Multi-branch retail chains · Digital marketing

Plan the chain's online presence one branch at a time.

Digital marketing for a retail chain brings together listings, search, ads, social media and messaging to fill each store with the right shoppers. GullySales works on a plan that treats every branch as its own market under one brand.

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 multi-branch retail chains

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

  • “A single city-wide plan wastes spend in some streets”

    An ad aimed at the whole city reaches people who live far from any store and misses the ones next door to one. Targeting should follow each branch's catchment, drawn from where its customers actually live.

  • “Online channels are measured separately from the till”

    Clicks and likes are counted on one screen and billing on another. Nobody joins them, so nobody knows which channel filled which store. Notes from the counter, such as how the shopper heard of you, close the gap.

  • “New stores need a different plan from old ones”

    An established branch lives on repeat customers and its listing. A new store needs awareness in the first weeks: a listing, local ads and a message to nearby customers, all planned before opening day.

  • “Festive and wedding seasons decide the year, so the plan starts early”

    Diwali, Akshaya Tritiya, Eid and wedding months bring the largest crowds. Stock, offers and listings should be set before the season starts, because the competitors are doing the same.

What we do

What we deliver for multi-branch retail chains.

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

  1. A branch-by-branch channel plan

    For each store, which channels to use: listing, search ads, social posts, messages, with the reason for each.

    Result: Every branch has its own written plan.

  2. Catchment-based targeting

    Ad areas set from where each store's customers come from, using your billing and delivery records.

    Result: Ads reach the streets around a store, not the whole city.

  3. A season calendar

    Festival and wedding dates mapped to stock, offers, listing updates and messages for each branch.

    Result: Preparation dates are set before the season, not during it.

  4. A store opening kit

    A checklist for a new branch: listing, photographs, local ads, a message to nearby customers and an opening offer.

    Result: A new store has a ready sequence to follow.

  5. A shared view of results

    Calls, enquiries, walk-ins noted and billing by branch, set beside the spend for each store.

    Result: The owner sees spend and results for each branch together.

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.

What should a chain do first in digital marketing?
Get the listings and phone answering right in every branch. Advertising sent to a wrong number or a closed shutter is spend lost. Once the basics hold, add search ads and messaging where the numbers justify it.
Can we run the same campaign across all branches?
Parts of it, yes. The brand, creative and price band can be shared. The area, the branch name and the local offer should change for each store, so the shopper sees the shop near them.
How do we judge which branch needs more spend?
Compare calls, enquiries and billing by branch, and look at the listing and phone handling before adding budget. A weak result may come from a fault in the basics, not a lack of spend.
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.
