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 tile, flooring and bathware dealers

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

“Each channel brings a different buyer”
Maps brings the family driving to a showroom road. IndiaMART brings the builder and the sub-dealer. Instagram brings the designer's client, and none of the three can be answered the same way.
“The building calendar sets the spend”
A house that started at the monsoon reaches flooring months later. Money spent while local sites are still at foundation level is money spent early.
“Your display is the only material nobody else has”
Brand creatives are running on forty dealer pages in your city this week. A floor you delivered in a house two streets away is running on one.
“Trade relationships deserve a line in the budget”
Masons, plumbers and designers bring more orders than any advert, and keeping them takes samples, time and a record of who sent whom.

What we do

What we deliver for tile, flooring and bathware dealers.

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

A channel plan with a job for each one
What Maps, the website, search adverts, Instagram and IndiaMART are each expected to bring, and which of them are not worth keeping for your kind of showroom.
Result: You stop paying for a listing nobody in your city uses.
A calendar built on construction seasons
Campaign months set against when houses in your area reach flooring and when families push to finish before a griha pravesha date.
Result: Spend lands in the weeks when buyers are choosing.
Photography routine for the display floor
New arrivals, rebuilt displays and finished installations shot on a fixed routine, with the customer's consent recorded.
Result: The showroom online looks like the showroom today.
Website pages behind every campaign
Range, brand and bathroom package pages that an advert, a Maps post or the Instagram profile link can send a buyer to.
Result: Nobody is dropped on a home page and left to search.
One enquiry log across every channel
Calls, WhatsApp messages, marketplace enquiries and walk-ins recorded together with their source, so no channel is judged on impressions.
Result: You can see which channel produced a quotation.
A reading of the whole plan
Enquiries and visits by channel, quotations written and orders confirmed, set beside the numbers recorded at the start of the engagement.
Result: The budget moves to what is bringing orders.

Where to start for showrooms

Make the quotation something a family can carry home, and the listing something it can find.

The Maps listing and display photographs: Replace the blurred building photograph with clear pictures of the display floor, the bathroom sets and the entrance. Count the calls and directions the listing reports.
A printed room-by-room quotation: Write each quote with item codes, area, allowance for wastage, rate and delivery terms in a form that two dealers' quotes can be compared on. Keep a copy of each.
A WhatsApp shortlist after the visit: Ask the family for a WhatsApp number before they leave and send the shortlist with codes. Record how many shortlists become orders.
A register of masons and architects: Write the name on the quote and the final bill so each referral is on paper. Count orders by referrer when the season ends.
A page for each category: Write pages for vitrified tiles, sanitaryware and wooden flooring so people who think you sell only tiles find the rest.
What to leave until later: Paid ads on brand names and trend reels can wait until quotes are followed up and the listing is current.

Who it is for

This is written for these tile, flooring and bathware dealers.

Multi-brand tile and sanitaryware showrooms
Single-brand exclusive tile galleries
Bathware, CP fittings and bath accessories dealers
Wooden, laminate and vinyl flooring retailers
Granite, marble and natural stone dealers
Tile distributors supplying builders and sub-dealers
Premium imported tile and bathroom studios
Flooring retail and installation businesses

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

No one has been named to keep the website, the Maps listing and the enquiry log up to date, so a plan across channels would drift apart.
You have no display worth photographing yet, so every channel would show a brand's pictures and not your showroom.

How it works

How the digital 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
Agree the one aim
We settle what the campaign must achieve, such as enquiries for a launch or footfall for an event, and the date it must be live.
2
Check what is ready
We list the channels you already run, who runs them, and what each can produce in the time available. Anything that cannot be done properly is left out.
3
Write the idea and the message sheet
We draft the one-sentence idea, test it against each planned format, and fix the wording that all channels will copy.
4
Brief every channel from the same sheet
Your agency, freelancer or in-house person receives the message sheet and calendar. Their work is checked against the sheet before it goes out.
5
Run on the shared calendar
Channels go live together. If the offer changes, every channel is changed on the same day from the same sheet.
6
Measure as one campaign
Enquiries and orders are read against the baseline. The reporting schedule is agreed in writing with the scope.

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.

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.
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.
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.

Tell us what you need

Do we need a website if we are on Maps and IndiaMART?

Yes, a small one. It holds the ranges, the brands and the bathroom packages in a link your staff can send on WhatsApp, and every advert needs somewhere to land. It does not have to sell online.

Is IndiaMART worth it for a showroom?

It pays if you also supply builders and sub-dealers, and only if somebody replies the same day. Those buyers message six dealers at once. For a showroom selling to families alone, the money does more on Maps.

A family photographs our tiles and buys elsewhere. What can we do?

Ask, with their consent, for a WhatsApp number before they leave and send the shortlist with codes and rates. Note which shortlists become orders. A quote the family can compare at home keeps you in the decision.

How do we track a mason's referral?

Write the mason's or architect's name on the quote and on the final bill so the referral sits on paper, not in memory. At season's end count orders by referrer and spend your visiting time on those who send complete jobs.

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.
