Coffee shops · Digital marketing

Choose the few online channels that bring a seat filled, a bag sold or a pantry signed.

Digital marketing for a coffee shop is the full set of online routes to customers: the Google profile, the website, Instagram, WhatsApp, email and paid ads. GullySales works on deciding which of these suits the shop's revenue and then building them to work together.

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 coffee shops

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

  • “A shop has three revenue sources, not one”

    Cups at the counter, bags of beans and office supply each need a different route online. A plan that treats them as one audience spends effort on all three and wins on none.

  • “Everyday traffic is local, bean sales are not”

    A person walking past finds the shop on a map. A person in another city finds the beans through search and Instagram. Matching the channel to the source keeps time and money where they can pay for themselves.

  • “Paid ads suit moments, not months”

    An opening, a bean launch or a workshop gives ads a clear job and an end date. Running ads without such a reason pays for impressions that the Google profile would have earned unpaid, with no end date to judge it against.

  • “Channels that do not connect leak customers”

    A post that links to a page with no order button, or a profile whose phone number goes unanswered, wastes the attention already won. The route from first look to order has to work end to end.

What we do

What we deliver for coffee shops.

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

  1. A channel plan by revenue source

    A one-page plan stating which channels serve cups, which serve beans and which serve offices, and what each is expected to do.

    Result: You can see what each channel is for.

  2. A Google profile and website base

    The profile, the menu, the bean pages and the order route set up before any spend begins.

    Result: Every channel leads to something that works.

  3. A single calendar of the shop's moments

    Launches, festivals, workshops and slow-hour offers placed on one calendar with the post, message and poster for each.

    Result: The team prepares for each moment once, not three times.

  4. Paid ads only where they have a job

    A small, defined campaign for a launch or an event with a clear page to land on and a way to count enquiries.

    Result: Ad spend is tied to a named goal and a count.

  5. A simple measure sheet

    A list of the numbers worth watching: calls, direction requests, bag orders, office enquiries and list sign-ups.

    Result: You review a few numbers rather than a dashboard of many.

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

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. 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.

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.

Where should a new coffee shop start?
With the Google profile, correct hours and photographs, then a way for regulars to join a list. Add Instagram and the bean page next. Paid ads come later, for a specific moment.
Do advertising rules apply to a coffee shop?
Yes. Food and drink advertising is covered by rules that differ by trade and by state, and platforms have their own. Check with your own adviser, and avoid health and origin claims you cannot support.
How do we know digital marketing is working?
By the counts that matter to a shop: calls, direction requests, bags ordered online, office enquiries and people on the list. We set those up at the start so there is something to compare against.
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.
