Pharmacies · Digital marketing
A chemist's market is two kilometres wide, so plan accordingly.
A pharmacy's whole market is a few roads across, which decides how much marketing is worth buying at all. GullySales repairs the listing and the phone first, sets up ordering on WhatsApp with consent recorded, and puts the rest of the effort into the clinics and care homes nearby.
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 pharmacies
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The two things already broken cost you the most”
A listing with the wrong closing time, and a phone nobody answers after seven. Neither costs money to fix and both are losing orders tonight.
“The rules decide the plan before the budget does”
What may be said about medicines shapes every channel, so the plan is written around service, devices and delivery from the first line down.
“One nursing home is worth more than any campaign”
A care home with forty residents orders every month, on a schedule, and pays against an invoice. That is built by walking in, not by advertising.
“An app can match your price but not your pharmacist”
What you have that no platform does is somebody who explains a substitute and spots a duplicated prescription. Build the plan on that.
What we do
What we deliver for pharmacies.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A plan sized to a two-kilometre market
What is worth doing at this radius and what is not, with the money named against each item and a reason written for leaving the rest out.
Result: You stop paying for reach you cannot serve.
The listing and the phone repaired first
Hours, categories, delivery area and a number somebody answers in the evening, corrected before anything at all is spent on advertising.
Result: The free channels start working this week.
WhatsApp set up as the ordering channel
A business number, saved replies, a record of who agreed to be messaged, and a simple way for a customer to stop receiving them.
Result: Regular families order from you directly.
An outreach routine to clinics and care homes
Which clinics, nursing homes, elder care homes and apartment associations to approach, what is offered to each, and who makes the visit.
Result: Institutional orders start arriving on a schedule.
A compliance rule applied to everything published
What may be said and what may not, written down once and applied to the listing, the site, the counter cards and every message.
Result: One rule covers every channel.
One monthly page of orders by channel
Walk-in, phone, chat, delivery and institutional orders counted with reply times, against the figures taken in the first week.
Result: You can see which channel is growing.
How the result is measured
- Enquiries across channels
- Cost per enquiry overall
- Channel mix by contribution
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, then reported every month against it.
Who it is for
This is written for these pharmacies.
- Independent neighbourhood chemists
- Pharmacies attached to a clinic or nursing home
- Hospital pharmacies serving outpatients
- Pradhan Mantri Bhartiya Janaushadhi Kendras and generic medicine stores
- Multi-outlet local pharmacy chains
- Franchise outlets of national pharmacy brands
- Surgical and medical equipment stores
- Pharmacies stocking Ayurvedic and homoeopathic medicines
- Twenty-four hour and late-night pharmacies
Not for
It is not the right fit if.
- You want a guaranteed Google ranking or a guaranteed number of leads. Nobody honest can promise either.
- You need enquiries by next week and have nobody to answer them.
- You want posts and reach reported, not enquiries and orders.
How it works
From your first message to the first monthly report.
No open-ended retainer. Each step has a point in time and something you receive.
01 · Day 1
Free audit call
45 minutes with whoever handles your enquiries: how they arrive, how fast they are answered, where they are lost.
02 · Within a few working days
Written, scored report
Six areas scored, fixes ranked by return and cost. If you want our help, the scope and fee come with it, in writing.
03 · Before work starts
Baseline recorded
Enquiries by source, reply time, conversion and cost per order, written down so every later month has an honest comparison.
04 · Month 1
The first fix goes live
Usually the cheapest one on the report: reply time, a follow-up sequence or the marketing-to-sales handover.
05 · Every month
Report against the baseline
What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words.
06 · Month 3 to 6
Renew on the numbers
The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. No twelve-month lock.
How the work runs for pharmacies
- 1
Assess
We check your listing hours and reviews, how quickly WhatsApp orders are answered, how many regular customers bought last quarter but not this one, and what your current promotions say.
- 2
Fix the counter and the phone
A WhatsApp prescription routine with a reply time the staff can keep, a delivery slot promise, and a stock check before confirming.
- 3
Know the regulars
A register of monthly customers from the billing data, with their refill dates and consent to be reminded, kept private and separate from marketing lists.
- 4
Promote what the law allows
Local search, the pharmacist's service, delivery and devices, wellness and baby care, with prescription medicines kept out of any advertising.
- 5
Keep them from switching
Refill reminders before the month's stock runs out, a check-in when a regular stops buying, and a reason to stay that is service, not only price.
Proof
What happened when owners fixed this.

Why us
Why owners pick GullySales over an agency.
Marketing and sales, as one job
Most agencies stop at the enquiry. We also fix what happens after it: the reply, the follow-up, the quote and the CRM.
The person on the first call does the work
No account managers in between. You are never handed to someone you have not met.
A baseline before anything starts
Your numbers are written down on day one, so every monthly report compares against something honest.
The fee in writing, split three ways
Our time, your media spend and production on separate lines. You always see what goes to us.
No lock-in, no guarantees we cannot keep
Three to six months at a time. We never promise a ranking or a lead count, because nobody controls those.
One office, and we say so
