Martial arts schools · Social media
Show the discipline and the journey, and keep the children's faces for those who consent.
Social media marketing for a martial arts school means using Instagram, Facebook and YouTube to show your instructors, your teaching and your gradings to local families. GullySales plans the posts and the consent routine, so the school's page stays active and respectful.
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 martial arts schools
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Parents watch for how the instructor speaks”
A short clip of the instructor correcting a white belt kindly says more about the school than a banner of trophies. Parents are deciding whether to trust this adult with their child.
“Photographs of children are a consent matter”
Every image of a child needs the family's written agreement, naming the place it will appear. A school that posts first and asks later risks a complaint and the loss of the family.
“A grading is a story that has an ending”
The belt tied, the certificate handed over, the family clapping. Grading day gives a natural sequence of posts, and each one tells a prospective parent that progress is visible here.
“Technique videos can go wrong”
A clip of a sparring drill shown without context frightens a worried parent. The same drill described with its safety gear and supervision reassures them.
What we do
What we deliver for martial arts schools.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A content plan built around the school year
A calendar of posts around term start, gradings, tournaments and festivals, drawn from what the school already does.
Result: The page has a reason to post, not a need to invent one.
A consent form for images
A one-page form for families stating what may be photographed and where it may appear.
Result: You hold written consent before any child is posted.
Short videos of instructors teaching
Guidance for filming a drill with its explanation, the safety gear and the instructor's voice.
Result: Parents see the teaching, not only the result.
Grading day coverage
A plan for photographing and sharing grading day, with the consented students and the instructors.
Result: The belt journey becomes visible to new families.
Reply routine for messages and comments
Wording for answering questions about fees, timings and safety in direct messages.
Result: Questions on social media reach the trial list.

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.
How the social media work runs

A plan is created, balancing genuine value with occasional direct offers.

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.
