Electrical and lighting dealers · Branding
The counter looks like a godown and the showroom has to look designed.
An electrical dealer has to look like two things at once: a counter a contractor trusts for stock, and a showroom a designer will bring a client to. GullySales settles the name, the two spaces, the rate list and the delivery vehicle so they read as one business.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

What branding means
Branding is what a customer remembers about your business beyond the product, including your name, colours, tone of voice and what you are known for locally. GullySales sets or corrects this once and applies it consistently across your website, signage and adverts so the business looks like one company everywhere.

For electrical and lighting dealers
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“A designer will not bring a client through a godown”
Premium lighting is specified by people who notice what a space looks like. A separate entrance, a darkened display area and somewhere to sit change which projects reach you.
“The rate list is a document with your name on it”
It gets forwarded, photographed and kept in a contractor's phone for a year. A clean, dated sheet carrying your terms says more about the business than the signboard does.
“Your name has to survive the brand boards”
Every wire and switch company will happily cover your front in their colours. Keep your own name and the trade you are known for at the top, readable from the road.
“The delivery vehicle is seen at every site you supply”
Material arriving on a marked vehicle tells a whole site who supplies this job. An unmarked tempo tells them nothing at all.
What we do
What we deliver for electrical and lighting dealers.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
Your name held above the brand boards
One legible shop name on the front, manufacturer boards placed where their agreements require, and the front lit after dark.
Result: People can name the shop they bought from.
Two spaces given their own character
A counter arranged for speed and stock, and a lighting area that can be darkened so fittings show properly, with somewhere to sit.
Result: Each buyer meets a shop set up for them.
A rate list worth forwarding
A dated sheet with your terms, delivery arrangement, GST details and contact, clean enough to be passed on without embarrassment.
Result: The document that travels carries your name well.
The delivery vehicle marked
Shop name, phone number and the trade in readable letters on the vehicle reaching sites every day.
Result: Every site you supply knows who supplied it.
A trade pack for designers and consultants
Brands carried, sample terms, project references and a named contact, in a document a practice can file and find again.
Result: You are remembered when a specification is written.
One look across counter, bill and screen
Name, colours and typeface used the same way on the board, the bill, the rate list, the vehicle and the Maps profile.
Result: The business looks the same wherever it is met.
How the result is measured
- Recognition in customer feedback
- Consistency across channels
- Repeat enquiries by name
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.
Positioning in one sentence
Fill this sentence in for the shop, and the counter and the showroom will both be easy to describe.
- Who it is for, counter and showroom separately
- Write one line for the electrician or contractor who wants wire, MCBs and switches quickly, and another for the family choosing lights for a new home. Mixing the two blurs both.
- What you sell, grouped the way people ask
- Use the groups buyers say aloud: wires and cables, switchgear, fans, decorative lights, LED panels, smart switches. A shop that says everything electrical is harder to remember than one known for chandeliers or for cable.
- What a buyer gets that the next shop does not
- Pick one you can keep: stock on the shelf today, a lighting plan for the whole flat, a replacement for a faulty fitting without an argument. Say only what the counter staff can repeat.
- The proof you can show
- Show the brands you are authorised for, photographs of homes you supplied with permission, and the years you have been at this address. Keep manufacturer logos where their agreements allow.
- Words every shop board uses
- One-stop shop, best price and all brands are on every board on the road. Replace them with what you actually stock deepest, such as a wall of cables or an entire range of pendants.
- The name and tagline test
- Check the name is readable from the opposite pavement at night. Make sure a lighting showroom name does not mislead the electricians who still need your trade counter.

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 branding work runs
- 1
Interview customers and team
We talk to real buyers, won and lost, and to people inside the business who deal with customers daily.
- 2
Review the competitive field
We look at how the nearest competitors present themselves so the position is not accidentally identical.
- 3
Draft the position
A first version of the positioning statement and messaging pillars is written and checked against what customers actually said.
- 4
Test it against real conversations
The draft is tried out in a real sales call or two before it is finalised, since a position that does not survive a real conversation needs rework.
- 5
Hand over the rollout brief
The final position, pillars and not-for list are documented for your team and any agency to apply consistently.
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
