Pharmaceutical distributors · Social media

Use social channels to stay in front of the trade, and never to advertise medicines.

Social media for a pharmaceutical distributor means a professional presence that shows the business to chemists, hospitals and company managers. GullySales works on trade-safe posts about facilities, service and team, written within what your adviser allows.

Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

Pharmaceutical distributors: show a real physical business scene illustrating Batch and expiry stock. Hold stock by item, batch, expiry and warehouse, and offer the earliest-dated batch first at billing unless the counter deliberately picks another one.

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 pharmaceutical distributors

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

  • “The audience is the trade, so the posts are too”

    A page that shows a vehicle loaded for a route, a cold room or the packing team speaks to the people who might buy supply. A post about a medicine speaks to the public, and the rules for that differ by type of medicine and change.

  • “LinkedIn reaches the company side”

    Regional managers and area business managers look at who a stockist is before they recommend one. A page that shows the business, its facilities and its people gives them something to read, where a bare phone number gives them nothing.

  • “A staff member posting on their own account”

    A delivery supervisor or salesman may share a photo with a product on it. Without a simple written guide, the business discovers it only when someone complains, so staff need one page that says what to share and what to leave out.

What we do

What we deliver for pharmaceutical distributors.

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

  1. A trade-only posting guide

    A one-page guide for staff and the owner that lists what may be shown and what stays off, checked with your adviser.

    Result: Anyone on the team can tell if a post is acceptable.

  2. A company-profile page

    A professional page with facilities, coverage and team, written as trade information.

    Result: A manager checking your name finds a clear profile.

  3. A bank of facility photographs

    Pictures of godown, vehicles, cold room and dispatch, with captions.

    Result: The owner has ready material for posts.

  4. A posting plan for the owner

    A short list of post types for the owner to choose from, such as an area added or a new facility.

    Result: The owner posts from a list instead of inventing ideas.

  5. Comment and message handling notes

    A short script for patients who write in, pointing them to their own chemist.

    Result: Staff have a reply ready.

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.

Posts and pieces to plan

Posts that keep the trade informed without advertising medicines.

A look inside the godown
Shelving, labelling and stock handling shown with staff consent. It tells a company manager you run a tidy store, and names no products.
Delivery rounds by area
A plain post listing the areas covered and the order cut-off, so a chemist knows when to call.
A company's territory appointment
A LinkedIn note announcing a stockist appointment, worded only as the company has agreed in writing.
How returns and expiry claims are handled
A short explainer for chemists describing the documents needed, drawn from your real practice.
Meet the order desk
First names and roles of the staff who take calls, posted with consent, so the trade knows who answers.

Who it is for

This is written for these pharmaceutical distributors.

  • General pharma stockists supplying chemists across a city
  • Company-appointed C&F and redistribution stockists
  • Hospital and institutional medicine suppliers
  • Cold-chain stockists for vaccines, insulin and biologics
  • Ayurveda and herbal medicine distributors
  • Surgical and OTC range distributors serving chemists
  • Generic medicine suppliers to retail and institutional buyers
  • Veterinary medicine distributors serving animal clinics

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • The post would show a medicine or a price offer, which a stockist should not publish to the public.
  • Nobody has the owner's agreement on who may post on the page and in whose name.
  • You have no photographs of the godown that you are comfortable publishing.

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
Can we post offers on medicines?
No offers or prices aimed at the public. Trade terms go to chemists directly, by call or message. Rules on promotion differ by profession and state, so check with your own council or adviser.
Which channel suits a stockist?
LinkedIn reaches company managers, and a WhatsApp business profile reaches chemists. A public page on other channels is for completeness and for showing the business is real, not for selling.
Who should run the page?
Someone on your team who can reply promptly and knows the rules you have agreed. We write the guide and the first posts, and your staff keep the page current.
Can the page post the companies we represent?
Only with the company's written permission, and in its approved wording. Rules on how medicine companies may be mentioned differ, so check with your adviser. A neutral post about your territory and facilities carries less risk.
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.
