Quick Commerce Advertising Services

Quick Commerce Advertising Services

Nobody browses Blinkit. They open the app knowing what they want, with payment details saved and a basket to fill in under ten minutes. That compresses the entire funnel into one session, which is why quick commerce converts unlike any other channel, and why so many brands still lose money on it. The reasons are rarely creative. Ad credits burn against SKUs that are out of stock in half the dark stores. Spend runs in cities where the product was never stocked. Listing fees get paid upfront and the assortment sitting behind them was never right for ten-minute delivery in the first place.

IMARC Amplify treats quick commerce as an operation where availability and advertising are the same problem. We cover platform onboarding and setup, sponsored search, banner and category placements, listing content, dark store availability and fill rate, assortment and pricing, city and SKU-level budget allocation, and profitability reporting. Spend follows stock, because an ad for a product that cannot be delivered is a donation.

What Runs Inside the Ten-Minute Window

Platform Onboarding and Ad Account Setup

Get listed and configured properly across Blinkit, Zepto, and Instamart. We manage seller registration, documentation, city and category selection, and ad account setup, including how listing fees convert into ad wallet credits and when those credits expire. Decisions made at onboarding constrain everything you can do afterwards.

Sponsored Search and Keyword Campaigns

Capture buyers at the exact keyword they typed with a basket already open. We build keyword sets per platform and city, manage bids against contribution per order rather than volume, and maintain negative terms that stop spend leaking into unrelated searches. This format converts hardest because it sits closest to intent.

Banner and Category Placements

Buy visibility where discovery actually happens inside the app. We plan homepage, category, and section placements around demand peaks, seasonal moments, and new launches, then measure them against basket lift rather than impressions. Placement value varies sharply by platform and city, so buying decisions are made per surface.

Listing Content and Catalog Optimization

Make your product page work in a scroll that lasts seconds. We write titles and descriptions for each platform's format, structure pack sizes and variants correctly, and design imagery that reads at thumbnail size on a phone. Quick commerce shoppers decide from the grid view, often without opening the product page.

Dark Store Availability and Fill Rate Management

Fix the problem that quietly wastes most quick commerce budgets. Stock sitting in a mother warehouse is invisible to a shopper, since your listing only appears when inventory is physically present in that specific dark store. We track fill rate by city and SKU, flag stockouts, and coordinate replenishment before ranking decays.

Assortment, Pricing, and Basket Strategy

Decide which products belong on this channel at all. We assess repeat purchase behaviour, pack size economics, and margin after platform commissions and delivery, then build pricing and combo strategies that protect contribution per order. Not every SKU earns a place in a ten-minute basket, and pretending otherwise is expensive.

City and SKU-Level Budget Allocation

Put budget where the stock and the demand overlap. We allocate spend by city and SKU against daily fill rate, pause campaigns where availability drops, and shift budget toward the localities returning contribution. Quick commerce performance varies enormously between neighbourhoods, so national-level budgets hide the truth.

Attribution, Incrementality, and Profitability Reporting

Report what the channel earned after everything it cost. We consolidate reporting across all three platforms covering ad spend, commissions, listing fees, storage charges, and returns, then show contribution per SKU per city. Same-session attribution makes quick commerce unusually measurable, so we hold it to that standard.

Why IMARC Amplify for Quick Commerce Advertising Services

We run availability and advertising as one function, because on these platforms the best campaign in the world cannot sell a product that is not in the dark store.

What We Provide

  • A dedicated quick commerce pod: a retail media manager, catalog and content specialist, and a supply chain analyst, working on your account together
  • Platform-native execution across Blinkit, Zepto, and Instamart, with separate keyword logic, creative specifications, and bidding approach for each
  • Daily fill rate and availability tracking by city and SKU, with spend paused automatically where stock cannot support it
  • Creative and listing content produced in-house to each platform's specifications, built to read at thumbnail size on a phone
  • Profitability reporting after commissions, listing fees, storage, and returns, down to contribution per SKU per city
  • Full account ownership stays with you, including seller accounts, catalog data, and campaign history

Our Approach

Stock before spend

Availability is validated before budget scales, because advertising an unavailable SKU pays for a search result nobody can buy from.

Eight service lines, one pod

Onboarding, sponsored search, placements, content, availability, assortment, budget allocation, and reporting run together, not in silos.

City by city, SKU by SKU

Performance is judged at the level it actually varies, since a national average conceals both the winners and the losses.

Our Quick Commerce Advertising Process

Step 01

Audit

We review listings, fill rate by city and SKU, ad performance, commission structure, and true contribution per order across every platform you are on.

Step 02

Stabilize

We correct listing content, fix availability gaps with your supply team, and cut the assortment that cannot work economically on this channel.

Step 03

Launch

Our pod builds keyword campaigns, placements, and creative per platform, with budgets set against contribution targets rather than spend targets.

Step 04

Optimize

We read performance at city and SKU level daily, reallocate toward localities that return, and pause where stock or margin cannot support spend.

Step 05

Scale

We expand cities, SKUs, and placement types once contribution per order holds steady at higher volume.

Proof in the Numbers

Every engagement we take on is measured against outcomes that matter. Here is what that has looked like for the brands we work with.

Frequently Asked Questions

The session is compressed into minutes rather than days, so attribution is same-session and unusually clean. Availability also matters far more, because your listing only appears when stock sits in that specific locality's dark store. Ranking and stock are effectively the same lever.
We run Blinkit, Zepto, and Instamart, covering sponsored search and keyword campaigns, banner and category placements, and homepage and section placements inside each app. Format mix is decided per platform and city based on where contribution comes from.
Availability, always. Fill rate gaps and stockouts waste budget faster than any bidding mistake, and they decay ranking that takes weeks to rebuild. Listing content and assortment economics come next. Advertising scales only once the products can reliably be delivered where you are advertising them.
It opens with an audit of listings, fill rate, ad performance, and commissions per order, then a stabilization phase before spend scales. Scope depends on SKU count, number of cities, platforms involved, and how much content production is needed. We confirm during scoping.
Investment depends on media budget, the number of SKUs and cities in scope, how many of the three platforms are included, listing and content production volume, and whether availability coordination is part of the engagement. We confirm after the audit rather than quoting blind.
Our designers produce listing imagery, banner creative, and platform-specific assets built to each platform's technical specifications. If you have in-house creative, we supply specifications and direction instead. Quick commerce imagery must read at thumbnail size on a phone, which is a different brief from website creative.
We show contribution per order after ad spend, commissions, listing fees, storage, and returns, broken down by SKU and city alongside fill rate and ranking. Same-session attribution on these platforms is unusually precise, so reporting goes well beyond platform-level return on spend.
No, and we will say so during the audit. The channel rewards repeat-purchase products with sensible pack sizes and enough gross margin to absorb commissions, ad spend, and delivery. Considered or high-consideration purchases usually perform poorly, regardless of how well the campaigns are run.
We track fill rate daily by city and SKU, flag stockouts before they damage ranking, and coordinate replenishment planning with your supply team. Spend is paused where availability cannot support it. Physical inventory and warehousing stay with your existing operations and fulfilment partners.
Yes. Under the partner model, your pod owns onboarding, assortment, listings, availability, advertising, pricing, and profitability reporting across all three platforms, coordinating with your supply chain and finance teams. Seller accounts, catalog data, and campaign history remain in your name throughout.
