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 export-import consultants

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

  • “One channel cannot carry the practice”

    Word of mouth in one cluster, a marketplace listing and a website each reach a different owner. Relying on only one leaves you exposed when that cluster slows or the listing stops producing.

  • “Search brings the unknown owner”

    A first-time exporter with no association finds you only through search or a referrer. That owner is the one your current referral network does not reach, so search matters most for new ground.

  • “Referrers belong in the plan”

    Forwarders, CAs and banks send enquiries that arrive with a personal introduction. Digital marketing here means an introduction page, a clear one-page summary of what you handle and a quick reply when they send someone.

  • “Spend without a record teaches nothing”

    If enquiries are not logged by source and outcome, the budget moves on instinct. A simple log of where each owner came from and whether they signed turns spend into a decision.

What we do

What we deliver for export-import consultants.

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

  1. A channel plan for your practice

    A short plan saying which channels you use for which owners, with reasons drawn from your past clients.

    Result: You know why each channel is on the list.

  2. Product and route pages

    Pages for the products and countries you handle, written to answer a specific search.

    Result: An owner finds a page about their own shipment.

  3. Search ads for stuck shipments

    A small set of search ads and one page for held containers and rejected claims, with a phone number that is answered.

    Result: Urgent searches reach a page that has a phone number.

  4. Referrer introduction pack

    A one-page summary and a short message for forwarders, CAs and banks.

    Result: A referrer can pass you on with one forward.

  5. Source and outcome log

    A log tying every enquiry to its source and whether it became a job.

    Result: Each budget decision rest on a record, not a feeling.

  6. A review of what to keep

    A discussion of which channels earned their place and which to drop, using the log.

    Result: The next plan keeps what worked.

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.

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

    Understand the objective

    We agree the one thing this campaign needs to achieve before choosing any channel.

  2. 2

    Audit available channels

    We assess which channels are realistic to run well within the budget and timeline.

  3. 3

    Strategise the central idea

    One message and offer is developed that will work across every planned channel.

  4. 4

    Implement across channels

    Each channel receives its own adapted version, launched on a shared timeline.

  5. 5

    Measure as one campaign

    Results from every channel are combined into a single report against the original objective.

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
Where should a small practice start?
With product pages and the enquiry log. Pages answer the search that leads to a call, and the log shows what is working. Paid ads and wider posting come after the basics exist.
Is digital marketing worth it if I get clients by referral?
It reaches the owners your referrers do not know. It also gives referrers somewhere to send people, so their introductions arrive better prepared. Test it against your referral numbers.
How will I know if it works?
Through the log of enquiries by source and outcome, which you can read yourself. GullySales makes no promise of volume, only that the record shows what each channel produced.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
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.
