Stationery and office supply dealers · Digital marketing
Spend on Maps, WhatsApp and the catalogue, in that order.
Digital marketing for a dealer of this kind is a calendar more than a budget, because the year has two spikes and a long flat middle. GullySales writes that calendar, repairs the listing and the catalogue first, and puts money only where an enquiry has been traced back.
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.

Sales and marketing for stationery and office supply dealers, the overview.
For stationery and office supply dealers
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The year has two peaks and you can name the weeks”
School reopening in April and May, diaries and calendars in October and November, exam supplies in between. The rest is maintenance.
“The catalogue is the campaign”
An admin who has your item list saved on her phone reorders without asking anyone. Nothing you post will beat that.
“Social media earns little here and we will say so”
Offices do not buy copier paper from a reel. Art, craft and gifting are the exception, because they photograph well and sell to a different customer.
“GeM is a channel, not a website”
Selling to government offices means listing products and watching bids on a portal. It has its own rhythm, its own paperwork and its own quiet months.
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.
A written year calendar
The school weeks, the exam weeks, the diary and calendar season and the quiet months, each with what happens, who does it and what it costs.
Result: Nobody is inventing next month's plan in the last week.
The listing and the catalogue put right first
Your profile, categories and item list corrected and published before a rupee goes into advertising, because both are already costing you enquiries.
Result: The free channels start working before the paid ones.
WhatsApp set up as an ordering channel
A catalogue on your business number, saved replies for the lists that repeat, and recorded consent for the accounts you message.
Result: Reordering from you takes less effort than opening an app.
Money put only where enquiries are traced
Each channel given a small test budget and a number to hit, with the ones bringing only price checks stopped instead of renewed out of habit.
Result: You stop paying for listings that bring nothing.
A GeM listing and a weekly bid watch
Registration, product listings and a check of relevant bids each week, done with your accountant, where there are government buyers near you.
Result: Government orders nearby become reachable.
One monthly page of numbers
Enquiries by channel, quote turnaround, accounts active this month and accounts that stopped, set against the figures taken in the first week.
Result: One page tells you whether the work is paying.
How the result is measured
- Enquiries across channels
- Cost per enquiry overall
- Channel mix by contribution
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, then reported every month against it.

Not for

How it works
From your first message to the first monthly report.
No open-ended retainer. Each step has a point in time and something you receive.
01 · Day 1
Free audit call
45 minutes with whoever handles your enquiries: how they arrive, how fast they are answered, where they are lost.
02 · Within a few working days
Written, scored report
Six areas scored, fixes ranked by return and cost. If you want our help, the scope and fee come with it, in writing.
03 · Before work starts
Baseline recorded
Enquiries by source, reply time, conversion and cost per order, written down so every later month has an honest comparison.
04 · Month 1
The first fix goes live
Usually the cheapest one on the report: reply time, a follow-up sequence or the marketing-to-sales handover.
05 · Every month
Report against the baseline
What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words.
06 · Month 3 to 6
Renew on the numbers
The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. No twelve-month lock.

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 monthly 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 lock-in, no guarantees we cannot keep
Three to six months at a time. 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.
