Automotive spare parts dealers · Social media
Show the shelf, the new stock and the runner so garages remember you.
Social media marketing for a spare parts dealer is the use of a few posts and a WhatsApp status to show mechanics and vehicle owners what is on the shelf and who stands behind it. GullySales works on what to post, in which place, and who at the counter answers the replies.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.
What social media means
Social media is the ongoing posting your business does on platforms such as Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn to stay visible to customers and prospects between purchases. GullySales plans a posting calendar, writes captions and designs the images so the page looks active and answers what a visitor would ask.

For automotive spare parts dealers
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“A mechanic scrolls for stock, not for entertainment”
The garage owner who follows a parts shop wants to see new arrivals, a clutch kit for a model that was hard to find, or a price change. A post that shows a part with its brand and model does more than a festival greeting.
“A WhatsApp status reaches the trade where it already is”
Mechanics already keep supplier numbers in their phones. A short status with new stock reaches them without an advertisement, and a message to a saved broadcast list reaches the garages that asked to hear from you.
“Customers fear fake parts and want to see the box”
A photograph of the part beside its packaging and the brand mark tells a buyer exactly what will be handed over the counter. A post that hides the brand makes the cautious buyer assume the worst, so show the box, the label and the bill book beside the part.
“A counter post is one the whole shop can make”
The best posts come from the counter, taken on the phone in a minute: a part just unpacked, a delivery leaving. Waiting for a designed poster slows the posting and makes the page look unlike the shop.
What we do
What we deliver for automotive spare parts dealers.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A short list of post types
Four or five formats the counter can repeat: new arrival, fitment tip, runner delivery, brand on the shelf, and a festival closure notice.
Result: The person at the counter knows what to post.
Photograph rules for the shelf
Simple guidance on light, background and showing the box and brand, so every picture looks like the same shop.
Result: Posts look consistent without a designer.
A broadcast list for garages
A WhatsApp list of garages who agreed to receive new-stock messages, with a written note on what you will send.
Result: Trade customers hear about stock directly.
A reply routine for comments and messages
A named person and a short set of answers for questions about price, fitment and availability.
Result: Questions on a post are answered by the shop.
A record of which posts brought calls
A note of calls and messages that followed each post, kept beside the counter log.
Result: You see which kinds of post bring buyers.

Where this fits
Three pieces of sales work, in this order.
This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 0, foundation. The audit comes before it, and sales management keeps it running.
Step 1
Sales audit
Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.
Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.
Step 2 · you are here
Sales process design
One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.
Start here if every salesperson sells differently.
Step 3
Sales management
A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.
Start here if the team has targets and no routine.
