Tea shops · Social media

The kettle, the pour and the packet make good posts; the tea shop only has to turn up.

Social media marketing for a tea shop means showing the pour, the people and the packets on Instagram and Facebook so the neighbourhood remembers the shop and a few followers become packet buyers. GullySales works on what gets posted, how it is shot at the counter and where each post sends the viewer.

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 tea shops

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

  • “The best content is already at the counter”

    Steam off a kulhad, a tapri at six in the morning, a kilo of leaf being weighed. These need no studio. The trouble is that no one at the shop is told to film them, so the feed shows a logo and a festival greeting.

  • “Followers like the chai and never see the packet”

    A feed full of cups gets likes from regulars. Without a post that says the blend is available to take home, with a price and an order route, the audience stays an audience.

  • “Reels get views from people who will never visit”

    A pour video can travel across the country and bring viewers who live nowhere near the counter. Posts that mention the town, the street and the opening hour speak to the people who can walk in.

  • “Replies and messages go cold”

    A comment asking for the price of a packet, or a message asking about a flask for the office, sits unanswered for a day. By then the viewer has bought elsewhere. Someone at the shop has to be named for replies.

What we do

What we deliver for tea 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 around the counter

    A list of repeatable shots: the pour, the leaf, the new blend, the regulars' order, the festival box, each with a caption pattern.

    Result: Staff know what to film on a quiet minute.

  2. A packet post template

    A format for showing a blend with its name, a line on how it tastes, the packet size and how to order.

    Result: Every packet post gives the viewer a route to buy.

  3. A short-video routine for the counter

    A way of filming one reel without stopping the queue, with the phone position, light and audio kept simple.

    Result: A reel can be made by whoever is on shift.

  4. An account profile that explains the shop

    Bio, highlights and pinned posts that say where the shop is, what is on the menu, whether packets and flasks are sold, and how to reach you.

    Result: A new visitor understands the shop from the profile.

  5. A message reply guide

    Answers to the questions asked most, such as packet price, flask orders and franchise, with who handles each.

    Result: Messages reach a named person with a ready answer.

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
Which platform matters most for a tea shop?
Instagram suits the pour and the packet, and Facebook reaches an older neighbourhood audience. Start with the one your customers already use and look at the messages that come in.
Do we need to post every day?
No. A few posts that show the shop's blends and a way to buy beat a stream of greetings. We set a pattern the staff can keep up with and check which posts bring enquiries.
Should we pay influencers?
Not first. Start with your regulars and nearby food accounts who visit. Paid collaborations are a later step, and any paid post should follow the platform's current rules on disclosure.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
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.
