Plumbing and sanitaryware distributors · Content marketing

Publish the answers a plumber or a retailer would otherwise ring you to ask.

Content marketing for a plumbing distributor is the guides, size sheets and product notes that answer what buyers put to your order desk. GullySales works on picking those subjects from real calls and placing the finished pages on your website, your Maps listing and your WhatsApp.

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

What content marketing means

Content marketing is writing articles, guides and pages that answer the questions buyers search before they are ready to enquire. This makes your business visible and trusted before the first call. GullySales plans this content from the first conversation onward, choosing topics that match real search demand rather than guesses.

For plumbing and sanitaryware distributors

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

  • “The order desk already knows the questions”

    Calls about which CPVC fitting joins which pipe, or which closet suits a given waste outlet position, repeat through the week. Each repeated question is a subject for a page, and the salesman who keeps answering it is the best source.

  • “A size chart counts as content”

    Retailers keep a photograph of a distributor's size and thread chart on the phone and open it at the counter. An accurate chart carrying your name stays in use long after an advert has been forgotten.

  • “The brand's catalogue is public; your delivery area is not”

    Every distributor can download the same catalogue. Nobody else publishes which towns you deliver to, which route the truck takes on which day, and how a breakage claim is settled. That is yours to write.

  • “Project buyers read before they ring”

    A contractor planning a block of bathrooms reads about hot-water line material, drainage gradients and fitting compatibility before asking for rates. A guide that explains the choice between pipe systems, with your range named, earns the first call.

What we do

What we deliver for plumbing and sanitaryware distributors.

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

  1. A topic list drawn from order desk calls

    Questions logged by the people who answer the phone, ranked by how often they return.

    Result: Each subject links to a real question from a real caller.

  2. Fitting and compatibility guides

    Plain pages on joining CPVC, UPVC and SWR systems, solvent cement and thread types, checked by a senior salesman before they go up.

    Result: Each guide carries the name of the person who checked it.

  3. Size and range sheets to save

    One-page sheets a retailer can keep on the phone and forward to a plumber.

    Result: Your name sits on a sheet that is used at the counter.

  4. A delivery area and claims page

    Towns served, how an order is placed and how a damaged or short delivery is reported.

    Result: A buyer can read how a claim works before placing an order.

  5. Brand-checked product notes

    Notes on new lines, read against the brand's own datasheet so nothing contradicts it.

    Result: Every note names the datasheet it was checked against.

How the result is measured

  • Pages published
  • Organic traffic
  • Enquiries from content pages

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

Posts and pieces to plan

Pages and sheets that answer what a plumber or shop owner would ring you to ask.

Which fitting joins CPVC to a GI line
A short page with a drawing from the manufacturer's sheet and the fitting names. It is the question the counter answers most, so writing it down saves the counter's time.
Pipe sizes for a bathroom, kitchen and tank line
A table of common sizes by use, checked against the brand's catalogue, with a link to ask for a quote. Plumbers save it and send it to the shop.
Towns you deliver to and how to order
A page that lists the routes, the minimum order and whom to ring. A retailer outside your area learns early not to ask.
What a builder needs to send for a project quote
A checklist of quantities, floor-wise dispatch and invoice details. It turns a vague enquiry into a quote you can price.
Returns and breakage claims on the brand's terms
How a shop reports a damaged piece and what the brand accepts. Check the wording with the brand before publishing so the page does not promise what only the brand can.

Who it is for

This is written for these plumbing and sanitaryware distributors.

  • CPVC, UPVC and SWR pipe and fittings distributors
  • Sanitaryware and CP fittings distributors
  • Water tank and storage distributors
  • Multi-brand plumbing wholesalers supplying sub-dealers
  • Distributors with a bathroom showroom and a trade counter
  • Project suppliers to builders and contractors
  • Valve, pump and water heater stockists
  • District sub-distributors and stockists

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • You have no one at the counter who can check the sizes and fitting names, and a wrong table would send plumbers to the wrong shop.
  • The brand has not cleared your use of its catalogue, so product notes could be taken down later.
  • Your retailers order by phone with the salesman and never read a page, so effort is better spent on the visit.

How it works

How the content marketing work runs

The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.

  1. 1

    Agree the plan

    Topics and formats come from the content strategy and the buyer-question list. The volume goes into the written scope, agreed with you, not into a number quoted on a call.

  2. 2

    Brief and draft

    Each piece starts from its one-page brief and a short conversation with your technical person, recorded if they allow it, so the draft uses their words.

  3. 3

    Check the facts

    Your person marks the draft for accuracy and we correct it. Regulated subjects also go to your own adviser, because restrictions on claims apply to articles as much as to advertisements.

  4. 4

    Publish and distribute

    The piece goes live on your site, then out through the channels where your buyers already are.

  5. 5

    Read the enquiries and adjust

    Results are reported against the baseline recorded before work began. Topics that brought readers but no enquiries are changed or dropped. How often you are reported to is agreed in writing.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 0, foundation. The audit comes before it, and sales management keeps it running.

  1. Step 1

    Sales audit

    Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.

    Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.

  2. Step 2 · you are here

    Sales process design

    One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.

    Start here if every salesperson sells differently.

  3. Step 3

    Sales management

    A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.

    Start here if the team has targets and no routine.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

The brand already publishes guides. Do we still need ours?
Use the brand's guides as the reference. Write for the gap: the question a retailer asks you that the brand's guide leaves out, and the local detail of stock, delivery and claims.
Who should write the pages?
Someone who knows the trade writes or checks every page. GullySales drafts from your salesmen's answers and the order desk's call notes, and a senior person reads each draft before it goes up.
Do we need a blog?
Not one built on dated posts. A small set of pages kept correct is worth more. Add a page when a new question keeps arriving at the desk.
Can we publish the brand's size chart as our own?
Credit the brand and link to its sheet, or rebuild a simpler table from it with the brand's approval. Brands hold the rights to their catalogues, and a copied chart goes stale the day the brand revises a size, leaving your page wrong.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
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.
