Textile manufacturers · Social media

A ten-second drape video answers what a photograph cannot.

Social media for a textile manufacturer is short video of fabric moving, and a presence in front of merchandisers on LinkedIn. GullySales sets the filming routine on the floor, builds a WhatsApp catalogue by construction, and keeps buyers' developments off the feed.

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.

Sales and marketing for textile manufacturers, the overview.

For textile manufacturers

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

  • “Fabric has to be seen moving”

    Drape, hand feel and the way a twill falls are why a merchandiser asks for a hanger. A flat photograph shows none of it.

  • “The merchandiser is on LinkedIn, the designer is on Instagram”

    Two buyers inside the same company, looking for different things, and most mills post the same picture to both.

  • “Posting a buyer's development can cost you the account”

    The garment you helped develop is their season. Putting it online before the launch breaks what you signed.

What we do

What we deliver for textile manufacturers.

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

  1. A filming routine on the floor

    Drape, hand feel, a loom running and a lab test, shot on a phone the same way during an ordinary shift.

    Result: Posting stops needing a photographer.

  2. A WhatsApp catalogue arranged by construction

    Your range loaded as a business catalogue with counts, weights and MOQ, so a buyer on a phone can look through it.

    Result: An enquiry starts from the right fabric.

  3. A LinkedIn plan aimed at merchandisers and buying houses

    Posts about capability, certification and development, written for somebody who sources fabric rather than somebody who wears it.

    Result: The right people watch the mill working.

  4. A permission rule for buyer work

    A written rule on what may be shown from a development and who signs it off, kept where whoever posts can see it.

    Result: Nothing confidential goes up by accident.

  5. Fair week posting prepared in advance

    Stall photographs, new developments and a post each day of the fair, written before anybody leaves for the airport.

    Result: Buyers who missed the stall still see the range.

  6. A count of enquiries per platform

    Which platform produced which enquiry each month, so whichever one produces nothing gets dropped.

    Result: Filming time follows the enquiries.

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.

Platform for this buyer

Where fabric buyers look, and what a mill posts on each platform.

LinkedIn for merchandisers and buying houses
Post one fabric with its construction, count, GSM, width and finish, and a close photograph of the weave. The action is to request a swatch with the quality name and quantity.
WhatsApp swatch catalogue
Arrange the catalogue by construction: poplin, twill, jersey, canvas. Send the swatch card to a buyer only after they ask. The action is to reply with the quality they want.
Instagram reels and YouTube of fabric moving
Film the fabric draping, the hand-feel test and the loom running, with no buyer labels in frame. The action is to message for a swatch card.
Trade fair posts
Post your hall and stand number before the fair, and new collections on the day. The action is to book a time at the stand. Add the fair's own tag if it has one.
What not to post
A buyer's label or developed fabric, price per metre, a purchase order or tag showing a buyer's name, and workers' faces without consent. Show only certificates that are current and in your name.

Who it is for

This is written for these textile manufacturers.

  • Yarn spinning mills
  • Fabric weaving and processing units
  • Garment fabric manufacturers
  • Home textile manufacturers
  • Technical and industrial textile makers
  • Export-oriented manufacturing units
  • Private label and job-work manufacturers
  • Knitwear and hosiery manufacturers

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • The fabrics are developed for named buyers who have not agreed to any display, so there is little you may post.
  • Nobody on the team can take a steady drape video or swatch photograph, and the feed would carry poor images of good cloth.
  • You wish to post the swatch card openly, though the same qualities are quoted to buyers at different rates.

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 fabric we developed for a buyer?
Not without asking. A development is their season and most agreements cover it. Post your own constructions and general capability, and put the request in writing when you want to show anything else.
Is Instagram any use for a mill?
For home textiles and fashion fabric, yes, because designers browse there. For technical textiles it does almost nothing. Put those hours into LinkedIn and the WhatsApp catalogue instead.
How do we share the swatch card on WhatsApp without it being forwarded to competitors?
You cannot fully stop forwarding. Send swatch details only to buyers you know, mark the message as for that buyer, and keep your exclusive developments off public lists. Share only the quality, not the exact recipe. Ask buyers in writing not to forward.
Can we post our GOTS or OEKO-TEX certificate?
Only if the certificate is current, in your own name and covers the products you show. Check the certifying body's rules on how the logo and number may be used. Never show it for a fabric outside the scope, and take the post down when the certificate lapses.
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.
