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

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
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.
Stabilize
We correct listing content, fix availability gaps with your supply team, and cut the assortment that cannot work economically on this channel.
Launch
Our pod builds keyword campaigns, placements, and creative per platform, with budgets set against contribution targets rather than spend targets.
Optimize
We read performance at city and SKU level daily, reallocate toward localities that return, and pause where stock or margin cannot support spend.
Scale
We expand cities, SKUs, and placement types once contribution per order holds steady at higher volume.
Flexible Engagement Models
Quick Commerce Sprint
A defined scope such as platform onboarding and launch, a listing and content rebuild, or an availability and profitability audit on your current setup. You get the setup, the assets, and campaigns running.
Managed Quick Commerce
Your pod runs campaigns, listings, availability tracking, pricing, and reporting continuously across all three platforms, with assortment and budget read each cycle against contribution per SKU.
Quick Commerce as a Service
We operate your entire quick commerce business, from onboarding and assortment through advertising, availability, and profitability reporting, coordinating directly with your supply chain and finance teams.
