Bhuj, Gujarat
Most Bhuj craft and travel businesses earn their year in the few months of the Rann Utsav.
Bhuj is the gateway to the White Rann and the craft villages of Kutch. Weavers at Bhujodi, Ajrakh printers at Ajrakhpur and rogan painters at Nirona sell to visitors, designers and exhibitions. The camps on the road to Dhordo fill for the Rann Utsav each winter.
A 45-minute audit call, a written and scored report within a few working days, then a monthly report against your baseline.
At a glance
Bhuj sells two things to outsiders: a winter trip to the White Rann, and the weaving, Ajrakh prints and embroidery of the villages around it. GullySales helps Bhuj hotels, camps and craft workshops get booked in season and keep selling to past buyers the rest of the year.
The town was rebuilt after the 2001 earthquake, and the tax incentives that followed brought pipe, cement, textile and engineering plants to Anjar, Bhachau and Mundra. Many of the contractors and suppliers those plants use are based in Bhuj.

How buyers decide
How buyers in Bhuj find and choose a business
Visitors to Bhuj plan the trip online, often months ahead, around the Rann Utsav dates and the full-moon nights on the White Rann. They book a tent or hotel from search results and travel sites, then ask on WhatsApp about permits, transport to Dhordo and which craft villages to see.
Craft buyers come in two kinds. Tourists buy at the workshop, and some ask later to order again from home. Designers, boutiques and exporters from Mumbai, Delhi and abroad order in bulk after an exhibition. They expect samples, lead times and consistent colour.
Industrial buyers in the belt around Anjar and Bhachau are plant purchase and maintenance teams, who pick local contractors on availability and on past work at a neighbouring plant.
The problem
Where Bhuj businesses lose orders.
What we see most often in Bhuj, in the words owners use on the first call.
“The whole year's bookings come in four months”
Bhuj hotels and Dhordo camps earn most of their year between November and February. A slow reply during those weeks costs more than any quiet month can make back.
“Visitors love our work and never order again”
Craft visitors to Bhujodi and Nirona leave with one piece and a phone number. Without a list of those buyers and a message when new work is ready, the second order never happens.
“Bulk buyers want lead times we have never written down”
Designers and exporters ordering Ajrakh or Kutch weaving need colour consistency and delivery dates in writing. Workshops that can show a clear process and a sample timeline win the larger orders.
“The booking sites take our margin”
Many Bhuj and Dhordo stays sell almost entirely through online travel agencies. A direct booking page and quick WhatsApp replies win back some of those guests, especially the ones who return.
What we do
What we would do for Bhuj businesses.
Usually in this order, starting with whatever the audit ranks first.
Lead response and follow-up
Every enquiry answered the same working day and followed up until it is won or closed, so Bhuj buyers stop going to whoever replied first.
Local SEO
A Google Business Profile, reviews and location pages set up so the right Bhuj buyers find you on Maps and call.
CRM implementation and customisation
One record of every enquiry and customer, set up so your team opens it daily and the pipeline is visible.
WhatsApp marketing and automation
Quote follow-ups, reminders and repeat-order messages on the channel Bhuj customers already use.
Search engine optimisation
Pages built for what buyers actually search, so enquiries arrive from search without paying for every click.
Google Ads
Campaigns judged on cost per enquiry and cost per order, with wasted searches cut every month.

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 monthly report compares against something honest.
The fee in writing, split three ways
