Remodelling and home improvement contractors · Email marketing
The kitchen client from four years ago is quoting the bathroom to strangers.
Email for a remodelling company holds an enquiry through the months before a homeowner is ready, and goes back to past clients about the room they still have not done. GullySales writes both sequences and runs them off your own project records.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

What email marketing means
Email marketing is sending planned messages to a list of past and prospective customers who have agreed to hear from you. It suits offers, updates and staying in touch with someone who is not ready to buy yet. GullySales writes and schedules these emails and tracks who opens, clicks and enquires.

For remodelling and home improvement contractors
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“A remodelling list gets better with age”
The homeowner who enquired two years ago and did nothing is two years closer to spending. Most contractors delete that list or never build one at all.
“Past clients are a room list, not a mailing list”
Your records already say who has done the kitchen and not the primary bath. An email about the room they still live with is a different message from a newsletter.
“The project update email is marketing nobody counts”
The weekly note to a live client gets opened every time and forwarded to family. Written properly it earns the referral before the job is finished.
What we do
What we deliver for remodelling and home improvement contractors.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A sequence for enquiries that are not ready
Dated emails carrying finished projects, cost updates and practical guides, running for as long as the homeowner takes, with calls scheduled alongside.
Result: You are still in the conversation when the money arrives.
A past client programme built on rooms not yet done
Every completed project recorded with the year, the rooms finished and the rooms remaining, with a reason and a month to make contact.
Result: Repeat work comes back with no lead fee attached.
Project updates written as a template
A format the project manager fills in each week covering progress, the next step and any change order, sent to the homeowner and kept on file.
Result: Clients feel informed and tell people so.
A referral and neighbour email
A note to the client at handover asking for names, and a message to past clients on the same street the week a new job starts nearby.
Result: One street produces more than one job.
The list kept clean and reported on
Unsubscribes honoured, addresses tidied, and a count of enquiries and consultations traced to email against the baseline recorded before work starts.
Result: You can see what the list is worth.
How the result is measured
- Open rate
- Click rate
- Enquiries from email
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.
What must be in place first
What a remodelling contractor needs in place before it emails a homeowner who is not ready.
- Permission from the enquiry itself
- Record that the homeowner asked for a quote or a design visit and agreed to hear from you afterwards. Note the date and the room discussed. Without that note, a follow-up is a cold mail.
- A budget field on every contact
- Add the range the homeowner gave you, or a note that they did not. Mail for a kitchen refit and mail for a bathroom update differ, and a wrong guess wastes the one chance you have.
- A list split by room and by stage
- Keep enquiries still saving, signed clients and finished projects on separate lists. A finished-kitchen client should never receive the sequence meant for someone who has not yet decided.
- A sender who is a real person
- Send from the designer or owner who met them, on your own domain, with a plain signature and a postal address. Replies must reach someone who knows the site.
- Photographs you have the right to use
- Only mail project photos the homeowner has agreed in writing you may show. Keep that agreement with the project file and check it before each send.
- An unsubscribe line that works
- Add a clear opt-out to each mail and honour it at once. A homeowner who opts out of the sequence may still want a call about a finished project, so ask which.

How it works
From your first message to the first report.
No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.
First
Your brief
You tell us what you need in a few short steps: your business, what you want, where enquiries come from and how they are handled.
After the brief
A conversation and a written scope
We read it, then talk with whoever handles your enquiries. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come in writing, and nothing starts before you have read them.
Before work starts
Baseline recorded
The numbers this work is meant to move, such as enquiries, quotations, orders, visits or renewals, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.
After the baseline
The first fix goes live
The fix we agreed to start with is put in place and measured against the baseline, whether that is a reply, a follow-up, a page, a listing or the handover between marketing and sales.
As agreed
Report against the baseline
What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words. How often you get it is set in writing before work starts.
At renewal
Renew on the numbers
The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. The length is agreed in writing before anything starts.
How the email marketing work runs
- 1
Understand your list
We review who is on the list, how they got there, and how long it has been since they last heard from you.
- 2
Audit past sends
We check open and click rates from past emails to see what has and has not worked.
- 3
Segment and plan
The list is split into meaningful groups and a sending calendar is agreed.
- 4
Implement content and automation
Emails are written, scheduled and, where useful, set to trigger automatically based on behaviour.
- 5
Measure and optimise
We track performance and adjust subject lines, timing and content based on what the list responds to.
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 later 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 guarantees we cannot keep
The term is agreed in writing and never a default twelve months. We never promise a ranking or a lead count, because nobody controls those.
Hours that fit your day, agreed up front
Which hours we overlap with yours is settled before any work starts, so you know when a reply is coming and when it is not.
