Garment manufacturers · Pay per click advertising

Ads bring the three-hundred-piece order, and you have to decide first.

Paid advertising for a garment unit buys search clicks from founders hunting a private label manufacturer, and LinkedIn attention from merchandisers. GullySales sets the campaigns against the order sizes you actually want, screens enquiries at the form, and reports on samples and orders.

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

What pay per click advertising means

Pay per click advertising (PPC) is paying a fee each time someone clicks your advert on Google or another platform. It puts you at the top of a search page immediately, instead of waiting for ranking to build. GullySales sets the targeting, writes the ad text and checks spend against enquiries received.

For garment manufacturers

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

  • “Search brings small orders, and that is the trade-off”

    The people typing manufacturer into Google are mostly starting out with a few hundred pieces. Decide whether a trial order is worth a slot on the line before spending anything.

  • “Negative keywords save a garment unit more than bidding does”

    Wholesale, buy t-shirts, jobs, franchise and fabric supplier all cost money and bring nobody. That list matters more here than the bid.

  • “LinkedIn reaches the merchandiser, never the founder”

    Sourcing managers sit there and do not search for factories. Reaching them takes a company page and outreach, not a search campaign.

What we do

What we deliver for garment manufacturers.

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

  1. Campaigns built round the order sizes you want

    Search campaigns for private label and contract manufacturing in your products, with the piece count you accept stated inside the ad.

    Result: The clicks come from buyers who can meet your minimum.

  2. A negative keyword list before the first rupee

    Wholesale, resale, retail buying, jobs, machinery, fabric supply and training enquiries blocked, so the budget reaches sourcing buyers.

    Result: Your spend stops feeding people looking for something else.

  3. Three qualifying questions on every form

    Product, piece count and delivery month asked before the enquiry reaches a merchandiser, with the tech pack invited as an attachment.

    Result: Only enquiries worth costing reach your team.

  4. A landing page per product

    The polo campaign lands on knitted polos, with fabric options, GSM, minimum quantity, sampling time and the factory photographs.

    Result: The click sees what it searched for.

  5. A corporate and uniform campaign for slow months

    Search campaigns for corporate T-shirts, event merchandise and uniforms, timed ahead of the months your lines have space.

    Result: Bulk repeat orders fill capacity between seasons.

  6. Reporting to samples and orders

    Each click followed through to the costing, the sample and the order, by product, against the starting baseline.

    Result: You can say which campaign produced a programme.

How the result is measured

  • Cost per click
  • Cost per enquiry
  • Enquiries from paid search

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

Searches to bid on and block

The searches worth paying for as a garment maker, and the ones to keep out.

Private label clothing manufacturer, such as T-shirt manufacturer in Tirupur
Bid. A founder looking for a factory searches this way. Say the products you make, your minimum order and what you handle, such as cutting, stitching and finishing.
Uniform and corporate T-shirt supplier searches
Bid, as its own campaign. Schools, hotels and companies order in lots with a date. Ask for the quantity, the fabric and the delivery date on the form.
Activewear, kidswear or ethnic wear manufacturer searches
Bid for the categories you specialise in. Give each its own ad group and page showing the garments, the fabric and the range of sizes.
Wholesale garments, cheap readymade and single piece searches
Block. Wholesale kurtis, readymade cheap, one piece and sample price bring small buyers. Add them as negatives or send them to a page that states the minimum quantity.
Tailoring course, fashion designing, job and machine searches
Block. Tailoring job, fashion designing course, stitching machine price and garment factory job come from workers and students. Add them as negatives.
Where the click lands, and what to count
Send each click to a product page with a form asking garment type, quantity, fabric and a tech pack. Count a form with a real quantity, a sample requested and a sample that led to an order.

Who it is for

This is written for these garment manufacturers.

  • Knitwear and T-shirt manufacturers
  • Woven shirt and trouser manufacturers
  • Women's ethnic wear manufacturers
  • Kids' wear manufacturers
  • Export-oriented garment units
  • Private label and contract manufacturers for D2C brands
  • Corporate, promotional and uniform garment makers
  • Activewear and athleisure manufacturers
  • Job work and CMT units

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • Nobody replies to a form the same day, and a paid enquiry left unanswered is money spent on a buyer who writes to the next factory.
  • You have not decided the smallest order you will accept, so the ads would bring in the price shoppers you wanted to avoid.
  • The unit has no landing page that states the minimum quantity, and ads sent to a general home page waste each click.

How it works

How the pay per click advertising 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

    Agree the whole budget

    We fix the total paid budget across platforms, who owns each ad account, and how much is open to moving.

  2. 2

    Audit tracking and accounts

    We check that conversions fire once, that calls and WhatsApp chats are counted, and that your enquiry sheet matches what the platforms say.

  3. 3

    Set one definition of success

    You and we agree what a qualified enquiry is and what an order is, so every platform is judged the same way.

  4. 4

    Build and launch the plan

    Campaigns are structured across platforms with shared naming and tags from day one.

  5. 5

    Read search terms and lead quality

    We review the queries that triggered ads and the enquiries that arrived, and remove waste before moving money.

  6. 6

    Reallocate and report

    Budget moves toward what is earning, within agreed limits. Results are reported against the baseline, at the frequency agreed in writing.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 1, prospecting and lead generation. 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.

Should we advertise on IndiaMART or Google?
IndiaMART if you can screen enquiries fast, because the volume is high and the orders are small. Google if you want brand founders and are ready to answer a tech pack properly. Most units try both, and we compare what each produced.
How do we stop ad enquiries wasting a merchandiser's day?
Ask three things on the form: the product, the piece count and the delivery month. Anyone unwilling to answer was not going to place an order. Your team then opens only what is worth costing.
Should we bid on competitors' names or on IndiaMART?
Seldom. Those searchers want that platform or factory. Use manufacturer and product words, and your own name in a small campaign. Read orders and samples by source, so you see which channel gives worthwhile buyers.
Do we need LinkedIn as well?
Use LinkedIn for merchandisers and sourcing heads at brands you want, with a case of a finished programme. Use Google search for founders. Treat them as different jobs and count the enquiry by buyer, not by platform.
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.
