Industry clusters · Social media
Show the town at work, so a buyer scrolling past meets the cluster before a unit.
Social media marketing for an industry cluster means posting from the workshops, the common facility centre and the fairs under one name, so buyers and the next generation of makers follow the town. GullySales sets up the cluster's accounts, a posting plan from real shop-floor material and rules for what units may share.
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 industry clusters
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Process footage sells to a trader better than a finished photo”
A buyer sees a lathe turning a part or a loom setting up a pattern and understands the skill. Short clips from named workshops, shot with the owner's permission, show capacity in a way a catalogue cannot.
“One account with ten voices confuses followers”
When every unit posts to the cluster page in its own style, followers see a noticeboard. A small set of post types, such as a workshop visit, a fair stall or a certificate, keeps the account readable.
“The younger family members already use these apps”
The owner's son or daughter posts to a personal account and knows the platforms. Giving them a brief for the cluster account puts that habit to work for the town.
“A sample posted without a source invites copying”
A design shown in full can be taken by a rival unit or another cluster. The posting rule decides what is shown in detail, what is shown in part, and which items are kept for buyers who ask.
What we do
What we deliver for industry clusters.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
Cluster account set-up
Accounts for the cluster on the platforms its buyers use, with one name, one description and a link to the cluster page.
Result: Accounts that carry the same name and link everywhere.
Post types and sample calendar
A short list of repeatable posts, such as workshop visit, product spotlight, fair stall and certificate, with a sample calendar.
Result: A calendar the cluster body can follow without inventing posts each time.
Photograph and clip brief
A one-page guide for units on shooting a product and a process, with framing, light and consent for people in frame.
Result: A brief a unit owner or a family member can use on a phone.
Sharing rules for units
A rule on which units may tag the cluster, how the cluster mark may appear and what a post may not claim.
Result: A rule sheet the units sign or acknowledge.
Enquiry handling from social
A path for messages and comments to reach the cluster desk and be logged.
Result: Every social enquiry appears in the same log as a call or a form.
How the result is measured
- Posts published
- Engagement rate

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
Understand your audience and platforms
We identify which platforms your specific buyers actually use and what kind of content they respond to.
- 2
Audit current presence
We review existing pages, past content performance and any gaps in consistency.
- 3
Build the content calendar
A plan is created, balancing genuine value with occasional direct offers.
- 4
Implement and post
Content is created and published consistently on the agreed schedule.
- 5
Measure and optimise
We track enquiries alongside engagement and adjust the content mix based on what actually performs.
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.
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.
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.
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.
