Market to the architect, the family and the association separately.
Digital marketing for a lift company serves three unrelated buyers: a specifier who needs drawings, a family who needs reassurance, and a committee who needs a service record. GullySales plans and runs all three, and measures orders and renewals rather than reach.
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 elevator companies
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The service base is a channel most firms ignore”
Every building you maintain has a committee that changes every year or two. A monthly service summary reaching them is worth more than a campaign.
“Specifier work pays years later and has to be funded now”
Visiting architects produces nothing this quarter and a great deal in two years. Judging it on this month's enquiries is how firms give up just before it works.
“Home lifts and project lifts need separate budgets”
One is advertising to families; the other is travel, drawings and meetings. Put them in one figure and you cannot tell which is working.
“The breakdown is the only marketing residents remember”
A stuck lift on a Sunday evening does more damage in the association group than a year of posting can repair.
What we do
What we deliver for elevator companies.
The work available for this need. We agree the deliverables and responsibilities for your engagement in writing.
Three plans running on one calendar
A specifier plan, a family plan and a service-base plan side by side, each with its own budget, message and measure.
Result: No buyer gets copy written for somebody else.
A baseline taken across sales and service
Projects specified, orders won, home lift enquiries, AMC renewals and breakdown response times recorded before anything starts.
Result: Later months have something to be measured against.
A service summary to every association
Visits made, parts changed and response times sent to each building you maintain, whether or not renewal is near.
Result: The committee sees the work between the breakdowns.
Specifier effort tracked on its own terms
Visits made, drawings issued and projects entered, reported apart from enquiry counts so a slow channel is not judged by a fast one's measure.
Result: Architect work survives its first quiet quarter.
Breakdown communication written into the plan
A message to the association when a technician is assigned and when the lift is running again, on every call.
Result: Residents see the response rather than guessing at it.
One report across orders and the base
Projects specified, orders, home lift visits, renewals, losses and response times in one sheet against the opening baseline.
Result: Sales and service get read together.
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 to start for lifts
Reach the architect with drawings, and keep the service base warm.
- A drawings pack for architects
- Prepare shaft size, pit depth, overhead and machine-room details for each lift type, in formats an architect can drop into a plan. Record who downloaded it and which project it was for.
- Service base list
- List every installed lift with the building, the association contact and the contract end date. Call before renewal, and note who renewed, who asked for a quote and who left.
- Breakdown call routine
- Decide who picks up, how soon a technician is told and what the resident hears. Write each call and its closing time, and reply to a public review about a breakdown with the facts.
- Home lift page and demo visit
- Show the home lift with photographs of real installations, the space needed and the demo slot. Record which families came to the demo and what held them back.
- Association service summary
- Give each association a one-page summary of visits, repairs and the lift log. Record the committee member who received it.
- What to leave until later
- Broad paid search for lifts and a large video series. Architects choose at design stage, so put early effort into the drawings and your service record first.
Who it is for
This is written for these elevator companies.
- Passenger lift companies for apartments and offices
- Home lift and villa elevator specialists
- Hospital bed and stretcher lift suppliers
- Goods and freight lift manufacturers
- Escalator and travelator suppliers for malls and metros
- Dumbwaiter and service lift suppliers for hotels and restaurants
- Independent lift maintenance and AMC companies
- Lift modernisation and retrofit specialists
Not for
It is not the right fit if.
- The company sells only through two builders it already knows, and a wider online plan has nobody to reach
- Your service team cannot take new maintenance contracts, and enquiries for them would be turned away
Before you decide
Agree the work. Know how to judge it.
Digital marketing for elevator companies: use these checks to prepare, choose the scope, and review what changes.
Bring the right evidence
Bring a recent won order and an enquiry that went nowhere. Trace how each buyer found you, what they asked, and who handled the next step. A channel list alone will not explain the difference.
Make the scope clear
Choose one offer and one buyer group first. Agree which part needs attention: being found, getting a useful enquiry, or turning an enquiry into an order. Separate recommendations from the work required to carry them out.
Check the work in use
A useful plan names the first change, its owner, the evidence behind it, and the number that will show whether it worked. Ask what has deliberately been left out and why.
Know when to change course
If your team cannot answer the enquiries it already receives, improve that handover before buying more traffic. If the offer itself is unclear, test it with buyers before adding channels.
These are discussion points, not a fixed package. GullySales confirms the deliverables, responsibilities, fee, and term in writing after reading your brief and speaking with you.
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
Campaign decision
You confirm the business objective and offer with GullySales. We agree which channels belong in this campaign and which requests need separate work.
- 2
Readiness and ownership
Channel owners confirm access, available material, and production responsibilities. Your sales lead confirms who receives responses, and we record the baseline before work starts.
- 3
Message approval
Your nominated approver signs off the campaign idea and message sheet. Questions about product claims or commercial terms go back to your team before production proceeds.
- 4
Production handoff
Each agency, freelancer, or in-house owner receives the approved reference and calendar. Material is checked for format suitability and agreement with the offer.
- 5
Release approval
The response route is tested and outstanding approvals are checked before release. If the offer changes, the revised message goes to every affected channel owner for replacement.
- 6
Sales reconciliation
Campaign responses are compared with the enquiry and order records your team provides. The review identifies missing source information and channel decisions for the next campaign.
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.
