Destination management companies · Social media

Use social platforms to show operators the people and ground work behind the programme.

Social media for a DMC is mostly a trade audience on LinkedIn, plus Instagram as a shop window for planners who judge by what they see. GullySales plans what to post, writes it and keeps the feed useful to buyers instead of travellers.

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 destination management companies

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

  • “LinkedIn is where the buyer is”

    Product heads, operations managers and corporate event buyers keep LinkedIn profiles current. A DMC page and a handful of staff profiles posting real programme notes are found by exactly the people who write briefs.

  • “Instagram works as proof, not advertising”

    A planner checking a DMC before sending a brief scrolls its feed for real guests, real vehicles and real venues. Stock images of monuments tell them nothing about delivery.

  • “Posting what you may not show”

    Guests, minors and confidential operators cannot be photographed or named freely. A DMC needs a rule for permission before a picture goes up, not after a complaint.

What we do

What we deliver for destination management companies.

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

  1. A platform plan for trade

    Which accounts to keep, what each is for, and who on your team speaks for the company.

    Result: Each account has a stated purpose and an owner.

  2. Staff profile guidance

    Short guidance for the sales head and operations lead on how to present their profiles and what to share.

    Result: Profiles an operator checking you reads as credible.

  3. A programme-note post format

    A repeatable layout for sharing one day of a programme, a new hotel or a venue, written for a planner.

    Result: Posts a buyer can use when building their own brochure.

  4. A permissions checklist

    A simple record of consent for photographs, names and venues before anything is published.

    Result: A written trail behind every picture on the feed.

  5. Reading the results

    Which posts led to profile visits, messages or briefs, recorded against the starting point.

    Result: You can tell which posts reached the buyers.

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
Should the company or the founder post?
Both can. The company page holds the record, and the founder or sales head speaks as a person. Buyers in travel respond better to a named individual more than to a logo.
Can we show guests on the feed?
Only with their agreement, and take extra care with children. Ask the operator too, since some want their DMC kept private. Keep the consent in writing.
Do we need paid promotion on social platforms?
Not as a starting point. Reaching named buyers directly costs nothing but time. Paid reach can be tested later, within the platform's current rules.
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.
