Travel agencies and tour operators · Social media

Post your own departures, not stock pictures of Switzerland.

Social media for a travel agency is the proof that real families travelled with you and came back pleased. GullySales plans what gets shot on each departure, turns it into the season's posts, and stops the enquiries arriving in the messages from being lost.

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 travel agencies and tour operators

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

  • “A stock Bali sunset brings nothing”

    Every agency posts the same downloaded view. A photograph of twenty-two people from your own city on that beach brings messages.

  • “The saving happens months before the booking”

    Travellers save reels of a destination long before any dates exist, so the caption has to say which trip and from where.

  • “Instagram messages are enquiries”

    They arrive at night, in half sentences, and go unanswered because nobody treats that inbox as a source of bookings.

What we do

What we deliver for travel agencies and tour operators.

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

  1. A shot plan the tour manager can follow

    A short list of what to capture on each departure, including the group photograph, the hotel, a meal and one moment people talk about afterwards.

    Result: Every trip comes back with something to post.

  2. Traveller permission asked on the trip itself

    Consent for photographs and reviews taken on the last day with a note of who agreed, so nothing gets posted that a family did not expect.

    Result: You use the pictures without an awkward message later.

  3. Captions that name the trip and the departure city

    Each post saying which package it is, which month it ran and where the group left from, with the WhatsApp number in the profile.

    Result: A reel saved in December still turns into an enquiry in March.

  4. Instagram and Facebook given different jobs

    Reels and stories for the younger traveller planning a honeymoon, Facebook for the senior citizen groups and yatra departures where that audience still sits.

    Result: Each platform carries the trips its readers book.

  5. The messages inbox treated as an enquiry queue

    Instagram and Facebook messages checked twice a day by a named person and logged alongside the phone and website enquiries.

    Result: A question asked at night has an answer by morning.

  6. A backlog banked for the off-season

    Posts prepared from the last season's material before the quiet months begin, so the feed does not go dead through July.

    Result: The account keeps working when nobody is travelling.

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.

Platform for this buyer

Where travellers look, and what a travel agency posts on each.

Instagram reels from a departure
Film the group at check-in, a meal and the view, with the trip, the date and the departure city in the caption. The action is to message 'dates' to get the itinerary.
Facebook for families and pilgrimage groups
Post the itinerary as text with the departure date and what is included and excluded. Older families read these slowly. The action is to call the office.
WhatsApp lists of past travellers
Send the next departure and the seats still open to people who travelled before and asked to hear. The action is to reply to hold a seat. Keep the list opt-in.
YouTube destination guides
Make honest guides: what to carry, which months are crowded, what a day looks like. The action is to ask for an itinerary built for a family's dates.
Google Business Profile
Post office and trip photographs and respond to reviews. People searching 'travel agent near me' check this first. The action is a call.
What not to post
Passport or visa copies, ticket PNRs, a traveller's children without the parents' consent, and 'last seats' posts when it is not true.

Who it is for

This is written for these travel agencies and tour operators.

  • Retail travel agencies selling domestic packages
  • Tour operators running their own group departures
  • International holiday and honeymoon specialists
  • Pilgrimage and yatra tour organisers
  • Air, rail and bus ticketing agents
  • Corporate travel and MICE agencies
  • Visa and travel documentation services
  • School and college educational tour operators
  • Local guides and sightseeing operators

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • You want a guaranteed Google ranking or a guaranteed number of leads. Nobody honest can promise either.
  • You need enquiries by next week and have nobody to answer them.
  • You want posts and reach reported, not enquiries and orders.

How it works

From your first message to the first report.

No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. Before work starts

    Baseline recorded

    Enquiries by source, reply time, conversion and cost per order, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.

  4. 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 reply time, a follow-up sequence, the page buyers land on or the handover between marketing and sales.

  5. 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.

  6. 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. 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.

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.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need
Our reels get views and no messages. Why?
Because they are downloaded destination clips that could belong to any agency in India. A viewer writes to you when she sees a group like her own family, from her own city, on a trip she could book.
Should we pay travel influencers?
Only ones whose followers live in your departure city and could realistically join a group. A creator with a national following brings comments from places you do not operate from.
Should we show package prices on posts or ask people to message?
Show a starting price with what it includes and the dates it applies to, and say prices change with season and availability. A bare 'DM for price' puts people off. Never show a price you cannot sell at that day.
A traveller writes a bad comment about a hotel on our tour. What do we do?
Reply once, apologise for their experience and ask them to call with details. Do not blame the hotel in public. Raise it with the hotel, record what you found, and tell the traveller what you did. Decide whether the hotel stays in your plans.
How do we stop people using our itinerary to book on their own?
Send a clear summary first and the detailed hotel-by-hotel plan once the traveller has confirmed interest or paid a small booking amount. Follow up within a day of sending any quote, because the traveller who hears back quickly rarely rebuilds the trip alone.
Should we list our packages on large travel portals?
It can help a tour operator fill group departures, but the portal owns the customer relationship and takes a share. We usually build direct enquiries and repeat business first, then decide on portals for specific departures.
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.
