Carpet stores · Social media
A rug under a real sofa shows scale and colour better than any catalogue page.
Social media marketing for a carpet store is showing your rugs and carpets in real rooms on Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest so buyers can judge size and colour before visiting. GullySales works on the posts, the captions and the route from a post to a WhatsApp 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 carpet stores
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“A flat-lay rug photo hides what the buyer wants to know”
A rug laid on a shop floor shows pattern but not scale. The buyer asks how big it looks under a sofa. A photo in a living room, with furniture the viewer recognises, answers before the question is asked.
“Captions without sizes create the same questions every time”
Staff reply to the same comment again and again asking size and price. A caption that carries the size in feet, the material and a price band cuts the repeated reply and moves the conversation to the room.
“Reels of unrolling a rug hold attention”
A rug being unrolled across a floor has a built-in reveal. Short videos of the unroll, the pile close-up and the rug beside a sofa give the viewer scale, texture and colour in a few seconds.
“A post gets saved, not bought”
Home decor viewers save a rug for later and nothing follows. A line inviting them to send the room photo on WhatsApp, with a clear number to message, turns a saved post into a conversation.
What we do
What we deliver for carpet stores.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
Post plan by room and season
A list of post ideas by room, festival and weather, with the stock to feature in each.
Result: A plan you can post from without inventing ideas.
Photo and reel shot list
A list of angles for each rug: full room, close pile, unroll, and size reference against a known object.
Result: A shot list your staff can follow at the showroom.
Caption template with size and material
A fixed pattern giving name, size in feet, material and price band, with a WhatsApp prompt at the end.
Result: Captions that answer the first three buyer questions.
Save-to-chat route
A link or message prompt taking viewers from a post to a WhatsApp conversation with a named staff member.
Result: A route you can count from post to chat.
Designer showcase posts
Posts crediting interior designers who used your rugs, with their permission.
Result: A set of posts that speak to the designer audience.

How it works
From your first message to the first report.
No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.
First
Your brief
You tell us what you need in a few short steps: your business, what you want, where enquiries come from and how they are handled.
After the brief
A conversation and a written scope
We read it, then talk with whoever handles your enquiries. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come in writing, and nothing starts before you have read them.
Before work starts
Baseline recorded
The numbers this work is meant to move, such as enquiries, quotations, orders, visits or renewals, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.
After the baseline
The first fix goes live
The fix we agreed to start with is put in place and measured against the baseline, whether that is a reply, a follow-up, a page, a listing or the handover between marketing and sales.
As agreed
Report against the baseline
What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words. How often you get it is set in writing before work starts.
At renewal
Renew on the numbers
The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. The length is agreed in writing before anything starts.
How the social media work runs

A plan is created, balancing genuine value with occasional direct offers.

Why us
Why owners pick GullySales over an agency.
Marketing and sales, as one job
Most agencies stop at the enquiry. We also fix what happens after it: the reply, the follow-up, the quote and the CRM.
The person on the first call does the work
No account managers in between. You are never handed to someone you have not met.
A baseline before anything starts
Your numbers are written down on day one, so every later report compares against something honest.
The fee in writing, split three ways
Our time, your media spend and production on separate lines. You always see what goes to us.
No guarantees we cannot keep
The term is agreed in writing and never a default twelve months. We never promise a ranking or a lead count, because nobody controls those.
One office, and we say so
Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru. We work across India by call and WhatsApp and travel when a session needs to be in person.
#257, 3rd floor, Sri Nanjundeshwara Complex, Nagarbhavi 8th Block, Outer Ring Road. How we work.
