Stationery and office supply dealers · Pay per click advertising

Advertise what a marketplace cannot do, which is deliver by four.

Paid search for an office supply dealer works in a small radius and a short season. GullySales builds the keyword list around the items and the delivery area, keeps students and job seekers out of it, and puts the real money behind April and May.

Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

What pay per click advertising means

Pay per click advertising (PPC) is paying a fee each time someone clicks your advert on Google or another platform. It puts you at the top of a search page immediately, instead of waiting for ranking to build. GullySales sets the targeting, writes the ad text and checks spend against enquiries received.

For stationery and office supply dealers

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

  • “You will not outbid a marketplace on A4 paper”

    Its budget is national and yours is one shop. Bid on the thing it cannot promise, which is a forty-item carton at the office by evening.

  • “Two months carry the whole year”

    A click in late April from a parent holding a school list is worth several from October. Budgets rarely look like that, and they should.

  • “The negative list matters more than the keyword list”

    Students wanting one pen, people looking for jobs, craft hobbyists and printing enquiries all spend the same budget as an office account would.

  • “The enquiry is a list, so the ad must invite one”

    An ad pointing at a product page wastes the click. Ask for the list on WhatsApp or a call, because that is how the order actually arrives.

What we do

What we deliver for stationery and office supply dealers.

Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.

  1. A keyword list built from items and areas

    Paper sizes, cartridge codes, pantry lines and the roads and estates you deliver to, rather than broad terms like stationery shop near me.

    Result: Clicks come from people buying what you sell.

  2. A negative keyword list kept current

    Students, job searches, wholesale enquiries far outside your area, printing services and craft hobby terms added as the search report shows them arriving.

    Result: Budget stops going to people who will never order.

  3. Call and chat ads inside the delivery radius

    Ads running in shop hours within the distance your delivery staff can cover, pointing at a phone number and a chat window rather than a form.

    Result: The list reaches you in the format you can quote from.

  4. A school season campaign with dates on it

    A separate campaign for kit lists and class-wise supplies, switched on in April, raised through May and switched off when the season ends.

    Result: You are visible in the weeks that matter.

  5. A landing page per campaign

    A short page for office supply and another for school kits, each carrying the delivery area, the quote promise and a button that opens WhatsApp.

    Result: The click has somewhere useful to land.

  6. Call tracking through to accounts opened

    Every call and chat from an ad recorded with what was asked for, followed to whether a standing account began, and read against the baseline.

    Result: You know what a new office account cost you.

How the result is measured

  • Cost per click
  • Cost per enquiry
  • Enquiries from paid search

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

Searches to bid on and block

The searches worth paying for as a stationery and office supply dealer, and the ones to keep out.

Item plus area, such as A4 paper bundle in Whitefield
Bid. An office admin who names the item and the area wants delivery from a nearby dealer. Name the paper sizes and brands you stock and the roads or estates you deliver to.
Toner and cartridge searches, such as toner for a named printer model
Bid by cartridge code. Buyers know the model, and they will compare. Show the codes you hold and say whether it is original or compatible, so the caller knows what they are asking for.
Office supply for companies, such as office stationery supplier for corporates
Bid in its own campaign. This buyer wants a standing supplier, so the page should offer a price list and a way to place an indent, and say what your minimum order is.
Printing, xerox and lamination searches
Block unless you run a print counter. They look similar to your searches, but the buyer wants a service within walking distance, not a supplier for an office.
Where the click lands
Send an office click to a page with a downloadable item list and a form for an indent, plus a WhatsApp button for a photograph of the list. A school click goes to the kit page.
Counting a real enquiry
Count a quote request with a list of items, or a call from an office. Count the enquiries that become a standing account as a separate line, since they are the ones worth the spend.

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 pay per click advertising work runs

  1. 1

    Understand the total budget

    We agree the full paid advertising budget available across all platforms, rather than planning each one separately.

  2. 2

    Audit current platform performance

    We compare existing campaigns on a shared basis to see where the budget currently performs best and worst.

  3. 3

    Build the cross-platform plan

    Campaigns are structured across platforms with a shared measurement standard from the outset.

  4. 4

    Implement and monitor

    Campaigns run with budget allocated dynamically based on real-time performance.

  5. 5

    Measure and reallocate

    We report performance and shift budget toward what is working, within agreed limits.

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.

Our ads bring students asking for one pen. How do we stop that?
With negatives and a tighter radius first, then with the ad copy. Say bulk supply or minimum order in the headline and most single-item searchers move on. Read the search report every week for the first month.
Should we advertise all year round?
No. Keep a small campaign running on office supply terms and save the real budget for April and May. In the quiet months that money does more work in your account register than in an auction.
Should the advert show the price of paper and toner?
Show a starting item only if prices are stable, because a stale price creates arguments. For office buyers, a quote on their list matters more than a single price, so ask for the list and reply with a rate.
Do we bid on the names of big online stationery sellers?
No. People searching a marketplace's name want that marketplace. You would pay for clicks from shoppers who will not call a local dealer. Compete on the things a marketplace cannot do, such as delivery on the day and credit.
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.
