Shoe repair shops · Digital marketing

Put the shop where the broken shoe is searched, shown and asked about.

Digital marketing for a shoe repair shop joins the listing, the website, WhatsApp, social posts and small paid placements into one route from damage to drop-off. GullySales works out which parts your shop needs first and connects them.

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

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 shoe repair shops

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

  • “The order of work matters”

    A paid advert that sends people to an incomplete listing wastes the spend. The listing, the photographs and the reviews come first, because everything else points to them.

  • “Paid placement belongs to the busy weeks”

    A small local advert makes sense before school reopening, during the rains and ahead of wedding season. Outside those weeks, the same money does more as better photographs and a stronger listing.

  • “A shop with no spare hands needs a short list”

    The bench is busy, so a long plan stalls. Three or four jobs done properly, such as the listing, the photo-quote reply and a post a season, beat a dozen begun.

  • “Printed and online work are one chain”

    A poster on the shop wall with a code that opens WhatsApp joins the footpath to the phone. A customer who walked past once can then ask for a quote from anywhere.

What we do

What we deliver for shoe repair shops.

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

  1. A look at how the shop is found today

    A review of the listing, the site, the social pages and the WhatsApp profile, with a note of what is missing or inconsistent.

    Result: You see the gaps in one document.

  2. A short priority plan

    Three or four jobs in order, chosen for your location and your bench capacity.

    Result: The plan fits the hands you have.

  3. A matching set of details everywhere

    The same name, address, hours and phone number on the listing, site and social pages.

    Result: A customer finds the same shop wherever they look.

  4. A seasonal advert outline

    A plan for a small local advert before school reopening, the rains or weddings, with the wording and the area.

    Result: The spend is decided before the season.

  5. A poster with a link to WhatsApp

    A printed sheet for the shop wall that opens the Business chat from a phone.

    Result: A walker-by can ask for a quote later.

  6. A simple sheet of what to measure

    Calls, direction requests, photo quotes, batch jobs and repeat customers, read from the listing and the register.

    Result: You can see which effort brought work.

How the result is measured

  • Enquiries across channels
  • Cost per enquiry overall
  • Channel mix by contribution

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

How it works

From your first message to the first report.

No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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 digital marketing work runs

  1. 1

    Understand the objective

    We agree the one thing this campaign needs to achieve before choosing any channel.

  2. 2

    Audit available channels

    We assess which channels are realistic to run well within the budget and timeline.

  3. 3

    Strategise the central idea

    One message and offer is developed that will work across every planned channel.

  4. 4

    Implement across channels

    Each channel receives its own adapted version, launched on a shared timeline.

  5. 5

    Measure as one campaign

    Results from every channel are combined into a single report against the original objective.

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

    Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru. We work across India by call and WhatsApp and travel when a session needs to be in person.

Your brief

Tell us what you need, and we will read it before we call.

Eight short steps about your business, what you want and who decides. Most questions are a tap, and you can skip any you would rather answer on the call.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Where should a small shop start?
With the Maps listing, because it catches the person who needs a repair now. The WhatsApp photo reply comes next, and posts and adverts follow once those two work.
What budget do we need?
No amount is needed to begin, since the listing, posts and WhatsApp cost only time. If you add a local advert, set a figure you can afford to lose and watch calls against it.
Will digital work replace the walk-in trade?
It adds to it. The street still supplies customers who pass by, while digital work reaches those who search, ask on a chat or are sent by a school or office.
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.
