Household products brands · Outdoor advertising

Put the board by the cleaning shelf, and the wall where the wholesaler's lorry stops.

Outdoor advertising for a household products brand is shop boards, wall paintings, hoardings and vehicle branding placed on the beats and wholesale routes where your pack is already stocked. GullySales picks sites against the outlet list, checks permissions and artwork, and ties each site to the billing of the shops near it.

What outdoor advertising means

Outdoor advertising is the hoarding, billboard, bus shelter or digital screen on a road your buyers already use. GullySales picks the sites from where your customers actually come from, coordinates the booking with the media owner, and gives the campaign a traceable route so it is not judged on guesswork.

For household products brands

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

  • “A highway hoarding in a district without stock”

    A big board sells nothing when the shop below it has never heard of the bottle. Boards belong where the distributor delivers.

  • “The board shows the brand and not the pack”

    A passer-by who sees only a logo cannot tell whether it is detergent or phenyl. The bottle, the job and the price point belong on the board.

  • “Wholesale markets decide more than passers-by”

    The kirana owner chooses stock in a market lane and not on the road. A board on that lane reaches the person who fills a hundred shelves.

What we do

What we deliver for household products brands.

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

  1. A site list built from the outlet list

    Shops, wholesale lanes and village routes where the pack is stocked, ranked by the billing near them, with the type of board each suits.

    Result: Money is spent where the pack can be bought.

  2. Shop board and glow sign plan

    Boards for retailers who agree in writing to stock the range, with the pack, the job and the price point on each.

    Result: A board marks a shop that holds your stock.

  3. Wall painting routes

    Walls on village and small-town routes chosen from the distributor's beat, with the owner's written consent and a photograph of each wall.

    Result: Villages on the route see the pack before the salesman arrives.

  4. Wholesale lane boards

    Boards at wholesalers' counters and in the market lane where retailers buy, agreed with the wholesaler.

    Result: The person who fills the shelves sees you first.

  5. Distributor vehicle branding

    Vans and tempos that deliver to shops, branded with the range and a number for retailers, within local rules.

    Result: The vehicle that reaches every shop carries the brand.

  6. A check by shop billing

    Billing in shops near each site compared with similar shops far from any, over the same weeks, with a note from retailers on whether shoppers mention it.

    Result: You learn which sites to renew.

How the result is measured

  • Sites booked
  • Proof of display received
  • Enquiries quoting the campaign route

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

How it is bought, and approved

How a household products brand buys outdoor, from shop boards to hoardings, and who has to agree first.

Shop boards and glow signs
Bought per shop through a local printer. The retailer's consent and a note on what the retailer will stock come first. Some towns charge a fee on signboards, so ask the local body.
Wall paintings on village and town routes
Bought per wall from painters who tour a district. Get the owner's written consent, photograph the wall before and after, and agree how long the painting stays.
Boards in the wholesale market lane
Agree with the wholesaler whose wall or shutter carries it, and ask the market association whether any permission is needed. Rules differ by market and change.
Hoardings and bus shelters
Bought by site and period from a media owner. Ask to see the local body licence and the landowner's consent, and visit at dusk to see the lighting and which way it faces.
Distributor vans and tempos
Bought per vehicle for a period, or agreed with the distributor. Check the local transport rules on vehicle advertising, and keep the wording the same as on the boards.
How to tell it worked
Choose sites near shops you already bill, then compare their billing with similar shops far from any site over the same weeks. Ask retailers whether shoppers mention the board.

Who it is for

This is written for these household products brands.

  • Detergent powder, bar and liquid brands
  • Dishwash gel, liquid and bar makers
  • Floor, toilet and glass cleaner brands
  • Phenyl, disinfectant and bleach makers
  • Mosquito repellent and air freshener brands
  • Scrubber, sponge, wipe, mop and broom makers
  • Garbage bag, foil, tissue and kitchen roll brands
  • Institutional and housekeeping chemical suppliers

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • The pack is not stocked in the area around the site, so the board would send shoppers to look for a bottle that is not there.
  • The brand name and the pack front are still under review, so painted walls and boards would have to be redone.
  • No one can check local approval and the landlord's terms for a shop board before it is made, so the site list is not ready to buy.

How it works

How the outdoor 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

    Draw the catchment

    We agree the roads, junctions and neighbourhoods your buyer moves through. Owners first name a wider area than their buyers travel, and a clinic in Nagarbhavi does not need the whole of west Bengaluru.

  2. 2

    Survey what is available

    We work through the sites on offer inside that catchment and go and stand in front of the ones worth looking at, at the hour your buyer passes. A site that reads well at noon can be dark and hidden by a tree at seven.

  3. 3

    Compare and book

    Sites are compared on facing, visibility, illumination, paperwork and cycle length, then booked through the media owner or their agency at a negotiated rate. The booking is written down: site address, size, lit or unlit, start date and cycle.

  4. 4

    Print to specification

    Artwork is made to the exact panel size and delivered ahead of mounting day, with a proof you approve before printing.

  5. 5

    Monitor the cycle

    We collect mounting and mid-cycle photographs, and take up anything late, torn or unlit with the media owner while the cycle is still running.

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.

Tell us what you need
Is a hoarding worth it for a brand sold in kirana shops?
Seldom on its own. A hoarding helps where it faces a road your distributor serves, near markets where retailers shop. In a district without stock it sends shoppers to a shelf with no pack on it.
What goes on the board, the brand or the product?
Both, in that order of size: the pack, the job it does and the price point. A logo alone does not tell a passer-by whether the shop sells detergent or phenyl, and it does not prompt anyone to ask for it.
Who pays the local fee on a shop board?
Settle it before the painter arrives. Some retailers expect the brand to pay and some pay themselves for a scheme in return. Write who pays on the same note as the stock agreement, and keep the receipt.
Does wall painting work in cities?
Less than in villages and small towns. Many city bodies restrict it, and walls get covered by posters. In a city, shop boards, market lane boards and branded distributor vehicles reach the same buyers with fewer permissions.
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.
