Shoe repair shops · Social media
Let the before and after do the selling that a signboard cannot.
Social media marketing for a shoe repair shop is the habit of showing finished work: a resoled pair, a re-stitched strap, a polished boot. GullySales works on what to photograph, how to caption it and where to post so that neighbours who might use you see 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 shoe repair shops
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The repair is already a story in two frames”
A cracked leather shoe beside the same shoe restored needs little explaining. Shot on the bench in plain light, it answers the doubt in a customer's mind about whether a worn pair is worth saving.
“Posts must reach the lanes you serve”
A reel that travels to another city sends no one to your bench. A location tag, the neighbourhood group and the school parent group put the post in front of people who can walk in.
“The shoe belongs to the customer”
Show the work and leave out the owner. Ask before posting a recognisable pair with a name, a school badge or a company mark, and keep faces out of the frame. A shop that respects this is trusted with the next pair.
“The calendar writes half the posts”
School reopening, the rains and wedding season each bring a different fault to the bench. A post planned around each one reaches people just before the fault appears.
What we do
What we deliver for shoe repair shops.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A corner of the bench set up for photographs
A plain background, daylight and a habit of taking one picture before and one after each interesting repair.
Result: Every good repair leaves two pictures behind.
A caption format you can repeat
The item, the fault, the repair done and, where true, what could not be fixed, in two or three lines.
Result: Posts read the same way and customers learn what to look for.
A seasonal post plan
Post ideas for school reopening, monsoon sole separation and wedding season, with the wording for each.
Result: The next season's posts are written before the season starts.
Local tagging and group posting
A list of the neighbourhood, parent and office groups where posts may be shared, checked against each group's rules.
Result: Posts reach people near the shop.
Short clips of one step
A short video of one stage, such as stitching a strap or pressing a new sole, taken from the bench.
Result: A viewer sees the skill behind the price.
Replies to comments and messages
Draft answers to the questions that come in on posts, with a nudge to move the conversation to WhatsApp.
Result: A comment ends in a photo quote.

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.
