Banks · Social media ads
Target the small business owner in a locality, not every social media user in the city.
Social media ads for a bank means precisely targeted advertisements. A business loan offer shown to small business owners in one area, or a savings scheme shown to young professionals, not broad, undifferentiated advertising. GullySales targets and writes these to be accurate and compliant.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.
What social media ads means
Social media ads are paid posts on platforms such as Instagram and Facebook shown to people chosen by location, age or interest rather than to your existing followers. GullySales sets the targeting, writes the ad copy and checks spend against the enquiries it brings so it produces enquiries instead of likes.
Last updated 5 Oct 2026. Rules for this trade differ by state and professional body, and they change. We describe restrictions in general terms, so check the current position with your own council or adviser before you publish anything.
For banks
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Precise targeting matters more here than broad reach”
An advertisement for a business loan scheme performs far better when shown specifically to small business owners in a relevant locality. A general audience with no particular need for it responds far less.
“Compliance shapes every claim in the advertisement”
A social media advertisement stating an interest rate or a scheme benefit needs the same accuracy and disclosure as any other bank communication. That requires careful review before it goes live.
“Video performs well for explaining a benefit quickly”
A short video explaining a scheme's key benefit in under thirty seconds holds attention on social media. A static image with dense text is easy for a scrolling user to ignore.
What we do
What we deliver for banks.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
Locality and segment-targeted ad sets
Advertisements for a business loan scheme shown specifically to small business owners in a relevant locality, not a broad city-wide audience.
Result: The ad reaches someone who actually has the need it addresses.
Compliance-checked ad claims
Every stated rate or benefit reviewed for accuracy and required disclosure before an advertisement goes live.
Result: An ad never claims more than the bank can actually stand behind.
Short benefit-focused videos
Videos under thirty seconds explaining one scheme benefit clearly, built for a scrolling social media audience.
Result: The benefit lands before a scrolling user moves past it.
Enquiry-based ad performance tracking
Campaign performance measured by actual enquiries generated, not reach or impressions alone.
Result: You know whether the ad brought in a real enquiry, not just a view.
How the result is measured
- Cost per enquiry
- Click-through rate
- Enquiries from paid social
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.
Platform for this buyer
Where a bank should run ads for each buyer, and what each ad should ask for.
- Instagram and Facebook lead form for business loans
- Show it to shop owners and small traders around the branch, with a form that asks name, business type and a phone number. State only what is approved: no rate or sanction promise. Pass the lead to the loan desk the same day it arrives.
- Instagram Reels for a salary account
- Aim a short explainer at young professionals in the offices near the branch. The click should open a short form or a WhatsApp chat with the branch, not a long application.
- Facebook for pension and senior citizen deposits
- An older audience still uses Facebook and WhatsApp more than other apps. Use large type and one plain line about the scheme. Direct the click to a branch phone line that a person actually answers.
- YouTube for an NRI remittance and account explainer
- Run a short video aimed at families whose relative lives abroad, and send the viewer to a page that lists the documents the branch needs. Show only products the branch can offer.
- Audience limits for a financial advertiser
- Meta applies its own rules to financial products and may limit targeting by age or location. Read the platform's current rules before building a set, and keep every claim on the ad matching your approved material.
- What happens after the lead form
- Decide who calls, from which number, and what is written in the log before the first ad runs. A lead nobody calls is paid reach with nothing to show. Record the outcome against the ad that brought it.

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.
