Industrial mineral suppliers · Digital marketing
Run one set of channels that all point to a grade page and a sample form.
Digital marketing for a mineral supplier is the combined use of search, marketplaces, LinkedIn and WhatsApp to reach plant buyers and bring them to a sample request. GullySales works on which channels earn a place, and on the record that shows what each one brought.
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 industrial mineral suppliers
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Marketplaces rent you the buyer”
IndiaMART and similar sites bring enquiries but hold the relationship. Stopping the subscription ends the flow. A supplier who also owns grade pages and a contact route keeps some of the buyers when the marketplace changes its terms.
“Paid search suits a few grades only”
Clicks on mineral phrases can be dear and the buyer pool is small. Paid search may fit a grade in short supply elsewhere or a new product being introduced. It is poor value for a grade every supplier quotes at the same rate.
“Each channel needs a destination that makes sense”
An advertisement for bentonite for foundry that lands on the homepage loses the buyer. It should land on the bentonite page, with its sheet and a sample form, so the click ends in a request, not a search through menus.
“Without a source record every channel looks equal”
If enquiries are not tagged, the owner cannot tell whether a trial lot came from the marketplace, a search or a visit. Effort then follows habit. A source field on each enquiry shows what is working and what is not.
What we do
What we deliver for industrial mineral suppliers.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
Channel plan by grade
A plan stating which channels serve which minerals, based on buyer behaviour and freight range.
Result: Each grade has a stated set of channels and a reason.
Landing page for each campaign
A page per grade or sector that receives clicks and ends in a sample request.
Result: Each campaign has a page built for it.
Marketplace and own-site alignment
Listing and page wording matched, so grade figures never differ between them.
Result: A buyer sees the same figures on every channel.
Source tagging on enquiries
A source field on every enquiry, filled for calls, forms, messages and marketplace leads.
Result: You can name where each trial lot started.
Budget review with your owner
A discussion of what has been spent on each channel and what it brought to the sample stage.
Result: Spend is judged on samples and trial lots, not clicks.
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.

Sales process design
One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.
