Customs clearance agents · Social media

Post for the trader who needs an agent, not for the general public.

Social media marketing for a customs clearance agency means showing importers, exporters and forwarders that the agency knows their trade. GullySales works on what is posted, where, and how a reply becomes a conversation.

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 customs clearance agents

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

  • “LinkedIn reaches the person who chooses the agent”

    The buyer is a logistics head, a proprietor or an accounts manager at a trading firm. Those people are on LinkedIn for work. A short post about a documentation point their trade meets reaches them better than a festival greeting.

  • “A post about a client's consignment can breach trust”

    Clearance work is confidential and a named shipment can reveal a client's supplier or cost. Write about the type of problem and how it is handled, never the client, the goods or the value, unless they have agreed in writing.

  • “Regulatory news posted late or wrongly misleads”

    Circulars and notifications change what an importer must do. Sharing one without reading it carefully, or with a wrong summary, harms trust. Link to the authority's own notice and add a plain sentence on why it matters.

  • “Replies on a post are small enquiries”

    A trader who comments or sends a message is showing interest. If nobody answers, the post earned nothing. Someone should own the replies the way someone owns the phone.

What we do

What we deliver for customs clearance agents.

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

  1. A choice of platforms for your buyers

    A decision, with reasons, on where your importers, exporters and forwarders spend time.

    Result: Effort goes to the places your buyers use.

  2. A set of post types that fit the trade

    Plain explainers, port and process notes, and short specialism posts, all general in advice.

    Result: Each post shows knowledge without breaching a client's confidence.

  3. A confidentiality check before anything is posted

    A short rule list covering clients, goods, values and photographs of cargo.

    Result: Nothing identifies a client without their written agreement.

  4. A reply routine

    An owner for comments and messages, with a first question to ask a new contact.

    Result: A reply is the start of an enquiry.

  5. A page and profile clean-up

    Company page wording, banner and services section corrected to say what you clear and where.

    Result: A visitor sees an agent who handles their kind of job.

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

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

    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.

  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 a reply, a follow-up, a page, a listing 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.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need
Should we post every day?
Post when you have something worth a trader's attention. A steady, modest rhythm that you can keep up is better than a burst that stops. We do not promise reach or followers.
Can we share customs circulars?
Yes, with a link to the authority's own notice and a careful, general note on what it means. Avoid telling readers what to do about their own shipment; invite them to ask you instead.
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.
