Sand and aggregate suppliers · Social media

Show the yard, the tipper and the load where builders already scroll.

Social media marketing for a sand and aggregate supplier means posting the proof of a working yard where builders, engineers and contractors spend their evenings. GullySales works on what to post, which platform suits which buyer and how a comment becomes 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 sand and aggregate suppliers

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

  • “A builder judges a supplier by the yard, not the slogan”

    A short clip of a tipper loading 20 mm jelly says more than a poster. Buyers want to see clean stacks, graded material and a truck that looks maintained, because that is what will arrive at the site.

  • “Facebook and WhatsApp status reach the older contractor”

    The contractor who has run sites for years is on WhatsApp and Facebook and rarely elsewhere. LinkedIn suits the younger engineer or the plant buyer. One post does not fit both, and the supplier should choose where each audience is.

  • “A rate post invites price comparison, not loyalty”

    Posting a rate and nothing else turns every follower into a shopper. Posts about grading, stacking, loading and delivery record show why your rate is what it is.

  • “A comment is a lead only if someone reads it”

    A builder who comments asking for a rate in a town and gets no reply has seen how the yard answers. Comments and messages need a person and a time to answer them.

What we do

What we deliver for sand and aggregate suppliers.

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

  1. A post plan around real yard activity

    Posts built from loading, stacking, grade checks and delivery, planned a few at a time.

    Result: The owner knows what is going on each platform and why.

  2. Short clips shot on a phone

    A simple routine for filming a tipper loading or a stack being graded, with a caption naming the material.

    Result: Posts show real work, filmed at the yard.

  3. A builder showcase with permission

    Site photographs of delivered loads, posted only when the builder agrees.

    Result: Builders see peers ordering from you.

  4. A reply routine for comments and messages

    A rule on who answers and what the first line says, with the order number in the reply.

    Result: Comments reach the order register.

  5. A page bio with order details

    A clear profile with the materials, area and the number to order on.

    Result: A visitor finds how to order in the first screen.

How the result is measured

  • Posts published
  • Engagement rate
  • Enquiries from social profiles

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 should a small supplier choose?
Choose the one where your builders already message you. For local contractors that means WhatsApp and Facebook, with a profile on Instagram only if you can post there.
Can I run ads on social media?
You can, aimed at the towns you deliver to. Check the platform's current rules and set the area so the ad does not reach sites you cannot serve.
Is it worth posting the day's rate?
Post a dated rate sparingly. A post about quality or reliability brings a buyer who stays, while a rate post brings a comparison.
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.
