Electrical and lighting dealers · Email marketing
Quotations, purchase orders and consultants all live in an inbox.
Email in this trade belongs to the project side: the bill of materials you priced, the consultant who wants a specification sheet, the fit-out firm raising a purchase order. GullySales builds that list, sends quotations in a form that survives, and leaves the counter on WhatsApp.
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 electrical and lighting dealers
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“A quotation on chat cannot be attached to a purchase order”
Project buyers need a document with a number, a date and terms that their accounts team can file. Sending it as a photograph is why you are asked for it again a week later.
“A consultant's supplier folder is an inbox”
A specification sheet and a brand list that can be searched six months later is how you stay on a project. Nothing in a chat window lasts that long.
“The monthly note to fit-out firms beats any advertisement”
New ranges, stock positions and lead times, sent to the twenty firms that buy in volume. Short, dated and useful is the whole formula.
“Retail customers will not read it”
A family who bought a chandelier does not open dealer mail. Keep them on WhatsApp and keep the list to people who buy against a purchase order.
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.
A project contact list worth keeping
Consultants, fit-out firms, builders and facility managers in your area, with the person who specifies and the person who raises the order.
Result: You write to people who place volume orders.
A quotation format that answers itself
Item list with brands and specifications, rates, taxes, delivery terms, validity and a contact, under a subject line that can be searched.
Result: Fewer quotations come back with questions.
A note on ranges and stock
One new range, the current position on fast-moving items and a completed project, short enough to read on a phone.
Result: You stay in mind between projects.
A specification sheet a practice can file
Brands carried, approved luminaire types, sample terms and project references, attached in a form that can be found again.
Result: Your name is there when a specification is written.
A follow-up rule on every quotation
A call date recorded against each quotation sent, with a short mail where nobody answers, until the outcome is known.
Result: Project quotes stop disappearing.
Consent and list hygiene
Permission recorded when an address is added, an unsubscribe line in each send, and inactive addresses cleared out.
Result: The list stays small and your mail keeps landing.
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 an electrical and lighting dealer needs in place before it emails project buyers.
- A project list kept from your own quotations
- Build the list from consultants, fit-out firms and contractors you have already priced. Note the project name and the date of the last quotation against each, so the next mail refers to real work.
- A brand and datasheet folder you can attach
- Keep current datasheets, IES files and warranty terms for the brands you stock in a shared folder, named by catalogue number. A consultant will ask for a specification sheet, and you should send it the same hour.
- A quotation template that carries the basics
- Include brand, catalogue number, rating, quantity, unit price, GST, validity date and delivery terms. A purchase officer filing it should not need to ring to find what is missing.
- The counter kept on WhatsApp
- Electricians and walk-in buyers ask for stock and price on WhatsApp. Leave that there. Email is for project buyers, so tag contacts by buyer type and do not send trade-counter news to a consultant.
- An opt-out and a reply route
- Add a one-line unsubscribe and send from a named sales engineer, with replies reaching the same person. A fit-out firm that asks for a revised BOQ should find one human, not a shared mailbox.

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.
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.
