Mineral trading companies · Digital marketing
Give a plant in another state a reason to ring your desk before anyone else's.
Digital marketing for a mineral trader brings the website, search, LinkedIn, email and WhatsApp into one plan aimed at plant buyers and mines. GullySales works on choosing which channels deserve your effort and on the records that show which of them brought a lot.
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 mineral trading companies
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The trade runs on a small circle”
Most of a trader's business comes from known plants and known mines. Digital work earns its place by reaching the purchase heads outside that circle, who would otherwise never learn the firm exists.
“Paid advertising suits few minerals”
Broad advertising for ore or coal reaches many people with no purchase to make. Spend on it only where a narrow audience and a clear grade page exist, and check the platform's current rules first.
“Channels that do not talk to each other”
A website enquiry, a LinkedIn message and a WhatsApp chat about the same plant end up in three places. Without one record, the firm quotes the same buyer twice or misses the connection.
“Effort without a record of what worked”
A firm that tries everything and notes nothing cannot say whether the directory listing or the mailing brought the last lot. The record must carry a source against each new buyer.
What we do
What we deliver for mineral trading companies.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
Channel choice for your minerals
A short plan naming the channels worth using for the grades and regions you handle, and those worth leaving.
Result: A reasoned list of channels, with the ones dropped explained.
Grade page and profile
The website pages and company deck that state what you supply, where from and how lots are checked.
Result: Every channel points to the same pages.
Outreach to target plants
Email and LinkedIn notes to purchase heads on the target list, built from the persona profiles.
Result: Each contacted plant is marked in the record.
Single enquiry record
Enquiries from every channel logged in one place with their source.
Result: You can count enquiries by channel.
Source review with you
A reading of which channels brought confirmed lots, held with your team.
Result: Spend and effort follow what the record shows.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
