Cosmetic product retailers · Digital marketing

Put the shop, the stock and the advice in front of shoppers before they open an app.

Digital marketing for a cosmetic retailer covers the online places a shopper meets your store: Maps, Instagram, WhatsApp, search and sometimes paid ads. GullySales works on choosing the few that fit your area and stock, and on tying each to a visit or a sale.

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 cosmetic product retailers

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

  • “An app is a tap away at your counter”

    The shopper holds the same product in one hand and a cheaper price in the other. Digital work for a shop is about why to buy here: the advice, the trial and the trust, shown before the visit.

  • “Too many channels thin out a small team”

    Posting on every platform leaves each one half done. A shop with two assistants and an owner is better served by Maps, Instagram and WhatsApp done well than by six done badly.

  • “Paid ads reach the wrong people without care”

    An ad aimed at a whole city sends clicks from areas that will never visit. Spending only makes sense when the audience is close to the shop and the stock is on the shelf.

  • “Online and counter records stay apart”

    A follower, a caller and a walk-in may be the same person. Without one customer list, the shop cannot tell which online effort brought which sale.

What we do

What we deliver for cosmetic product retailers.

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

  1. A channel plan for the shop

    A short document choosing which channels to run, which to leave, and what each is meant to deliver.

    Result: You know what each channel is for.

  2. Listing, page and chat set up together

    Maps, Instagram and WhatsApp given the same name, address, hours and brand list.

    Result: A shopper sees the same shop everywhere.

  3. A festive and brand-day calendar

    Campaign dates for Diwali, wedding season and brand days, with the message and the offer written in advance.

    Result: The busy weeks have a plan before they start.

  4. A small paid test around the shop

    An ad aimed at a short distance and a single offer, run only if stock and staff are ready.

    Result: You see whether paid reach brings visits at all.

  5. One sheet that counts what came in

    Calls, directions, chats and walk-ins who mention the source, tallied in one place.

    Result: You can compare channels by what they brought.

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.

  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.

Your brief

Tell us what you need, and we will read it before we call.

Eight short steps about your business, what you want and who decides. Most questions are a tap, and you can skip any you would rather answer on the call.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Where should a small cosmetic store start?
With the Maps listing and a WhatsApp Business number, since these meet shoppers who are ready to buy nearby. Instagram and ads come after the basics hold up.
How do we know digital marketing is working?
Look at calls, direction taps, chats and walk-ins who name the source. We set up the counting first so that you compare against a starting point, not a feeling.
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.
