Banks · Analytics and reporting

Know whether last quarter's campaign actually paid for itself in new accounts.

Marketing ROI for a bank means comparing what a campaign or channel cost against the value of the accounts and loans it actually brought in. It looks past clicks and enquiry counts. GullySales builds this comparison so spend decisions are based on outcomes, not activity.

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

What analytics and reporting means

Analytics and reporting is tracking where each enquiry actually came from, be it a search, an advert or a walk-in, instead of guessing which channel is working. GullySales builds this tracking from the first conversation and sends a plain report by enquiry source rather than by activity done.

For banks

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

  • “Enquiry volume alone does not tell you if a campaign worked”

    A campaign generating a flood of enquiries that convert poorly can look successful on a simple report while actually delivering weak returns compared to a smaller, better-targeted one.

  • “Different products need different return timelines”

    A personal loan campaign shows its return within weeks. A savings account or relationship-building campaign may only show its full value over a year or more. Comparing them on the same short timeline is misleading.

  • “Attribution needs to include the branch, not just digital clicks”

    A campaign's true return includes accounts opened at a branch after online research, so ROI calculations that only count online conversions understate the actual result.

What we do

What we deliver for banks.

The work available for this need. We agree the deliverables and responsibilities for your engagement in writing.

  1. Cost against actual accounts and loans

    A comparison of what a campaign or channel cost against the value of the accounts and loans it actually brought in, not clicks or enquiry counts alone.

    Result: You know whether a campaign paid for itself, not just performed.

  2. Return timeline matched to product type

    A separate return timeline for a fast-converting personal loan campaign against a slower relationship-building one, rather than judging both the same way.

    Result: A slower campaign is not wrongly labelled as failing early.

  3. Offline conversion included in attribution

    An attribution method that counts an account opened at a branch after online research, not only online conversions.

    Result: The true return of a campaign is counted, not understated.

  4. ROI review cadence matched to the product

    ROI reviewed at a shorter interval for fast-moving products like personal loans, and a longer one for slower goals like deposit growth.

    Result: Each product's return is judged on a timeline that actually fits it.

How the result is measured

  • Enquiries by source
  • Cost per enquiry by channel
  • Conversion rate by channel

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

What to record per campaign

The records a branch needs to judge whether a campaign paid for itself.

What the campaign cost
Note every cost in one place: media, printing, the event, staff time spent on it. A campaign that looks cheap because half its cost sat in another budget is not cheap.
Where each enquiry came from
Ask every new enquirer how they heard of the bank and write the answer on the enquiry record, including walk-ins, so branch sales are not left out of the count.
Which enquiries became accounts or loans
Mark each enquiry with the outcome and the product. Count accounts opened and loans disbursed, not leads, because a hundred enquiries for one rejected loan is not a result.
How long the product takes to decide
Judge a savings campaign on accounts opened soon after, and a home loan campaign over a longer window, because the decision takes longer. Set the window before the campaign starts.
What the account is worth to the bank
Use the value the bank already assigns to each product, from finance or the regional office, rather than inventing one. That keeps the comparison honest across products.
The decision you take next
After each campaign, write down whether to repeat, change or stop it, and why. The record of past decisions is what makes the next budget easier to set.

Who it is for

This is written for these banks.

  • Private sector bank branches
  • Public sector bank branches
  • Regional rural banks
  • Cooperative banks
  • Small finance banks
  • Business correspondent networks
  • NRI-focused branches
  • MSME-focused branches

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • The branch does not record where each new account came from, so the return could not be worked out.
  • You want a return figure to defend a campaign already paid for, and the records would not support it.

Before you decide

Agree the work. Know how to judge it.

Marketing ROI for banks: use these checks to prepare, choose the scope, and review what changes.

Bring the right evidence

List the decisions the report must support and where each number comes from. Identify differences between platform leads, CRM enquiries, accepted opportunities, and orders.

Make the scope clear

Agree definitions, source systems, reporting periods, and who checks the data. Keep media spend, production, and service fees visible rather than combining them into an unexplained total.

Check the work in use

Trace a reported result back to its source record and check for duplicates or missing outcomes. Compare like periods and explain changes in offer, season, or spend that affect interpretation.

Know when to change course

If a metric cannot change a decision, it may not belong on the main report. Fix missing sales outcomes before adding more charts of marketing activity.

These are discussion points, not a fixed package. GullySales confirms the deliverables, responsibilities, fee, and term in writing after reading your brief and speaking with you.

How it works

How the analytics and reporting 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

    Success definitions and record owners

    You and your sales lead approve what counts as a relevant enquiry and a completed order. We identify who maintains the sales outcomes and which records will support the baseline.

  2. 2

    Access and tracking decisions

    We check the available accounts and enquiry routes, then document tracking gaps. You approve the required access and any setup changes before implementation.

  3. 3

    Test enquiry acceptance

    Test submissions pass through the agreed forms, call routes, or WhatsApp links. Your team checks receipt, while we check the recorded source and distinguish click events from confirmed enquiries.

  4. 4

    Report format approval

    You review the report layout and cost definitions before recurring reporting begins. Reporting frequency and the engagement term are agreed in writing before work starts, rather than assumed.

  5. 5

    Findings and campaign handover

    The report goes to the owner, sales lead, and campaign operator as agreed. Your authorised decision-maker approves any recommended campaign changes, and the operator carries them out under the campaign management scope.

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.

What do we actually need to track this?
A consistent way to tag enquiry sources and a record of which enquiries converted, which we help set up as part of the reporting we run.
How often should ROI be reviewed?
Checked in the report against the baseline, whether the product is fast-moving like personal loans or slower like deposit growth.
Can we judge ROI if most customers still walk into the branch?
Yes, if the branch asks every new customer how they heard of the bank and records it. Without that question, walk-ins look like they came from nowhere, and any campaign that brought them in looks weaker than it was.
What if a campaign brought enquiries but few accounts?
Look at what happened in between before blaming the campaign. Check how quickly enquiries were called back, how many stalled on documents and how many were for products the branch could not offer. The fix can be in the follow-up.
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.
