Industrial machinery distributors · Social media

Show the machine running, the engineer arriving and the factory that bought it.

Social media for a machinery distributor means short, honest proof that machines work and that service turns up, shown to factory owners, production heads and the people who advise them. GullySales works on what to post, who sees it and how a comment becomes a conversation.

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 industrial machinery distributors

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

  • “LinkedIn reaches the advisers”

    Process consultants, plant designers and bank officers sit on LinkedIn, and they influence the machine a new unit buys. A post that shows an installation and names the job the machine does is something they can pass on.

  • “A video of a running machine does the demonstration”

    A buyer may not travel to see the machine. A clear clip of the machine at work, with the part it makes and the operator's voice, answers the first question a plant owner asks.

  • “Commissioning day is content”

    An engineer fitting a machine, a training session with operators and a handover to the owner show the service the brochure only promises. Ask the customer first and post what they agree to.

  • “Posting without a next step wastes the audience”

    A reel that ends with no phone route or form leaves interest with nowhere to go. Every post should say who to message and what to ask for.

What we do

What we deliver for industrial machinery distributors.

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

  1. A post plan by audience

    A plan separating posts for factory owners, consultants and bank officers, each tied to a machine type you sell.

    Result: Each post has a named reader and a call to action.

  2. Machine-in-use video guidance

    A shot list and a short script for filming a machine at a customer site with consent.

    Result: A clip exists for each machine you want to show.

  3. Customer permission note

    A one-page consent form for filming and naming an installation.

    Result: Consent is recorded before a post goes out.

  4. Comment and message routing

    A rule for who answers a comment or direct message, and where the enquiry is logged.

    Result: Every social enquiry appears on the enquiry sheet with its source.

  5. Profile set-up

    LinkedIn, YouTube and Facebook pages with the correct name, a service area and a route to the offer team.

    Result: Each profile carries a working contact route.

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.

Who it is for

This is written for these industrial machinery distributors.

  • CNC machine tool distributors
  • Compressor, blower and air system dealers
  • Plastic injection moulding and extrusion machine distributors
  • Packaging and filling machine suppliers
  • Welding, cutting and fabrication machinery dealers
  • Textile and garment machinery agents
  • Woodworking and printing machinery distributors
  • Used and refurbished machine traders and spare parts specialists

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • Plants will not allow photographs on the shop floor, and you have nothing else to show
  • Nobody checks messages and comments from the page, so a buyer's question would sit unanswered
  • Your buyers do not use the platforms and you have no sign they follow your page

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

    Confirm audience, platforms and access

    We note which platforms your buyers use and check that the pages sit under your own business accounts, with you as owner and us as added roles.

  2. 2

    Review the current presence

    We read the existing pages, the posts that drew replies and the gaps in posting.

  3. 3

    Build the calendar

    Themes, formats and dates are set out for your approval, with space for offers and news.

  4. 4

    Create, approve and publish

    Posts are made, approved by you and scheduled. Replies to the public are handled in your voice.

  5. 5

    Record enquiries and adjust

    Enquiries are logged against the post or platform where they began, and the mix changes to follow what brings them.

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 should a machinery dealer start with?
Start where your buyers and their advisers are. For a machinery dealer that means LinkedIn and YouTube, with a WhatsApp number on every post. Check each platform's current rules for business accounts and advertising.
Can we show a customer's factory?
Only with their written agreement. Some owners dislike competitors seeing their layout. Offer an anonymised write-up where a name cannot be used.
Is paid social worth it for a machine bought once in years?
It can keep your name in front of a long buying cycle, but the buyer is rare and the budget should be modest. Judge it by enquiries logged, not likes.
What should we avoid showing about a customer's plant?
Avoid customer names, product drawings, part numbers and production figures unless the plant agrees in writing. A factory floor can reveal a process the owner guards. Offer to blur backgrounds, and keep consent on record beside each post.
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.
