Corporate gifting and gift businesses · Digital marketing

Fill the eight months between one Diwali and the next.

Digital marketing for a gifting business puts you in front of HR teams before their occasion, and in front of shoppers before Rakhi and Diwali. GullySales sets what each channel is for, in which month the spend happens, and what each one has to produce.

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 corporate gifting and gift businesses

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

  • “Two different buyers, one warehouse”

    An HR manager reading LinkedIn at her desk and a shopper on Instagram before Rakhi have nothing in common except your stock.

  • “The calendar is the strategy”

    Diwali from July, onboarding kits all year, dealer meets around conference season, New Year in November, Rakhi and Valentine's Day for the shop.

  • “Onboarding kits are the steady half”

    A company hiring in batches orders welcome kits every few months without waiting for a festival. That is the revenue that stops December deciding your year.

  • “Your photographs are the catalogue”

    Buyers cannot touch a product online, so the packaging shot, the branding close-up and the unboxing film are what the decision is made on.

What we do

What we deliver for corporate gifting and gift businesses.

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 the corporate and retail sides

    What search, LinkedIn, Instagram, IndiaMART and email are each meant to bring for each buyer, and which of them to stop paying for.

    Result: Two audiences stop being served the same post.

  2. A gifting calendar covering the whole year

    Occasion by occasion, when the searching starts, when outreach goes out and when the spend rises, from July through to the retail festivals.

    Result: Work begins before the brief is written.

  3. A photography and video standard

    Packaging, branding close-ups, hamper contents and an unboxing film shot to one standard for every range you actually hold.

    Result: The same images work on the site, the proposal and the marketplace.

  4. Pages and proposals that match

    Every occasion page on the site backed by a proposal format, so what a buyer reads online is what arrives in her inbox.

    Result: The follow-up does not contradict the advert.

  5. A steady push for kits and events

    Year-round outreach for onboarding kits, dealer meets and conferences, kept running while the festival campaigns are switched off.

    Result: Quiet months carry orders of their own.

  6. One view across every channel

    Briefs, samples and orders by channel and by occasion, read against the figures recorded before work starts.

    Result: Next year's budget is argued from evidence.

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 a gifting business starts

A gifting business starts with a few proposals sorted by budget per head, not with the full catalogue.

Proposals by budget per head
Build a few ready proposals for common brackets with images, packing and branding options. Note which HR contacts ask for more.
Sample routine
Send a sample box to HR teams before the festival season and note who received it, who replied and who ordered.
Photography and video
Photograph finished hampers well and use the same set on the catalogue, the proposals and the site.
Vendor registration
Prepare the documents most companies ask for in one folder, such as GST, PAN, bank details and company profile.
Gift shop counter listing
Correct the Business Profile with the festival range and an order number, for walk-in buyers.
What to leave until later
Leave paid ads and a second website until proposals and samples are working. A catalogue of every product confuses a buyer.

How it works

From your first message to the first report.

No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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 digital marketing work runs

  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.

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.

  • One office, and we say so

    Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru. We work across India by call and WhatsApp and travel when a session needs to be in person.

#257, 3rd floor, Sri Nanjundeshwara Complex, Nagarbhavi 8th Block, Outer Ring Road. How we work.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need
We do both corporate and retail. Should there be two websites?
One site with two clear routes is enough for most. The corporate pages need budgets, lead times and GST details. The retail pages need prices and delivery. Mixed on one page, they confuse both buyers.
Is LinkedIn worth the effort for gifting?
For corporate work, yes, because the HR and admin people who buy are there under their own names. Post the work you have done and use it for outreach. For the shop side it does very little.
How early should we approach HR for the festival season?
Earlier than feels natural, because budgets and approvals are fixed before the rush. Look at when your own past orders were placed and approach before that point. Record the date of each first contact so you can adjust next year.
How do we tell a serious brief from a price check?
Ask three things in the first reply: the number of gifts, the budget per head and the delivery date. A serious buyer answers. Log the answers, and send proposals first to the ones who reply fully.
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.
