The partnership
What the brand needed from us
CDS Stores sells premium sweets, dry fruits, hampers and corporate gifting from stores in Vapi and Valsad. Its year is a series of festive peaks — Ganpati, Raksha Bandhan, Diwali, weddings — and each one is won or lost in the same two cities, on the street, on Instagram and inside the store.
The retailer needed one partner who could keep demand steady between festivals and then turn each season into a city-wide campaign: Meta ads, outdoor and print across both cities, in-store branding and screen content that sells at the counter, and a website that takes hamper and gifting orders. gaa-tha handles all of it on a retainer.
What we handle
Every channel, under one retainer
Meta ad campaigns, all year
Always-on and festive campaigns on Facebook and Instagram targeted to Vapi and Valsad, with click-to-WhatsApp for bulk and corporate gifting enquiries and creative refreshed for every occasion.
City-wide banners and print media
Outdoor and print across both cities — store-front banners, auto-rickshaw and bus panels, hoardings and leaflets — designed as premium, minimal category systems with a colour code per category so they read from across the road.
In-store marketing and branding
Everything the shopper sees inside the stores: content for the in-store TV screens, media banners, category signage and counter displays, so the message from the street carries through to the shelf and the billing counter.
Festive campaigns and cinema ads
360° festive campaigns planned as one idea, one budget and one calendar — for example a Diwali campaign split across outdoor, 15–20 influencer collab reels, Meta ads and a 10-second trailer-style AI cinema ad, with an earlier Ganpati AI film setting the visual language.
Website — built and managed
We built and handle the cdsstores.in Shopify store so hamper, gifting and festive orders have a clean online path, with seasonal collections and banners set up for every campaign.
Social media and influencers
Instagram content and influencer collaborations that keep CDS Stores visible between festivals and amplify each campaign when it lands.

Impact & results
What changed
CDS Stores now runs every touchpoint — Meta, the street, print, in-store screens, cinema, influencers and the website — through one team, so each festive season is planned as one campaign rather than four. Footfall, sales uplift, corporate orders and reach are published here per campaign once the numbers are confirmed.

Questions about our work with CDS Stores
gaa-tha handles CDS Stores' marketing on a retainer — Meta ads, city-wide banners and print media, in-store branding and screen content, festive campaigns with influencers and cinema ads, and the cdsstores.in website.
We create the content for the in-store TV screens, media banners, category signage and counter displays, matched to whatever campaign is running outside the store.
One idea, one budget and one calendar across outdoor, print, Meta ads, influencers, cinema and in-store — so every channel says the same thing at the same time and results are reported together.
