Hypermarkets · Digital marketing

Put the budget where a drive-time family looks, and count who arrives.

Digital marketing for a hypermarket is the combined use of search, maps, social media, WhatsApp and paid ads to bring households from the catchment into the store. GullySales works on how the pieces share one calendar and one way of counting.

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 hypermarkets

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

  • “Each channel is run by a different person”

    The agency does Facebook ads, the manager updates Maps and a cashier sends WhatsApp. Three people say three different things about the same sale. The household sees a store that does not agree with itself.

  • “Reach is wasted outside the drive”

    An advert shown to the whole city pays for people who will never drive that far. Setting it to the localities the store serves keeps the budget with the households that can come.

  • “Paid ads need a place to land”

    An advert for a festival sale that leads to the home page fails. It should lead to the sale page or to a WhatsApp chat, so that the click becomes a visit.

  • “Online orders can hurt the big basket”

    A ten-item order delivered by an app costs commission and brings nothing of the large-basket strength. Digital work should sell the trip, not the small order.

What we do

What we deliver for hypermarkets.

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

  1. A single digital plan from the sale calendar

    One sheet showing for each sale which channel does what, who is responsible and what is counted.

    Result: The plan fits on one page and lists every channel.

  2. Paid ads set to catchment localities

    Search and social campaigns aimed at the localities in the drive-time map, with different offers for each.

    Result: Reports show spend and visits by locality.

  3. Landing pages and chats for each sale

    A sale page or a WhatsApp link that each advert leads to, with the offer repeated.

    Result: Every advert leads to a page that repeats the offer.

  4. A counting method that ties to billing

    Codes, keywords and billing-counter questions agreed in advance, and a sheet that collects the answers.

    Result: The sheet shows visits by source.

  5. A review of what to stop

    After each sale the plan is read for channels that brought no visits, and money is moved.

    Result: The review lists at least one thing stopped.

  6. An online-order test for a small range

    A trial of a limited range through an app or the website, judged against margin after commission and delivery.

    Result: The trial ends with a figure for margin, not just orders.

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.

Who it is for

This is written for these hypermarkets.

  • Single-site hypermarkets on a highway or ring road
  • Hypermarkets inside shopping malls
  • Regional chains of hypermarkets across a few cities
  • Hypermarkets with an attached electronics and appliances floor
  • Hypermarkets with a strong apparel and home section
  • Cash-and-carry style large formats that sell to both households and traders
  • Hypermarkets in tier-two towns that draw from several villages
  • Franchise hypermarkets that follow a national brand's offer calendar

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.

Should a hypermarket advertise online at all?
Yes, for the households in its catchment. Online media can reach them while they plan the trip. Keep spend tied to the localities.
Which channel should we start with?
Start with Maps and WhatsApp, because they cost little and reach families already near. Add paid ads once the landing pages exist.
How do we tell digital from the newspaper insert?
Give each its own code and read the billing-counter answers. The numbers will show which brought the visit.
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.
