Bikanervala: Lead Growth by Digital Marketing Agency in Kothaguda
Case Study: Bikanervala Kothaguda Grows 425% with Expert Digital Marketing in Kothaguda
Digital Mojo
Introduction
Bikanervala opened their Kothaguda outlet in early 2023 with everything needed for success. National brand recognition, excellent food quality, prime location near Gachibowli IT hub and HITEC City. Yet six months in, they were struggling. Daily footfall stayed at just 85-95 customers. Monthly revenue hovered around ₹2.8 lakhs against projections of ₹12-15 lakhs. The problem wasn’t the product. The problem was visibility. Despite the Bikanervala name, locals in Kothaguda, Gachibowli, and Madhapur simply didn’t know this outlet existed. Corporate gifting potential remained completely untapped. When they approached Digital Mojo, a digital marketing agency in Kothaguda, they needed strategic branding to establish market dominance fast. Within 90 days of launching our comprehensive branding ads campaign, Bikanervala Kothaguda’s daily footfall jumped 425% and monthly revenue hit ₹14.7 lakhs. Here’s how we did it.
The Challenge
When Bikanervala Kothaguda came to Digital Mojo as their digital marketing agency in Hyderabad, four critical problems stood out:
Zero Local Brand Awareness Despite National Recognition
Bikanervala as a brand was known nationally, but locally in Kothaguda nobody knew this outlet existed. The restaurant sat on the main road where thousands drove past daily, yet 90% of residents in Gachibowli, Madhapur, and HITEC City had no idea Bikanervala was right there. Competitors with inferior products but strong local presence were capturing all the business. Online searches for “sweet shops near me” in Kothaguda weren’t showing Bikanervala. Google Maps listing had just 12 reviews. Social media pages for Bikanervala Kothaguda had 240 followers combined across Facebook and Instagram.
Missing the Corporate Gifting Goldmine
Thousands of companies operated within 5 kilometers of Bikanervala Kothaguda. Office celebrations happened daily. Diwali corporate gifting alone represented potential business worth ₹40-50 lakhs from nearby IT parks. Yet Bikanervala was getting zero corporate orders. Companies were ordering from established players they already knew. HR teams planning Diwali gifts, birthday celebrations, client meetings weren’t even aware Bikanervala Kothaguda could handle bulk customized orders with reliable delivery.
Festival Season Opportunities Completely Missed
Diwali, Raksha Bandhan, Holi, Dussehra represent massive revenue opportunities for sweet shops. Families in Gachibowli and Madhapur spend heavily on sweets and gifting during festivals. But Bikanervala Kothaguda saw minimal uptick during these peak seasons because they built no pre-festival buzz. Competitors started marketing 30-45 days before festivals, capturing advance orders. By the time festival week arrived, customers had already decided where to buy. Bikanervala was an afterthought.
No Differentiation from Local Competition
Several sweet shops operated in Kothaguda and surrounding areas. What made Bikanervala different? Better quality, wider variety, national brand reliability, ability to handle large orders. But nobody in the area knew these differentiators. Without strategic branding communicating what made Bikanervala Kothaguda special, they were just another sweet shop competing on location convenience. Premium pricing seemed unjustified to customers who didn’t understand the quality difference.
Our Strategic Branding Approach
Digital Mojo designed a comprehensive branding and advertising strategy for Bikanervala Kothaguda, focused on building top-of-mind awareness and establishing category leadership.
Phase 1: Brand Positioning and Messaging Strategy
Before running a single branding ad for Bikanervala Kothaguda, we spent three weeks defining positioning.
Target audience segmentation:
We identified five distinct customer groups for Bikanervala Kothaguda. Families in Gachibowli, Madhapur, Kothaguda celebrate occasions and festivals. Corporate HR teams in nearby IT parks handling 50-5000 employee companies needing gifting solutions. Young professionals in HITEC City want quality snacks and sweets for home. NRI families visiting Hyderabad looking for trusted sweet brands to take back. Wedding planners and event organizers need bulk sweet boxes for functions.
Brand messaging framework:
We developed messaging pillars emphasizing different aspects for different audiences. For families, authentic taste and festival tradition. For corporations, reliability at scale and customization capabilities. For young professionals, premium quality and convenience. For all audiences, the national brand trust factor combined with local accessibility.
Competitive differentiation:
What made Bikanervala Kothaguda different wasn’t just food quality. It was consistent quality at any order size, ability to handle orders from 10 pieces to 10,000 pieces, customization options local shops couldn’t match, delivery reliability for time-sensitive corporate needs, and hygiene standards backed by a national brand.
Phase 2: Visual Brand Identity for Kothaguda
Bikanervala had national brand guidelines, but we needed to create localized visual assets for Kothaguda.
Professional photography:
We organized a comprehensive shoot at Bikanervala Kothaguda. Product photography showcasing signature items like rasgulla, gulab jamun, soan papdi, namkeens, chaat items. Lifestyle shots showing families enjoying sweets, corporate gift hampers beautifully arranged, festival celebration moments. Behind-the-scenes shots showing kitchen hygiene, sweet-making process, quality ingredients. Delivery and service moments building trust for corporate clients.

We produced several video assets for branding campaigns. 60-second brand story video explaining Bikanervala’s legacy and what made the Kothaguda outlet special. 30-second festival celebration videos for Diwali, Holi, and Raksha Bandhan. 15-second product hero videos showcasing bestsellers. Customer testimonial videos from satisfied corporate clients. Kitchen tour video demonstrating hygiene and quality standards.

Festival campaigns launched 45 days before major festivals with booking offers and collection previews. Corporate branding targeted HR professionals, admin teams, and decision-makers in nearby IT companies. Retargeting campaigns stayed in front of people who engaged with any Bikanervala content.
Google branding campaigns:

YouTube campaigns ran pre-roll ads on relevant channels watched by families and professionals in Hyderabad.
