Supermarkets · Digital marketing
Digital marketing for a supermarket starts at the phone of a family near the door.
Digital marketing for a supermarket is the combined use of the store listing, search, social media, WhatsApp and paid ads to bring nearby households to the shop or the delivery sheet. GullySales works on which of these the store should run first, and in what order.
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 supermarkets
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The store is local, so the channel list is short”
A supermarket serves a few kilometres. Channels that reach the whole city or country waste effort, so the listing, WhatsApp and a tightly drawn local ad come first.
“Spend before the basics is spend wasted”
A paid ad that sends a buyer to a listing showing wrong timings, or to a chat nobody answers, loses the sale. Fix the listing, the number and the delivery rule before paying for reach.
“Offers should lead to a recorded visit”
Without a way to tell which visits came from which message, every channel claims credit. A counter question and a tagged register line let the store see what brought the family.
“The apps set the buyer's expectation”
A household used to instant delivery judges the store's slot and reply speed against it. The store answers with a promise it keeps and a fresh section the apps lack.
What we do
What we deliver for supermarkets.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A channel plan for the store's radius
A short plan naming the first channels, what each does and who at the store owns it.
Result: Each channel has an owner and a purpose.
Listing, site and chat set up as one
The Business Profile, the site and the WhatsApp number checked so that name, timings, delivery rule and greeting match.
Result: A buyer sees the same store on every screen.
A tightly drawn local ad
An ad aimed at the streets and towers the store serves, with one offer and a clear route to the chat or the map.
Result: Ad taps come from the area the store can reach.
A counter question for source
A single question at billing that records how the family heard of the store.
Result: Every new family carries a source.
A baseline before spending
Repeat families, average bill and delivery orders written down from existing bills before any campaign starts.
Result: You can compare later results with a starting figure.
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
From your first message to the first report.
No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
