Surface treatment companies · Social media

Show the tank, the rack and the finished lot to engineers who rarely see them.

Social media marketing for a surface treatment company is the use of business networks and short video to show your process to the engineers and purchase managers who specify it. GullySales works on what you post, who sees it and how a viewer reaches 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 surface treatment companies

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

  • “Engineers see the result, never the process”

    A designer who specifies black anodising may never have seen a rack lowered into a tank. Showing the line, the rinse and the inspection makes the process real and makes you the shop that explains it.

  • “A confidential part cannot be posted”

    Your best work may belong to a defence-linked or electronics buyer who forbids photographs. Posts have to work from a neutral sample panel, the tank, the rack and the packed carton, with nothing that identifies a client.

  • “The audience is small and specific”

    A few hundred design engineers, quality heads and fabricators in your region matter more than a large following. A professional network suits this better than a general feed built for consumers.

  • “A post with no next step wastes the view”

    An engineer who watches a passivation clip and finds no process page, form or contact route moves on. Each post should lead to the page for that process.

What we do

What we deliver for surface treatment companies.

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

  1. A post plan around your processes

    A set of post ideas for each process: the rack, the bath, the finish, the inspection, the packing.

    Result: A list of posts you can shoot on a normal working day.

  2. A sample panel for photography

    A set of neutral test panels in your colours and finishes that can be photographed without a client part.

    Result: Photographs that carry no confidential work.

  3. Short clips of the line

    Brief video of the work, with your technical person explaining one step in plain words.

    Result: Clips that show a process the way you run it.

  4. A professional network profile

    A company page and a profile for the technical head, with processes, alloys and region stated.

    Result: A page an engineer can read to know what you treat.

  5. Links from each post to its process page

    Every post ends at the matching page or the enquiry form.

    Result: A viewer who wants more has one place to go.

  6. A note on what to leave unposted

    A short list of what stays off the feed: client names, drawings, part numbers and any claim you cannot document.

    Result: A rule your team can apply before posting.

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 be on every platform?
No. A professional network and a video platform for the line suit this trade. Others are optional. We pick the ones your buyers use and drop the rest.
How do we post without breaching confidentiality?
By using neutral sample panels and showing the process rather than the customer's part. Names, drawings and part numbers stay out unless you hold written permission.
Does a follower count matter?
Less than who follows. Fifty design engineers in your region are worth more than a large audience elsewhere, and we judge the work by the enquiries it earns.
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.
