Product and industrial design studios · Social media

Show how a rough sketch becomes a part a toolmaker can cut.

Social media marketing for a product design studio is showing the thinking behind the finished product to people who buy design. GullySales plans what to post, where, and how a comment from a plant owner becomes a conversation.

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 product and industrial design studios

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

  • “Finished renders get praise and no calls”

    Likes come from designers. A buyer responds to the story behind the render: the constraint, the material choice, the toolmaker's note. Post the constraint, the material choice and the toolmaker's note, and the manufacturer sees a studio that understands production.

  • “LinkedIn reaches plant heads and founders”

    Instagram and Behance reach other designers and students. Choose the platform by the buyer you want, not the one where your work looks best. Choose the platform by the person you want to reach, and keep a lighter presence elsewhere for recruitment only.

  • “Unreleased work cannot be shown”

    A client's product may not be public. Posts about it need written permission, and some projects stay off until launch. Keep a list of what is cleared and what is held, and wait for the client's launch before showing anything new.

  • “Process content builds trust slowly”

    A sketch to prototype sequence shows how you think. It does not produce an enquiry the same day, and that is acceptable. Accept that a sequence of sketch, prototype and tooling note builds trust over time, and judge it by the conversations that follow.

What we do

What we deliver for product and industrial design studios.

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

  1. Process-led content plan

    Posts built from sketches, prototypes, tooling discussions and material trials, with the client's approval recorded.

    Result: Posts show how you work, not just what you made.

  2. Platform plan for buyers and peers

    LinkedIn for manufacturers and founders; a lighter presence for design communities if recruitment matters.

    Result: Each audience gets the right platform.

  3. Approval note for client work

    A short sheet recording what may be shown, from what date, and in what detail for each project.

    Result: No post goes live without clearance.

  4. Founder and designer voice

    Posts written in the voice of the principal designer explaining decisions, with GullySales drafting from your notes.

    Result: Buyers hear the person they will work with.

  5. Comment-to-conversation routine

    Who replies to a comment or message, what they ask next and where the enquiry is recorded.

    Result: Social interest reaches your enquiry list.

  6. Post-to-enquiry tracking

    A record of which posts were followed by a message, a profile visit from a target company or a meeting request.

    Result: You keep the subjects that start conversations.

  7. Employee and partner sharing

    A short note for your designers on how to share studio posts with their own contacts, with the clearance rules attached.

    Result: Posts reach the networks that already trust you.

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.

Do we need Instagram?
Only if you recruit designers or sell to consumer brands who browse there. For manufacturers and founders, LinkedIn carries more weight. We recommend by the buyer you want.
Can we show a prototype of an unreleased product?
Only with the client's written approval, and the safe default is to wait for launch. We keep a list of what is cleared and what is held back.
Will posts bring projects?
They build familiarity with the people who buy design. We do not promise projects from posts, and we note which posts preceded a real conversation. Do not promise results in captions; describe the work.
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.
