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.

Sales and marketing for theatre and performing arts companies, the overview.

For theatre and performing arts companies

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

  • “Each channel has a role”

    Search catches people looking for a show now, social media builds interest before opening, and WhatsApp holds the regulars. A plan that names each role avoids a scattered effort.

  • “An advertisement needs somewhere to land”

    A paid post for a play that sends people to a home page loses them. It needs a page with the date, the venue, the language and the ticket link.

  • “Timing matters more than volume”

    A company that announces early and keeps reminding the audience reaches more people than one that posts frantically in the final week. The calendar should lead the content.

  • “Few numbers tell the story”

    Ticket sales by source, workshop enquiries and sponsor conversations show what is working. Page views alone say little about the seats filled.

What we do

What we deliver for theatre and performing arts companies.

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

  1. A digital plan for the production calendar

    A simple plan from announcement to closing night, covering search, social and messaging.

    Result: The team knows what runs when.

  2. Landing pages for productions and services

    A page for each play and each service, built to receive visitors from posts and advertisements.

    Result: Every campaign has a matching page.

  3. Paid promotion where it suits

    Search or social advertising for a production or workshop, with a budget the company sets.

    Result: The company can see where its spend goes.

  4. Source tracking for tickets and enquiries

    A way of noting which channel brought each sale or enquiry.

    Result: The company knows which channel earns attention.

  5. A review after each production

    A conversation on what worked and what to change for the next.

    Result: Each run informs the next plan.

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

The searches a company's pages must answer so the other channels have somewhere to send people.

play name plus tickets
The production page with the date, hall and booking link. Every advert, post and message about the show points here, so a person who searches the title lands on the same page.
theatre workshop for school
The workshop page that a paid advert or an email to a school sends the reader to. It carries age groups, what is needed and the enquiry route.
weekend plays in your city
A page or listing line for the current run, written so a person planning a weekend sees language, date and hall without opening a second page.
theatre sponsorship opportunities
The sponsor page that an outreach email links to, with audience, venue, credits and a contact, so a sponsor can respond without asking for a deck.
company name
The home page and profile that a person types after hearing of the company at a show. It shows the next production first.

Who it is for

This is written for these theatre and performing arts companies.

  • Kannada, Hindi, Marathi, Tamil and English theatre groups
  • Dance companies for Bharatanatyam, Kathak and contemporary work
  • Children's theatre and storytelling groups
  • Musical theatre and stage show producers
  • Street theatre and social-message theatre groups
  • Opera, western classical and choir ensembles
  • Theatre-in-education companies working with schools
  • Corporate theatre and training drama troupes

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • There is no booking page or enquiry route yet, so an advert or a post would send people to a dead end.
  • The company has no production in the next season, and spending on reach before a show is fixed would promote nothing.

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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need
How much should a small company spend?
As much as the company can afford to lose while it learns. GullySales promises no sales. Start with one production, one audience and a small budget, and read the results.
Do we need all the channels?
No. Begin with the website and the channel your audience uses the most. Add others when someone can look after them.
How do we measure success without a large team?
Count tickets by source and enquiries by type. Those two lists show the company where its effort lands.
Should a company with a short run promote after opening night?
Promote only while seats remain, and say so on the page. A run that is full draws a reader who cannot book, so move the message to the next production and keep a sign-up for the following date.
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.
