Women's development NGOs · Social media
Show the women's work on social media, with consent recorded before every photograph.
Social media marketing for a women's development NGO is the regular posting of products, programme updates and appeals on the platforms its buyers and supporters use. Each post carries the question of who appears in it and whether they agreed. GullySales works on the plan, the post formats and the consent rule that sits behind both.
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 women's development NGOs
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“A photograph posted in celebration can be dangerous later”
A woman proud of a first order agrees to a photo today. A year on, circumstances at home change, and the picture is still circulating with a name and a village. Consent has to be revocable, and the NGO needs a way to take posts down.
“Products sell when the maker is credited and the price is shown”
A post that says only that women made these bags earns warm comments and no orders. A post with the item, the price, the minimum and where to message turns an admirer into a buyer, and credits the group rather than a single face.
“The platform that suits the audience is not the same for every programme”
Gifting buyers look at Instagram and LinkedIn, village supporters share on WhatsApp and Facebook, and funders read longer updates on email. Posting everywhere in the same way wastes the coordinator's evenings and reaches none of them well.
What we do
What we deliver for women's development NGOs.
The work available for this need. We agree the deliverables and responsibilities for your engagement in writing.
A consent and image rule for every post
A one-page rule on who can be named, shown or described, how consent is recorded, and how a woman withdraws it.
Result: Each post is checked against the rule before it goes out.
A post plan across products, programmes and appeals
A calendar that rotates product posts, programme updates and festival offers, with the ask clearly different in each.
Result: The calendar shows which post carries which ask.
Product post templates
A simple layout with photo, item, price, minimum and the way to order, so a coordinator can post without a designer.
Result: A product post contains the five details a buyer needs.
Festival and Women's Day campaign posts
Post sets for gifting seasons and awareness days, drafted with the order cut-off dates the women have agreed.
Result: Each campaign has dated posts and a stated cut-off.
A take-down routine
A named person and a short procedure for removing any post or image on request.
Result: A woman's request leads to a removal by a named person.
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.
Posts and pieces to plan
Plan posts that show the work and keep the women safe.
- A product and its maker's craft
- The product, the technique and the group's name. Use a hands-only photograph if a maker prefers, and record the maker's consent for any named credit.
- A training day with consent recorded
- Photographs from a class only for learners who agreed in writing, with the purpose stated. Others sit out of frame.
- Process of making an order
- Cutting, stitching or packing, shown without faces. Gives a buyer a sense of effort and time without exposing a person.
- An event notice for a stall or fair
- Date, venue and what will be sold. Needs a contact who is not a maker's personal phone.
- A method explainer for funders
- How savings, loans or training are run and recorded, in the organisation's words. Written from the programme file, with no individual stories.
- A safety information post
- How to reach the helpline, in the local language, with a number that has been checked. Reviewed by the counsellor before it goes up.
Who it is for
This is written for these women's development NGOs.
- Self-help group federations and microfinance-linked livelihood trusts
- Handicraft, textile and food enterprise collectives of women
- Shelters and counselling centres for women in distress
- Legal aid and domestic violence support organisations
- Menstrual health and adolescent girls' programmes
- Women farmers' and agricultural producer groups
- Skill and vocational training centres for women
- Anti-trafficking and rehabilitation organisations
Not for
It is not the right fit if.
- Consent for photographs has not been recorded, so every image would need to be held back.
- The page is run from a coordinator's personal phone, so posts and private messages would mix.
- The team wants survivor stories for reach, which can put women at risk and may breach confidence.
Before you decide
Agree the work. Know how to judge it.
Social media marketing for women's development NGOs: use these checks to prepare, choose the scope, and review what changes.
Bring the right evidence
Review the posts that produced useful conversations, not only the ones with the most views. Gather buyer questions and decide which team member can contribute credible material.
Make the scope clear
Choose the audience and channel before setting a posting volume. Agree who supplies material, approves posts, and handles messages, including complaints or questions the agency cannot answer.
Check the work in use
Follow a post through to the profile, website, and response. A useful report explains the quality of conversations and enquiries, alongside reach and engagement.
Know when to change course
If publishing takes time away from unanswered buyer messages, fix the response routine first. Do not expand to another channel without a clear reason for being there.
These are discussion points, not a fixed package. GullySales confirms the deliverables, responsibilities, fee, and term in writing after reading your brief and speaking with you.
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
Platform and access agreement
We confirm the audience and platforms covered, then check account ownership. You retain control of the pages and grant the access needed for the agreed work.
- 2
Content input handover
Your team supplies approved product information and usable images or footage. We review existing posts and agree who will answer factual questions during drafting.
- 3
Calendar approval
You review the proposed themes and response routes. Missing information is identified before posts enter production, rather than holding up a finished calendar.
- 4
Draft approval and publication
The named approver checks captions and creative files before scheduling. We also agree which replies can be sent directly and which need your team's decision.
- 5
Sales handover and content decisions
Buying questions go to the agreed sales contact with the conversation attached. Reported enquiries and sales feedback guide changes to the next calendar.
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.
