EdTech startups · Social media
Post for the parent and the teacher, because they decide for the child.
Social media marketing for an EdTech startup means posting where parents, teachers and school leaders already spend time, and giving each a reason to try the product. GullySales plans the posts, the audience split and the routine that turns a follower into a demo request.
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 EdTech startups
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The child is not the audience that pays”
A reel that delights a student may never reach the parent. Posts for the buyer speak to study habits, exam stress and how the parent can see progress, while the child sees the product only after the parent agrees.
“Teachers are your quiet distribution channel”
A teacher who finds a tool useful tells colleagues and the principal. Posts that give a teacher something to use in class, such as a worksheet idea, earn that attention more than a product announcement does.
“Claims about marks are the easy post and the risky one”
A post saying marks rose invites doubt from parents and attention from regulators if the proof is thin. Show how the product works and what a learner does in a session, and keep outcome claims out.
“Children appear in posts only with consent”
A class photo or a student's work is tempting content. It needs written consent from the parent or guardian for that use, and a school's own rules may add to it.
What we do
What we deliver for EdTech startups.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
Audience split for posts
A plan that labels each post for parent, teacher or school leader, so no post tries to speak to all three.
Result: Each post has one named reader.
Teacher-facing content set
Ideas for classroom activities, short how-to clips and templates that a teacher can use without buying anything.
Result: Teachers have a reason to follow and to share.
Consent form for child content
A short consent wording for parents covering a child's name, photo or work, reviewed by your own counsel.
Result: No child appears in a post without a signed record.
Post-to-enquiry link routine
Every post points to one page or WhatsApp number, with a tag that shows which post brought the enquiry.
Result: You can see which posts produce demo requests.
Exam-season content calendar
A calendar around the school year, board exams and entrance tests, giving each period its own themes.
Result: Posting follows the periods when parents are looking.
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.
Posts and pieces to plan
Plan posts that a parent forwards to another parent or a teacher shows to a principal.
- A five-minute concept explained for Class 7
- A short video of a teacher explaining one idea from the product. Show the real screen and use a lesson you have the right to publish.
- What a school pilot looked like
- A carousel on the steps of a pilot, from teacher training to the review meeting. Name a school only if its head has agreed in writing.
- Exam-week study routine for parents
- A text post or image with a plain routine a family can follow. The product is mentioned once at the end, if at all.
- A teacher's view of the dashboard
- A screen recording by a teacher who uses it, shown without any child's name or marks. The proof is the screen, and the teacher has agreed to appear.
- Answers to questions principals asked
- A post built from real queries on data handling and syllabus fit. Each answer points to the page where the school can read more.
Who it is for
This is written for these EdTech startups.

- Direct-to-parent exam-prep and tuition apps
- Skilling and employability startups selling to colleges and employers

- Teacher training and school improvement startups

Not for
It is not the right fit if.
- No one on the team can get parent consent for photographs of children, so the feed would have nothing safe to show.
- The product changes every few weeks and screenshots go stale, so posts would show features that no longer exist.
- The startup has no demo booking route, so a post that gains attention would not turn into a parent or school conversation.
How it works
How the social media work runs
The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.
- 1
Confirm audience, platforms and access
We note which platforms your buyers use and check that the pages sit under your own business accounts, with you as owner and us as added roles.
- 2
Review the current presence
We read the existing pages, the posts that drew replies and the gaps in posting.
- 3
Build the calendar
Themes, formats and dates are set out for your approval, with space for offers and news.
- 4
Create, approve and publish
Posts are made, approved by you and scheduled. Replies to the public are handled in your voice.
- 5
Record enquiries and adjust
Enquiries are logged against the post or platform where they began, and the mix changes to follow what brings them.
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.
