Art and craft stores · Digital marketing
Join the listing, the guides and WhatsApp into one route from search to counter.
Digital marketing for an art and craft store is the set of online channels that bring buyers to the shop or to a WhatsApp order: the map listing, search, social posts and messages. GullySales works on how these channels connect, so a buyer who finds one is carried to the next.
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 art and craft stores
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Each channel works alone, so the buyer drops out”
A buyer sees a reel, searches for the shop, finds an old listing and gives up. When the reel, the listing and the WhatsApp route say the same thing, the buyer arrives at the counter.
“Spend follows the calendar, not the month”
Project terms, holiday camps and festivals decide when buyers search. Money and effort placed ahead of those dates reach buyers who are about to buy; the same money in a quiet week reaches no one.
“A promotion needs a price the counter honours”
A reel quoting a bundle price brings buyers who expect that price. If the counter quotes another number, the buyer leaves with a complaint. One price, written once, serves every channel. Write the price once on the shared sheet before any channel uses it.
“Not every item deserves an advert”
A school glue stick sells itself. The imported brush set, the resin kit and the calligraphy range are where a hobbyist's trip is decided, so these get the pages and the posts. Spend effort where a trip across the city is decided.
What we do
What we deliver for art and craft stores.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A channel plan for the shop
A plain plan naming which channel does what: map listing, guides, posts, WhatsApp and any paid ads.
Result: Each channel has one job on paper.
A shared price and offer sheet
One sheet of bundle prices and offers used by the counter, the posts and the listing.
Result: Every channel quotes the same number.
A seasonal calendar
Project terms, holiday camps and festival dates with the pages and posts due before each.
Result: Work is scheduled ahead of every buying season.
Priority item pages
Pages and posts for the specialist items that draw hobbyists, ahead of the everyday stationery.
Result: The items worth a trip are the ones promoted.
Enquiry source tracking
Every enquiry tagged by where it came from, so each channel's contribution is visible.
Result: You can see which channel sends buyers.
A paid advert test
If the owner wants it, a small advert for one item and one area, with a clear stop point.
Result: A tested advert with its result written down.
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
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.

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.
