Lighting designers · Digital marketing
Choose the few online channels that reach architects and developers, and drop the rest.
Digital marketing for a lighting designer means deciding which online channels, among search, social media, email, messaging and the website, bring project teams to the studio. GullySales looks at where your past work came from and builds a plan around those sources.
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 lighting designers
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The studio is spread across too many channels”
A small studio tries a website, three social profiles and a newsletter, and keeps none of them current. A plan that picks the channels the buyers actually use is easier to keep up and shows better results.
“Visitors are professionals who judge quickly”
An architect arriving from a link decides in moments whether the portfolio is serious. The pages they land on must load cleanly, show work first and say what the studio designs without a search.
“Activity is not tracked against fees”
Posting, emailing and updating the site feel productive, yet without records nobody knows which brought a proposal. Each channel needs a count of enquiries and fees signed against it.
“Dealers spend more online”
Fitting suppliers have large budgets and wide reach. A studio competes by being specific: the right pages, the right introductions, and proof of independent design.
What we do
What we deliver for lighting designers.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
Channel plan from past work
A review of where the last projects came from, and a short list of channels to focus on.
Result: The studio drops activity that brings no enquiries.
Portfolio and service pages
Pages showing the work by space type and describing each service in clear terms.
Result: A visitor sees the studio's work and services at once.
Email introduction series
A set of short notes for architects and interior designers, sent to people who agreed to hear from the studio.
Result: Project teams receive a considered introduction.
Enquiry tracking
A record of enquiries by channel, with the ones that became proposals and fees marked.
Result: Each channel can be judged by what it brings.
Review of the plan
A regular look at the figures and a decision on what to keep, stop or add.
Result: Effort moves towards what is working.
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.

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.
