Social enterprises · Social media
Show the product being made and make it one tap to order.
Social media marketing for a social enterprise means using Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn and short video to show products, makers and orders in progress. GullySales works on what to post, how to credit the makers and how a viewer reaches an order.
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 social enterprises
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“A post that praises the cause gets praise”
Followers like and share a story about the collective and move on. A post that shows one product, its price band and how to order gives the same follower something to do.
“Makers must agree to be seen”
A producer's face on a page is a decision for that person. A written yes, a clear idea of where the image will be used and a right to change their mind come before any photograph is posted.
“LinkedIn reaches buyers, Instagram reaches shoppers”
HR heads and CSR leads look on LinkedIn, while gift buyers browse Instagram. One message copied to both places fits neither audience, so each platform needs its own angle.
“Comments and messages carry orders”
Some enquiries arrive as a direct message asking the price. If nobody owns the inbox, those messages wait and the buyer orders from a seller who replied.
What we do
What we deliver for social enterprises.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A content plan by buyer type
Post ideas for gift buyers, corporate teams and stockists, each linked to a product and an order route.
Result: A list of post themes mapped to who they are for.
A maker consent form and photo routine
A simple written consent for photographs, and a routine for taking them respectfully at the workplace.
Result: Every image of a person on your pages has written consent behind it.
Product posts with price band and order link
A post format that shows the item, a rate band, a minimum order and a way to ask.
Result: A viewer can move from post to enquiry in one step.
An inbox routine
A named person, a set of ready replies and a record of each message that turns into an enquiry.
Result: No message about price or stock is left without an owner.
A LinkedIn page for institutional buyers
Posts aimed at procurement, HR and CSR audiences, with supply terms and references you have cleared.
Result: A buyer who looks you up on LinkedIn finds a supplier, not just a story.

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.
