Industrial automation companies · Email marketing
Write to the plants you commissioned before somebody else does.
Email for an integrator is how the installed base hears about obsolescence, spares, software versions and contract renewals before a breakdown decides it. GullySales builds the list from your commissioning records and times each send to warranty and budget dates.
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 industrial automation companies
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Your installed base is the best list you own”
Every line you commissioned has a controller version, a warranty date and an engineer who already trusts you.
“Maintenance contracts are lost by silence”
Nobody rings the plant, the year passes, and the next breakdown call goes to whoever answers fastest.
“Budget months decide the send”
Capital spending is fixed in the weeks before the financial year, and that is when an upgrade note gets read.
What we do
What we deliver for industrial automation companies.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
An installed base record behind every mail
Every commissioned line with its controller, software version, warranty date and the engineer who did the work, kept in one place.
Result: You can write to the right plants on any subject.
An obsolescence notice by controller family
A short note to the plants running a family going out of support, with the risk, the spares position and the migration options.
Result: The upgrade conversation starts before a failure.
Maintenance renewal notes with dates
A mail before each warranty or contract expiry, covering what it includes, response times and the price, early enough to be budgeted.
Result: Renewals stop depending on somebody remembering.
A note timed to the capex months
One upgrade idea sent while plant heads are fixing next year's capital budget, with the payback arithmetic attached.
Result: You are in the plan before the tender.
A spares and software bulletin
Version updates, recommended spares and end-of-life parts sent to the maintenance heads on your installed base.
Result: Maintenance heads keep your mail in a folder.
Replies and enquiries tracked by list
What each send produced, counted as replies, enquiries and quotes rather than opens, against the baseline taken before the work starts.
Result: You write more of what got answered.
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 automation company needs in place before it emails plants and OEMs.
- A commissioning record per plant
- Log each site with the controller or drive make and model, the firmware or software version, the commissioning date and the warranty end. Obsolescence mail only works when it names the real part.
- Technical and commercial contacts separated
- The maintenance head cares about spares and downtime. The plant head cares about throughput and budgets. The purchase officer cares about price and terms. Tag each, and write to one with one message.
- Technical notes reviewed by an engineer
- Any mail on obsolescence, firmware or safety must be checked by an application engineer before it goes out. A wrong part number in a bulk mail is hard to withdraw.
- Brand and partner documents in order
- If you are an authorised channel partner, keep your partner status and the brand's current datasheets and notices in files you may share. Do not use a brand's logo or claims beyond your agreement.
- A reply route to the service desk
- Add a support number beside the address, and route replies to a person who can open a ticket. A maintenance head reading a spares notice during a breakdown will reply at once.

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
