co-marketing.

    Result: A channel that does not charge for every click.

  5. A spend review

    A look at which channels brought verified customers and where spend should move.

    Result: A recommendation grounded in your own record.

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

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 digital marketing work runs

  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.

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.

How much should we spend on ads?
It depends on what a verified customer is worth to you, which only your own figures show. GullySales starts from that value and sets a test budget you can afford to lose.
Which channel works best for FinTech?
No channel wins everywhere. Merchant products lean on referral and field work, and finance-team products on search and LinkedIn. Your own tracking settles it.
Should we hire an agency or an in-house marketer?
Either can work. What matters is a person who owns the tracking and the claims check. GullySales can run the work or train your team on it.
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.
