3D printing service bureaus · Social media
Let a print timelapse do the work a brochure never managed.
Social media marketing for a 3D printing bureau is the use of short videos, part photographs and engineer-friendly posts to keep designers and students aware of you between jobs. GullySales plans what to post, in your voice, and connects posts to a clear way to send a file.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.
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 3D printing service bureaus
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The product is visual and few bureaus show it”
A part coming off a plate, a resin model washed and cured, a gear in motion all make good short videos. Yet the feed is a repeated rate card. The work is the content.
“Different audiences follow different platforms”
Engineers and founders look on LinkedIn, students and hobbyists on Instagram, makers on YouTube. One post copied everywhere reaches nobody properly. Pick the places where your target buyers already look.
“Customer parts are confidential”
A designer's prototype is not yours to post. Own samples, test prints and approved case photos give you material to show without breaking trust. Ask for written permission and record it.
“A post with no next step wastes the attention”
Someone who admires a lattice print wants to know if you can make theirs. Each post should say what file types you take and where to send them, in plain words.
What we do
What we deliver for 3D printing service bureaus.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A content plan built on your machines
A list of post ideas for each process, such as before and after support removal, finishing steps and material comparisons.
Result: The team knows what to film for each machine.
A shoot routine for the workshop
Simple steps for lighting and filming a part on a phone, so the team can record a print without a studio.
Result: Clips look consistent and can be made by the staff.
Platform-specific posts
The same part told one way for LinkedIn and another for Instagram, with the call to send a file adapted for each.
Result: Each platform gets a post suited to its audience.
A permissions note for customer work
A one-page form that records what a customer allows you to show.
Result: You can prove you had consent for any part posted.
A response routine for comments and messages
Short answers to common questions about material, finish and file type, ready for the team to use.
Result: Comments get a useful reply and a route to quote.

How it works
From your first message to the first report.
No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
