Agricultural seed companies · Social media

Put your crop on the phone a farmer already forwards to the village group.

Social media marketing for a seed company is short field video and crop photographs, shared where farmers and dealers already talk, mainly WhatsApp groups, YouTube and Facebook. GullySales plans what to film at each crop stage, in which language, and who forwards it.

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 agricultural seed companies

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

  • “The video that travels is shot in a field that looks like the viewer's”

    A polished studio clip is scrolled past. A standing crop on a plot two villages away, with a farmer talking about spacing in the local dialect, is forwarded to the group. Hold the camera at the height of the plants, not above them, and let the farmer finish speaking.

  • “The dealer is the first audience”

    A dealer who receives a clean video of your hybrid can forward it to the customers who asked. Make content the dealer can send in one tap, with the name of the variety in the first frame.

  • “A crop has stages, and each stage is a post”

    Sowing, germination, flowering, grain fill and harvest each give a reason to post. Skipping them leaves the page silent while the crop is standing in the field and the farmer is looking. A post at each stage also gives the dealer a fresh reason to message customers during the season.

  • “Platform rules change”

    Reach, ad formats and group limits shift. Check each platform's current rules before planning a campaign, and do not build the season around one feature that can disappear. Keep a copy of every video outside the platform, so a changed rule never erases the season's work.

What we do

What we deliver for agricultural seed companies.

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

  1. Crop-stage content calendar

    A plan of what to film at each stage of each crop, tied to the sowing window of the district.

    Result: A calendar showing the crop, the stage and the language of each post.

  2. Field video shoots

    Short clips on demonstration plots and dealer-recommended farms, with the agronomist and a local farmer on camera.

    Result: Videos shot in fields that match your dealers' territories.

  3. Dealer forwarding kit

    A set of ready videos and images with captions, sent to each dealer by WhatsApp to pass to customers.

    Result: Every dealer holds the same set to forward.

  4. YouTube channel in district languages

    A channel with playlists by crop and language, titled the way farmers search.

    Result: A farmer can find the crop playlist in their own language.

  5. Comment and message reply routine

    Questions on posts answered by a named person, with serious ones passed to the agronomist.

    Result: Each question has an answer or an owner.

  6. Ads aimed at dealer districts

    Video ads shown to farmers in districts where a dealer stocks the hybrid.

    Result: Ad spend matches the dealer map.

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

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

    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.

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.

Which platform matters first for seed?
WhatsApp and YouTube are where farmers share crop videos in India, with Facebook reaching further. Ask a handful of dealers which groups their customers use before deciding. The answer differs by crop and district.
Can we show yield or income on a post?
Only what your own trial records and label support, and without implying a result a farmer will get. Rules on seed claims differ by state, so have your seed certification office or adviser read the post first.
Who should appear on camera?
A local farmer who grew the crop and the company agronomist are the strongest pair. Get a written yes from anyone filmed, and do not use a farmer's face in an ad without that consent.
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.
