Mineral export companies · Content marketing
Publish the specification notes and shipping guides an importer forwards to the plant.
Content marketing for a mineral exporter means writing the sheets, guides and explanations that an importer, agent or plant engineer reads and passes on while deciding on a supplier. GullySales drafts them from your own specifications, packing and loading records, in plain English.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

What content marketing means
Content marketing is writing articles, guides and pages that answer the questions buyers search before they are ready to enquire. This makes your business visible and trusted before the first call. GullySales plans this content from the first conversation onward, choosing topics that match real search demand rather than guesses.

For mineral export companies
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The plant engineer reads what the trader forwards”
The person who orders may not be the person who approves the grade. A clear sheet that explains size, purity and use lets the trader forward the product to the plant without translating or guessing. A well-built document travels further than a message.
“Explaining the grade answers the first question”
Buyers new to your mineral wonder how it differs from a nearby grade or another origin. A short article on what the grade is, how it is tested and what it suits saves a round of messages and shows that you know the material.
“Shipping content calms the first-order nerves”
A first container is a risk for the importer. A guide describing how you load, seal, photograph and document a shipment tells the buyer what will happen. Write it as steps in the order they take place, and keep to what you do.
“Old content is a quiet fault”
A sheet with an outdated specification or a closed port can cost you a buyer. Each piece needs a named owner and a check each time the product or the loading arrangement changes.
What we do
What we deliver for mineral export companies.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
Specification sheets
One clear sheet per mineral and grade with size, packing, loading port, minimum lot and use.
Result: An importer can forward one sheet to the plant.
Grade explainers
Short articles on what each grade is and what it suits, written for a buyer who does not know your region.
Result: A new buyer understands your grade before sending a question.
Loading and inspection guide
A page and printable guide covering how a lot is stacked, loaded, sealed and photographed, and what inspection options exist.
Result: The first-time buyer can see the steps before agreeing.
Case notes from real shipments
Descriptions of shipments actually made, with the buyer's name only where the buyer agrees.
Result: Each note refers to a shipment in your own records.
Content calendar and owner list
A list of every sheet and article, who maintains it and when it is next checked against the yard.
Result: No published document sits unchecked after a change.
How the result is measured
- Pages published
- Organic traffic
- Enquiries from content pages
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.
Posts and pieces to plan
Pieces a plant engineer or trader would forward, written around the mineral you ship.
- Reading a barytes specification sheet
- A guide explaining specific gravity and the other parameters on your sheet for a drilling mud or paint buyer. Needs a real sheet to anchor it.
- How a container of ore is stuffed and sealed
- A step-by-step with photos from your yard and port. It calms a first-time importer by showing the order of the work.
- Granite block grades and what the importer inspects
- A buyer guide on veining, colour match and block size, with images of accepted and rejected blocks from your own quarry.
- What a sample tells you and what it does not
- A note for importers on why a sample passes while a shipment can differ, and what you do to keep lots consistent. Needs your own lot practice described honestly.
- Documents that travel with a mineral shipment
- A checklist of the papers an importer should expect, written with your customs broker. Keep it general and tell the reader to confirm current rules.
Who it is for
This is written for these mineral export companies.
- Barytes, bauxite and iron ore exporters
- Granite block and slab exporters
- Mica, quartz and feldspar exporters
- Industrial mineral and mineral powder exporters
- Manganese and chromite ore exporters
- Exporters shipping through merchant exporters or agents
- Mineral processors who have begun to export
- Traders who source across states and ship through one port
Not for
It is not the right fit if.
- Your lab reports cannot be shared, so the guides would describe parameters you cannot prove
- You have no one to answer the questions a published guide will bring in
- Your export rules for the mineral are in flux, and a published guide would be out of date within a season
How it works
How the content 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
Agree the plan
Topics and formats come from the content strategy and the buyer-question list. The volume goes into the written scope, agreed with you, not into a number quoted on a call.
- 2
Brief and draft
Each piece starts from its one-page brief and a short conversation with your technical person, recorded if they allow it, so the draft uses their words.
- 3
Check the facts
Your person marks the draft for accuracy and we correct it. Regulated subjects also go to your own adviser, because restrictions on claims apply to articles as much as to advertisements.
- 4
Publish and distribute
The piece goes live on your site, then out through the channels where your buyers already are.
- 5
Read the enquiries and adjust
Results are reported against the baseline recorded before work began. Topics that brought readers but no enquiries are changed or dropped. How often you are reported to is agreed in writing.
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.
