Plan search, social and local ads around the stores that need footfall.

Digital marketing for a retail franchise brand joins search, social, messaging and local ads into one plan for franchise sales and store traffic. GullySales sets the plan by store and by audience, so spend follows the places that need it.

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.

Sales and marketing for retail franchise brands, the overview.

For retail franchise brands

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

  • “Brand spend and store need do not match”

    A national campaign runs everywhere while a few stores sit quiet. Without a store view, the brand cannot move effort to the stores that need it.

  • “Franchise recruitment and store footfall compete for budget”

    Both need advertising, and they speak to different people. A single budget line with no split lets one starve the other without anyone choosing it.

  • “Paid ads send people to the home page”

    A shopper who clicks an ad for a sale lands on a generic page and must hunt for the nearest store. An ad that lands on the town's store page keeps the shopper moving.

  • “Results are counted by clicks, not by shops”

    Clicks look healthy while no candidate has a shop and no store has more visitors. The count that matters is calls, direction requests and visits, kept by source.

What we do

What we deliver for retail franchise brands.

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

  1. Channel plan by audience

    A plan that sets which channels serve candidates and which serve shoppers, with a reason for each.

    Result: A grid of audience, channel and purpose.

  2. Store priority list

    A ranking of stores by need, agreed with your team, to direct local ads.

    Result: A list that guides where effort goes first.

  3. Landing page per ad purpose

    Pages for franchise ads and for each store or town campaign.

    Result: Ads that point to matching pages.

  4. Tracking set-up

    Calls, direction requests, form submissions and the source of each, brought into one view.

    Result: A report that shows enquiries by source and store.

  5. Campaign calendar

    Occasions and openings placed across the year with the owner of each.

    Result: A calendar your team and franchisees can read.

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.

Tell us what you need
Where should a new brand start?
With the Google profiles and a store locator, since they serve both shoppers and candidates. Paid ads come after the base is correct.
How is the budget split between franchisees and head office?
That is set in your agreement. We can lay out the options, but the decision belongs to you and your adviser.
Do you run the ads?
We plan and set them up with your team. Platform rules change, so check the platform's current rules before spending.
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.
