Seafood exporters · Digital marketing
Put the plant where importers look: search, directories, LinkedIn and a clear site.
Digital marketing for a seafood exporter joins the site, search, directories, LinkedIn and email into one route from an importer's search to a sample request. GullySales works on choosing the channels that fit your products and markets, and on counting enquiries by source.
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 seafood exporters
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Importers use more than one channel”
A buyer may find you on a directory, check LinkedIn, read the site and email the export desk. If each shows a different product list or contact, the plant looks careless.
“Paid search suits narrow terms”
Advertising on broad seafood words wastes spend on consumers and students. Narrow terms, such as a species plus supplier plus origin, reach the buyer, but they need a landing page that matches.
“Directories need upkeep”
Listings in export bodies and trade directories carry old product names and contacts. A buyer who calls a dead number moves to the next name.
“Counting begins at the enquiry”
Without a record of where each enquiry came from, spend and effort get repeated on the wrong route. Source tracking is dull work, and it tells you what to do next.
What we do
What we deliver for seafood exporters.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
Channel plan
A plan naming which channels fit your products and markets, and which to leave alone, with reasons.
Result: A written plan with channels chosen and others set aside.
Directory and listing audit
Every listing you hold checked for product names, contact and links, with corrections listed.
Result: A sheet of listings and the fix each one needs.
Landing pages for campaigns
Pages made for a market or product, which a search ad or outreach message points to.
Result: A page for each campaign with a single route to ask for specifications.
Email and LinkedIn programme
Outreach sequences matched to the buyer lists, with the replies logged.
Result: A sequence ready to run on a chosen market.
Enquiry source count
Enquiries counted by source, product and market from your own records.
Result: A count showing which route brings importers.
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.
Searches your buyers type
These are the searches and listings an importer meets across channels.
- species plus supplier plus origin
- Narrow search ads for terms like frozen squid supplier India, sent to a species page that matches the words.
- export promotion body directory
- Your listing in a trade body directory must carry current products and a working contact. Check the body's own rules.
- B2B trade portal listing
- A profile on a portal buyers use, with species and plant photographs. Reply to enquiries from it on the same day.
- LinkedIn search for procurement heads
- A list of importer roles by market, with a first message naming the species they sell.
- trade fair follow-up
- An email and connection routine for contacts from a show, so the relationship does not wait for a sample request.
- supplier shortlist request
- A short pack for buyers compiling a list: product sheet, plant summary and a contact, ready to send in minutes.
Who it is for
This is written for these seafood exporters.
- Frozen shrimp exporters with their own processing plant
- Exporters of frozen and chilled finfish such as pomfret, seer fish and tuna
- Cephalopod exporters for squid, cuttlefish and octopus
- Dried and salted fish exporters
- Crab and lobster exporters, including live and chilled shipments
- Canned and value-added seafood exporters
- Merchant exporters who source from plants and sell under their own brand
- Exporters to the Gulf and South-East Asia who sell by the container to wholesalers
Not for
It is not the right fit if.
- You have no enquiry log, so you could not tell which channel produced a buyer and would spend blind.
- Your product list is not settled, and each channel would carry a different version.
- Your export desk cannot answer enquiries from more than one channel, so extra routes would only produce missed messages.
How it works
How the digital 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 one aim
We settle what the campaign must achieve, such as enquiries for a launch or footfall for an event, and the date it must be live.
- 2
Check what is ready
We list the channels you already run, who runs them, and what each can produce in the time available. Anything that cannot be done properly is left out.
- 3
Write the idea and the message sheet
We draft the one-sentence idea, test it against each planned format, and fix the wording that all channels will copy.
- 4
Brief every channel from the same sheet
Your agency, freelancer or in-house person receives the message sheet and calendar. Their work is checked against the sheet before it goes out.
- 5
Run on the shared calendar
Channels go live together. If the offer changes, every channel is changed on the same day from the same sheet.
- 6
Measure as one campaign
Enquiries and orders are read against the baseline. The reporting schedule is agreed in writing with the scope.
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.
