Chocolate manufacturers · Digital marketing

Plan search, social, chat and email around the three ways chocolate gets bought.

Digital marketing for a chocolate maker is the combined use of search, social posts, messaging, email and paid advertising to reach gifting buyers, bakers and shops. GullySales sets the plan by buyer and season, so each channel has one job and effort is not spread thin.

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 chocolate manufacturers

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

  • “Each channel has a different buyer behind it”

    Search brings the corporate buyer with a brief. Instagram brings the shopper who likes a box. Email and chat keep the past buyer warm. Treating them as one channel hides which of them is doing the work.

  • “The calendar decides the budget”

    Gifting and wedding months pull enquiries together, and the quiet months are for pastry and retail outreach. A plan that spends evenly all year pays the most when buyers are not looking.

  • “Paid advertising needs a landing page that answers”

    An advertisement for corporate boxes that opens on the home page loses the click. The page it points to must show sizes, customisation, minimums and a form, or the money goes to waste.

  • “Advertising rules for food differ”

    What you may say about chocolate in an advertisement depends on rules that differ by claim and by platform. Keep to taste, ingredients and making, and have your own adviser look at the wording.

What we do

What we deliver for chocolate manufacturers.

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 buyer

    A one-page plan that states which channel serves the gifting buyer, the baker, the retailer and the online shopper.

    Result: Each channel on the plan has one stated job.

  2. A season-led calendar

    A calendar of gifting, wedding and baking seasons with the work due before each.

    Result: You can see what is due before every festival.

  3. Landing pages for campaigns

    Pages built for each paid or posted campaign, with a form and a clear next step.

    Result: Every campaign points to a page made for it.

  4. Tracking of enquiry sources

    A simple method of asking and recording how each buyer found you.

    Result: Each enquiry carries a source in its record.

  5. A review of what worked

    A reading of enquiries, quotes and orders by channel, with decisions on where to keep spending.

    Result: Spending decisions rest on your own enquiry records.

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.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need
Where should a small chocolate maker spend first?
On the page that wins your best-margin buyer. For some makers that is a gifting page with a quote form, but your orders decide. We read them before suggesting anything.
Do you manage advertising accounts?
We can plan and set up campaigns with you. The budget, the account and the final approval stay with you, and results depend on buyers, so we promise none.
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.
