Day care centres · Social media
Post the actual activity corner and meal routine, not a stock photo of unrelated children.
Social media marketing for a day care centre means sharing real, permission-cleared moments from the actual rooms, the meal schedule, the outdoor play area and festival activities. This is timed around the admission calendar each year. GullySales plans this content around your real routines and answers enquiries that arrive in comments and messages.
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 day care centres
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Real rooms and routines, not generic clip art”
A post of your actual toddler room and its nap schedule gives a parent a far clearer, more trusting picture. A cheerful but generic stock photograph could never do the same.
“A content calendar built around the admission season”
Posts about trial-day bookings and the admission process need a stronger push from February through June, rather than being posted only when convenient during the year.
“Comments and DMs checked like a phone line”
A parent asking about infant care availability in a comment who gets no reply for a day has often already enquired with another centre by the time someone responds.
What we do
What we deliver for day care centres.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A content calendar of real rooms and routines
A month-by-month plan for posts showing the actual toddler room, meal schedule and outdoor play area, not stock photography.
Result: A scrolling parent sees the actual centre their child would join.
A stronger posting push from February to June
The calendar weighted towards trial-day and admission content in the months parents are actually deciding.
Result: Posts reach parents at the moment they are comparing centres.
A same-day reply routine for comments and messages
A checked routine for answering enquiries that arrive in comments or direct messages, treated with the urgency of a phone call.
Result: A parent asking in a comment does not have to wait for a reply.
A consent process for photographing children
A simple, recorded process for getting parental consent before any child appears in a post, kept on file for each family.
Result: Posts are used with the right permission already in place.
An engagement and enquiry report
A look at which posts led to an actual enquiry, not just likes or views, measured against the baseline.
Result: You know which kind of post is worth making more of.
How the result is measured
- Posts published
- Engagement rate
- Enquiries from social profiles
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.
Platforms for parents
Where parents look for a day care, and what to post for each.
- Instagram reels of the room routine
- Show the meal table, the story corner and the outdoor play area with no faces, or only with written parent consent. The action wanted is a message to book a visit.
- WhatsApp status for local parents
- Post admission dates, trial-day slots and the visit hours. The action wanted is a reply with the child's age band, so you can say if a place is open.
- Facebook and apartment mothers' groups
- Answer questions about timings, age bands and food when asked, and offer the centre's page. Do not paste an advert into the group. The action wanted is a visit, so give the area and landmark.
- Google Business Profile posts
- Post the opening hours, admission dates and what a trial day involves. Add photos of the empty rooms and kitchen. The action wanted is a call or directions to the centre.
- What not to post for a day care
- Do not post children's faces, names, nap pictures or pickup times without written consent from the parent. Do not show a child in a uniform that names another school. Do not post staff phone numbers.

How it works
From your first message to the first report.
No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.
First
Your brief
You tell us what you need in a few short steps: your business, what you want, where enquiries come from and how they are handled.
After the brief
A conversation and a written scope
We read it, then talk with whoever handles your enquiries. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come in writing, and nothing starts before you have read them.
Before work starts
Baseline recorded
The numbers this work is meant to move, such as enquiries, quotations, orders, visits or renewals, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.
After the baseline
The first fix goes live
The fix we agreed to start with is put in place and measured against the baseline, whether that is a reply, a follow-up, a page, a listing or the handover between marketing and sales.
As agreed
Report against the baseline
What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words. How often you get it is set in writing before work starts.
At renewal
Renew on the numbers
The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. The length is agreed in writing before anything starts.

Why us
Why owners pick GullySales over an agency.
Marketing and sales, as one job
Most agencies stop at the enquiry. We also fix what happens after it: the reply, the follow-up, the quote and the CRM.
The person on the first call does the work
No account managers in between. You are never handed to someone you have not met.
A baseline before anything starts
Your numbers are written down on day one, so every later report compares against something honest.
The fee in writing, split three ways
Our time, your media spend and production on separate lines. You always see what goes to us.
No guarantees we cannot keep
The term is agreed in writing and never a default twelve months. We never promise a ranking or a lead count, because nobody controls those.
One office, and we say so
Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru. We work across India by call and WhatsApp and travel when a session needs to be in person.
#257, 3rd floor, Sri Nanjundeshwara Complex, Nagarbhavi 8th Block, Outer Ring Road. How we work.
