Your catalogue starts selling, on your own store and on every marketplace.
Gully Sales works on the surfaces where a buying decision is actually made: how each product is listed, how it is found, how it is presented, and how many filled carts survive the last three screens.
One view of what sells, by product, by channel and by margin after fees.
Listings written to be found and to be chosen, not simply uploaded once.
Fewer abandoned carts, and a reason for the second order to happen.
Gully Sales Private Limited works with businesses across India that sell on their own store, on marketplaces and through quick-commerce apps.
In one paragraph
What is E-commerce and Marketplace Marketing in India?
E-commerce and marketplace marketing is the work of making products sell on the surfaces where people actually buy them: your own store, Amazon, Flipkart, quick-commerce apps and ONDC. Gully Sales structures the catalogue, improves how products are found and presented, repairs checkout and payments, plans offers, and reports what each channel returns after fees.
The problem
You are listed in several places and cannot say which listing earns its keep.
Orders arrive. They arrive from your own website, from two or three marketplaces, sometimes from a quick-commerce app, and each one has its own dashboard, its own commission and its own idea of what your product is called. Revenue looks reasonable in the total. Nobody in the room can say which product actually made money after commission, shipping, packing and returns, or which listing is being seen and ignored. So the answer to every slow month is another discount.
You will recognise it as
The same product carries different names, photographs and prices depending on which channel you open.
Marketplace dashboards show plenty of views and very few of those views turn into orders.
Nobody can state the money left on a product after commission, shipping, packing and returns.
Carts are filled and abandoned, and the only response tried so far is a larger coupon.
Marketplace advertising runs every month because a category manager asked for it, not because it was planned.
Variants sit out of stock on one channel for weeks while the same item sells well on another.
What it costs the business
Discounting becomes the only lever anyone reaches for, so order volume grows and the money you keep does not.
The marketplace ends up owning your pricing, your positioning and your customer, because no reason to buy direct was ever built.
Stock is bought against last month's total rather than against what each channel sells, so cash sits inside the wrong items.
Ratings, return rates and dispatch delays quietly decide your visibility, and by the time it is noticed the listing has slipped too far to recover cheaply.
Why it persists. E-commerce falls between departments. Marketing owns the advertising, operations owns dispatch, finance sees only the settlement, and nobody owns the listing itself. Catalogue work is unglamorous and never urgent, so it is done once at onboarding and left. Every platform then changes its rules, its fee structure and its search behaviour on its own schedule, and there is no routine in the business for noticing. The person who could fix it is usually also packing orders.
If it stays unresolved. Margin thins one percentage point at a time. The business slowly becomes a supplier to a platform rather than a brand with customers: you know your order count but not your buyers, and a fee revision or an algorithm change made in another city decides your quarter. Rebuilding a direct channel later costs far more than protecting one now.
What changes
You can see what each channel earns you, product by product.
In the first weeks
One master catalogue: one title standard, one description set, one photo standard, mapped to every channel.
A true contribution per product, calculated after commission, shipping, packing, returns and marketing.
A listing quality check on your top-selling items, naming exactly what is missing on each platform.
In how the work runs
Price, stock and content changed once in one place and pushed out to every channel that sells it.
A weekly routine covering search position, listing health, stock, returns and ratings, with a written log.
In sales and marketing
Spend allocated by contribution after fees, not by the revenue number each channel happens to report.
A direct channel worth buying from, so repeat orders stop paying full marketplace commission.
In what management can see
A monthly report showing sessions, conversion rate, orders and contribution by channel and by product.
Over the longer term
A catalogue, a customer list and channel data you own, which travel with you to the next platform.
Gully Sales controls the catalogue, the listings, the merchandising plan, the campaigns and the reporting. Orders also depend on your pricing, your stock, your dispatch reliability and each platform's own rules. We commit to the work and to honest reporting, never to a sales figure.
Who it is for
This suits you once orders arrive from more than one surface.
The businesses it suits
Brands and manufacturers already selling on Amazon, Flipkart or similar platforms without a plan behind it.
D2C businesses whose own store takes orders but earns far less per visitor than it should.
Distributors and retailers moving a large catalogue online for the first time.
Food, FMCG and personal-care businesses entering quick-commerce and needing listings that hold up.
Sellers live on more than one platform who cannot compare those channels honestly today.
Businesses whose commission and return costs have quietly overtaken their marketing spend.
What usually prompts the call
You are about to list on a new marketplace and want the catalogue right before it multiplies.
Marketplace revenue is growing and the money left at the end of the month is not.
A price war has started in your category and discounting is the only answer anyone has.
Your website was rebuilt, traffic recovered, and orders did not follow it.
Returns and slipping ratings have started to affect where your listings appear.
What Gully Sales does
The work, component by component.
Catalogue structure and channel mapping
We build one master catalogue: a naming convention, a variant and SKU structure, attribute sets, a photograph standard and a description framework. That master is then mapped to each channel's own category tree and required fields, so the same product reads consistently on your store, on a marketplace and in a quick-commerce app.
Why it matters:
Every discovery, pricing and reporting problem downstream begins with a catalogue that says different things in different places.
You receive:
A master catalogue sheet with attributes, variants and a field-by-field mapping to each channel.
Business value:
You can add a product or a platform without repeating the entire exercise, and your data stops disagreeing with itself.
Product discovery and listing content
We work on how buyers find you inside a platform and on the open web: keyword and category research per marketplace, titles and bullet points written for the way each platform ranks and each buyer reads, backend attributes filled properly, and A+ or enhanced content where the platform allows it.
Why it matters:
Marketplace search is its own discipline. A listing that is never surfaced cannot be judged on its price or its photographs.
You receive:
Rewritten titles, bullets, descriptions and backend attributes for your priority products, per channel.
Business value:
Your products appear for the searches buyers actually type, and the listing then gives them a reason to choose you.
Merchandising, pricing and offers
We plan what is shown, to whom and when: category and collection order, cross-sell and bundle logic, bestselling and slow-moving stock treated differently, and a promotion calendar built around real demand periods rather than around whichever sale the platform announces next.
Why it matters:
Most stores show every product with equal weight, which leaves the buyer to do the sorting and the margin to look after itself.
You receive:
A merchandising and promotion plan with bundles, price bands and a calendar of planned offers by channel.
Business value:
Attention goes to the products worth selling, and discounting becomes a decision rather than a reflex.
Checkout, payments and cart recovery
We walk the last few screens as a buyer would, on a mid-range phone: form length, guest checkout, delivery estimates, COD handling, UPI and card options, failed payment retries, and what happens when a cart is abandoned. Fixes are prioritised by how many orders each one is losing.
Why it matters:
The costliest drop-off happens after the buyer has decided, and it is almost always caused by something small and fixable.
You receive:
A checkout and payment walkthrough with a prioritised fix list, plus cart and payment recovery messages.
Business value:
You recover orders you have already paid to earn, without spending anything more on acquiring traffic.
Channel operations and listing health
We set the weekly routine that keeps channels healthy: stock and price synchronisation, listing suppressions and errors, buy-box or search position, return reasons, ratings and review responses, dispatch performance, and reconciliation of platform settlements against your own records.
Why it matters:
Platform visibility is earned operationally. Late dispatch, high returns and unanswered reviews cost more reach than any advertisement buys back.
You receive:
A channel operations routine with a weekly checklist, an owner per task and a written change log.
Business value:
Problems surface in the week they occur, rather than in a quarterly review of a number nobody trusts.
Traffic and campaign plan
We plan the demand that feeds the catalogue: sponsored product and display campaigns inside each marketplace, paid and organic traffic to your own store, launch pushes for new listings, and retention messages to previous buyers. Budget is set per channel against contribution after fees.
Why it matters:
Traffic sent to a weak listing is money spent teaching the platform that your product does not convert.
You receive:
A campaign and budget plan by channel, with objectives, target products and a reporting cadence.
Business value:
Spend goes where a rupee returns most, and new listings launch with enough traffic to establish a ranking.
Analytics and optimisation
We set up measurement that works across channels: order and session tracking on your store, exports from each marketplace, and a single monthly view of sessions, conversion rate, average order value, return rate and contribution. Each month closes with a short list of what to change next.
Why it matters:
Each platform reports in its own language and flatters itself. Comparison is impossible until the numbers sit in one honest sheet.
You receive:
A cross-channel performance dashboard and a monthly report with a ranked list of next actions.
Business value:
Decisions about stock, pricing and spend are made from one set of numbers everyone in the business accepts.
What you will have at the end.
A master catalogue with naming, variant, attribute and photography standards, mapped to every channel.
Keyword and category research for each marketplace you sell on, by priority product.
Rewritten titles, bullets, descriptions and backend attributes for your priority listings.
A product-level contribution sheet showing margin after commission, shipping, packing and returns.
A merchandising and promotion calendar with bundles, price bands and planned offers by channel.
A checkout and payment walkthrough on mobile, with a fix list ordered by orders lost.
Cart abandonment and failed-payment recovery messages, written and connected to your tools.
A weekly channel operations checklist covering stock, listings, returns, ratings and dispatch.
A campaign and budget plan for marketplace advertising and own-store traffic, by channel.
A cross-channel dashboard and a monthly report on sessions, conversion, orders and contribution.
A review response routine, with templates for the return and rating reasons you see most.
Documentation of every standard and routine, held in your own accounts and handed over to you.
How it runs
The engagement, step by step.
1
Channel and margin baseline
We start with what each channel actually returns today. Orders, sessions, conversion rate, average order value, return rate and settlement data are pulled together, and commission, shipping, packing and return costs are subtracted to give a contribution figure per product and per channel.
You provide:
Access to your store analytics and seller accounts, plus cost, shipping and settlement data for the last few months.
We produce:
A baseline sheet showing what each channel and each priority product earns after fees.
Done when:
You and we agree the numbers this work will be judged against.
2
Catalogue and listing audit
We audit the catalogue against every channel it appears on: naming, variants, attributes, photographs, suppressions and errors, plus how your priority products currently rank for the searches that matter inside each platform.
You provide:
Product data in whatever form it exists, brand assets, photographs and access to each seller panel.
We produce:
A written audit with a fix list ordered by revenue at risk, and the master catalogue structure.
Done when:
Every priority product has a named gap list on each channel it sells on.
3
Catalogue rebuild and discovery work
The master catalogue is built and populated. Titles, bullets, descriptions and backend attributes are rewritten per channel, photographs are brought to one standard, and enhanced content is added where the platform supports it.
You provide:
Approval on naming, claims and pricing, and any new photography or specification detail we ask for.
We produce:
Rebuilt listings across your priority products, and the mapping that keeps them consistent.
Done when:
Priority listings are live, complete and consistent across every channel.
4
Merchandising, checkout and payments
On your own store we set collection order, cross-sell and bundle logic, then walk checkout and payments on a mid-range phone and fix what loses orders. Cart and failed-payment recovery messages are written and connected.
You provide:
Developer or platform access for your store, and decisions on bundles, delivery promises and payment options.
We produce:
A merchandising plan, a prioritised checkout fix list, and live recovery messages.
Done when:
A test order completes cleanly on a phone, and an abandoned cart triggers its message.
5
Operations routine and launch
The weekly channel routine is set up with an owner per task, campaigns are built inside marketplace ad panels and on your own store, and new or rebuilt listings are given the traffic they need to establish a position.
You provide:
A named person for daily channel operations, and confirmation of stock and dispatch capacity.
We produce:
A running operations checklist, live campaigns, and a change log recording what was altered.
Done when:
The routine has run for a full week without anything falling to whoever noticed it last.
6
Review, report and expand
Each month we compare against the baseline, look at conversion, returns, ratings and contribution by channel, and decide what changes next: which products to push, which to delist, where to move budget, and whether a further channel is worth entering.
You provide:
Settlement and return data for the month, and stock plans for the period ahead.
We produce:
A monthly report with a ranked list of next actions and a revised budget by channel.
Done when:
Next month's stock, pricing and spend decisions are made from the report.
Ways to work with us
Start with an audit, or run the channels with us.
E-commerce and marketplace audit
A review of your store, your seller accounts and your true margin by channel, written up as a baseline, a catalogue structure and a prioritised fix list your own team can act on.
Catalogue and listing rebuild
A defined project: master catalogue, rewritten listings across your priority products, merchandising, and the checkout and payment fixes, handed back with the standards documented.
Ongoing channel management
We run the channels week to week: listing health, stock and price synchronisation, promotions, marketplace and own-store campaigns, review responses, and a monthly contribution report.
Why Gully Sales
What you are actually choosing when you choose us.
We start from contribution, not from revenue.
Before anything is rewritten we work out what each product earns after commission, shipping, packing and returns. That number decides which listings deserve effort, which need repricing, and which are better delisted.
The listing and the advertising are treated as one job.
Sponsored campaigns on a weak listing raise costs and teach the platform your product does not convert. We fix what the click lands on before we ask you to spend more on getting the click.
Marketplaces and your own store are compared honestly.
Each platform reports in a way that flatters itself. We bring the channels into one sheet with the same definitions, so you can see where growth is actually worth buying.
We will tell you when a channel is not worth entering.
Some categories cannot carry the commission, and some products cannot survive a return rate. Gully Sales works across marketing, sales and channels, so we have no reason to talk you onto a platform that will cost you money.
Everything is built in your own accounts.
The catalogue, the seller panels, the customer list and the reporting stay with you, with the routines written down. If you change agency later, you keep what you have paid for.
Where it applies
The same service, in different businesses.
Industry
The situation
How it applies
Likely benefit
Packaged food and FMCG
A snack brand sells well through distributors and has just been accepted onto quick-commerce apps, where listings were uploaded quickly to meet a launch date.
Pack sizes are restructured for the channel, titles and attributes are rewritten for in-app search, and offers are planned around demand periods rather than platform sales.
The brand appears for the categories shoppers browse, and pack economics are decided before volume makes a thin margin expensive.
Apparel and lifestyle D2C
A clothing label runs its own store alongside two large marketplaces, and the same styles carry different names, photographs and prices on each.
One master catalogue with a size and colour variant structure, a photography standard, channel-specific listing content, and bundles that lift order value on the direct store.
Returns fall as descriptions match what arrives, and the direct store gives repeat buyers a reason not to pay marketplace commission.
Home, hardware and building products
A manufacturer sells through dealers and has begun listing online, where marketplace pricing has started to unsettle the dealer network.
A channel pricing and assortment plan separating online SKUs from dealer lines, listings built on specification detail, and reporting shared with the channel team.
Online demand is captured without undercutting the dealers who carry stock, because each channel sells a defined range.
Beauty and personal care
A skincare brand spends steadily on advertising, sees traffic arrive on both its store and its marketplace listings, and converts poorly on either.
Listing content rebuilt around ingredients, usage and proof, checkout shortened on mobile, cart recovery connected, and reviews answered on a routine.
More of the traffic already being paid for turns into orders, and ratings recover enough to hold the listing's visibility.
Industrial and MRO supply
A components business lists thousands of SKUs on business marketplaces, where buyers search by specification and most listings carry only a name and a price.
Attribute-led catalogue structure, specification and compatibility detail in every listing, bulk pricing tiers, and enquiry routing for items that need a quotation.
Buyers can find the exact part without calling, and enquiries that do arrive reach a named person with the product already identified.

Proof
Work we can point to.
Kalessi, bathroom tiles e-commerce
The problem:
The business needed an online store that shoppers could use easily and that could be found by people searching for its products.
What we did:
Gully Sales designed a user-friendly, responsive e-commerce website and worked on content marketing and SEO strategies, using the right keywords.
The result:
The case study describes an e-commerce store built for a better shopping experience, with improved website ranking. No figures are published.
How will the store convert better without making our operations more complicated?
Most conversion gains come from removing things, not adding them. A shorter checkout, one honest delivery estimate, working payment retries and listings that match what actually arrives all reduce work rather than create it. Where we do add a routine, it is a weekly checklist with a named owner, not a new system to learn. Anything that would need more people than you have, we tell you before it is built.
Should we sell on marketplaces, on our own store, or on both?
Usually both, but for different reasons. Marketplaces give you demand that already exists, at a commission and with little control over the customer. Your own store gives you margin, data and repeat buyers, but you have to pay for the traffic. We work out the contribution each channel returns for your products, then recommend a split. For some categories the honest answer is that a marketplace cannot carry your cost structure at all.
How long does the engagement take?
It depends on how many products and channels are involved and how much of the catalogue has to be rebuilt. The baseline and audit come first, and only then can the rebuild be sized honestly. We will not name a fixed number of weeks before seeing the catalogue. What we do agree in advance is the sequence, the priority products and the point at which results will be compared against the baseline.
What do you need from us to run this?
Access to your website, analytics and every seller panel. Product data in whatever form it exists, along with photographs, specifications and brand assets. Cost, shipping and settlement figures, so margin can be calculated honestly. Someone who can approve naming, pricing and claims without a long committee. And a named person for daily channel operations, because listings go stale quickly when nobody owns them.
How is success measured?
Against the baseline recorded before anything changes. Weekly we watch listing health, search position, stock, returns and ratings. Monthly we report impressions, product page views, conversion rate, orders, average order value, return rate and contribution by channel and by product. When a number moves, the report states which change we made that month, so cause and effect stay visible rather than assumed.
What is excluded from the scope?
Advertising spend inside marketplaces and on other platforms, which you pay directly. Warehousing, packing, dispatch and courier contracts. Building a new website from scratch, which is a separate service. Photography and video production are quoted separately where new assets are needed. We also do not set your prices for you: we show the margin position and the options, and the pricing decision stays yours.
Do you also run Amazon and Flipkart advertising?
Yes, as part of this work, because marketplace advertising and listing quality cannot be separated sensibly. Sponsored placements are built inside your own seller accounts, targeted at products whose listings can carry the traffic, and budgeted against contribution after commission. If a listing is not ready, we say so and fix it before spending, rather than paying to send buyers to a page that will lose them.
Our return rate is high. Can that be improved?
Often, though not always by the same fix. Returns usually trace back to a listing that oversold, sizing or specification detail that was missing, photographs that flattered the product, or packaging that did not survive transit. We group return reasons by product, correct the listings responsible, and watch whether the rate moves. Where the cause is operational or the product itself, we say so plainly.
4 more questions
Can this work if our catalogue runs to thousands of SKUs?
Yes, but not all at once. We build the catalogue structure and the standards first, then apply them to the products that carry your revenue and margin, which is usually a small share of the total. The remainder is handled in batches, or by your own team using the same documented standard. Trying to rewrite everything simultaneously delays the work that would have paid for itself.
Do we need a new website before this work can start?
Usually not. Most stores lose orders to checkout friction, weak product pages and unclear delivery information rather than to the platform they were built on. We walk the existing store first and fix what is losing orders. If the platform genuinely cannot support what your business needs, we will say so and treat the rebuild as a separate decision with its own case.
How do you handle price differences between channels?
With a written channel pricing and assortment plan. Commission, shipping and return costs differ by platform, so an identical price earns you very different amounts. Where a dealer or distributor network exists, we separate the range sold online from the range sold through the channel, so demand can be captured without undercutting the people carrying your stock.
What happens to ratings and reviews we already have?
They stay, and they matter more than most sellers assume, because ratings and return rates influence where a platform places you. We set a routine for responding to reviews, group the criticisms by cause, and feed them back into listing content, packaging or dispatch. Old reviews cannot be removed, but the pattern behind them can usually be stopped from repeating.
