Painters · Social media
Let the finished wall do the talking on the phones of your neighbours.
Social media marketing for a painter is the practice of showing finished rooms and the care behind them to people in your own area. GullySales works on what to photograph, what to write and where to post it.
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 painters
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The finish is the only product anyone can see”
Customers cannot judge paint until it is dry, and they cannot judge a painter until the work is done. A short clip of a wall before putty and after the last coat shows the difference in a way a promise cannot.
“Reels of progress beat polished adverts”
A crew taping the skirting, covering the floor and cleaning the roller answers the fear of mess. People trust what looks like a real site more than a staged room, so process shots are worth posting.
“Society groups matter more than your own page”
A recommendation in a neighbourhood WhatsApp or Facebook group is read by the exact families who might paint next. Your page may have few followers, yet one post in the right group is seen by the people who matter.
“Posting only at festivals leaves a gap”
A page that wakes up each October looks like a painter who disappears. A small steady stream of finished jobs through the quieter months keeps your name known when the rush starts.
What we do
What we deliver for painters.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A shot list for every job
A short checklist of photographs and clips to take before, during and after each job, without showing addresses.
Result: Every finished job leaves a set of usable pictures.
A bank of before-and-after sets
Paired images of walls, ceilings, doors and exteriors, labelled by finish and brand.
Result: You have a folder ready to post from.
Posts about the preparation
Short posts on putty, primer and damp treatment explaining what sits under the paint.
Result: A viewer learns why a proper job takes longer.
A posting plan around festivals and rains
A calendar placing posts before Diwali, before the monsoon and at tenant turnover.
Result: Posts appear ahead of the season, not during the rush.
A routine for society and neighbourhood groups
Guidance on how to introduce your work in local groups without spamming, and how to answer questions that follow.
Result: You know what to post and what to leave out.
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.

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
- 1
Understand your audience and platforms
We identify which platforms your specific buyers actually use and what kind of content they respond to.
- 2
Audit current presence
We review existing pages, past content performance and any gaps in consistency.
- 3
Build the content calendar
A plan is created, balancing genuine value with occasional direct offers.
- 4
Implement and post
Content is created and published consistently on the agreed schedule.
- 5
Measure and optimise
We track enquiries alongside engagement and adjust the content mix based on what actually performs.
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.
