Coffee shops · Social media

Show the roast, the pour and the people, and let the finished cup be the last frame.

Social media marketing for a coffee shop is the use of Instagram, Facebook and short video to show the shop's character to people nearby and to coffee lovers further away. GullySales works on what the team films, how posts are planned and how the page turns viewers into visitors and bag buyers.

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 coffee shops

Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.

  • “Every cafe photographs the same latte art”

    A top-down shot of a cup on a marble table looks like every other account in the city. What differs between shops is the roasting, the people behind the machine and the corner of the room, and those rarely make it to the grid.

  • “The page is read as a menu and a map”

    A first-time visitor opens the profile to see what the place looks like, whether it is open and what to order. A grid of bright pictures with no hours, no bio detail and no link answers none of that.

  • “Reels reach strangers, stories reach regulars”

    A short video of a roast batch or a pour travels to people who do not follow the shop. A story about today's special speaks to those who do. Mixing the two jobs into one post weakens both.

  • “Food rules apply to what a post claims”

    A post about a drink, a bean or an ingredient is advertising. Advertising rules differ by trade and by state, so check with your own adviser before claiming anything about health or origin, and check the platform's current rules.

What we do

What we deliver for coffee shops.

Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.

  1. A content plan built on the process

    A list of repeatable post ideas drawn from the roast, the grind, the pour and the team, with a note on what each is for.

    Result: The barista has a ready idea each time the camera comes out.

  2. A short filming guide for the team

    Where to stand, which light to use and how long a clip should run, written for a phone and a busy counter, with no studio.

    Result: Anyone on shift can shoot a usable clip.

  3. Profile set-up for a first visit

    Bio, highlights, hours, directions and the order link arranged so that a stranger knows what to do within a glance.

    Result: A visitor can find hours and the bean page from the profile.

  4. A story routine for regulars

    A small set of story formats for new lots, today's special and the slow-hour offer, each with a reply route to WhatsApp.

    Result: Regulars get a reason to reply and a place to do it.

  5. A comment and message reply guide

    Short answers to the questions a coffee shop receives: hours, seating, beans, office orders and events.

    Result: Messages get a consistent answer from whoever is holding the phone.

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

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. 1

    Understand your audience and platforms

    We identify which platforms your specific buyers actually use and what kind of content they respond to.

  2. 2

    Audit current presence

    We review existing pages, past content performance and any gaps in consistency.

  3. 3

    Build the content calendar

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

  4. 4

    Implement and post

    Content is created and published consistently on the agreed schedule.

  5. 5

    Measure and optimise

    We track enquiries alongside engagement and adjust the content mix based on what actually performs.

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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need
How often should a coffee shop post?
Post at the rate your team can sustain with care. A steady, honest page beats a burst of posts followed by silence. We help you pick a rhythm that one person can keep going.
Should we pay influencers to visit?
Only for a specific reason, such as an opening or a workshop. A paid visit gives a single spike of attention. Regulars and bean customers are built through your own page and the counter. Check the platform's current rules on disclosing paid posts.
Is Facebook still worth using?
For some neighbourhoods, yes, especially for events and for older customers and local groups. Look at where your own customers come from before spending effort on a platform.
How long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
How soon will we see results?
It depends on the trade, the channel and what is already in place. After we have read your brief and spoken to you, we say what we would expect to move first and how it will be measured against the baseline. Nothing here is guaranteed.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
Your brief, and a conversation. After that, access to whatever this work touches, such as your website, your accounts or your enquiry record, and time with the people who handle your enquiries.
What if we are not happy with the work?
Tell us and the plan changes. Everything is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. The term is in your written scope, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
