Gift shops · Social media
Post the gift, the price range and the way to order in the same frame.
Social media marketing for a gift shop is using Instagram and Facebook to show gifts before an occasion and turn a like into a message. GullySales works on the posts, the order route and the calendar of dates behind them.
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 gift shops
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“A like is not an order”
People double-tap a beautiful hamper and scroll on. If the post gives no price range and no way to message, the interest dies on the screen. A gift post has to carry the next step inside it.
“Posting after the occasion is posting too late”
A Rakhi post on the morning of the festival reaches buyers who bought last week. The useful post goes up while the buyer is still deciding, which means the calendar must run ahead of the date.
“Reels of wrapping and packing sell the work”
Buyers trust a shop that shows the gift being made, the name being printed and the box being tied. Those short clips answer the worry of whether the gift will look as promised.
“Comments and messages are the shop counter”
A question under a post is a buyer standing at the counter. Left unanswered, it sends them to the next account. Replies, including to simple questions about price, belong in the shop's routine.
What we do
What we deliver for gift shops.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A calendar of gifting dates
Every occasion that matters to the shop mapped against the lead time a buyer needs, so posts go up in time.
Result: Posts appear before the buyer decides.
A post format that carries price and route
A fixed layout showing the gift, the price range, the personalisation option and how to message.
Result: Each post tells the buyer what to do next.
Short clips of the work
Plans for reels showing printing, wrapping and delivery, filmed on the shop's own phone or by a producer quoted separately in writing.
Result: The feed shows the gift being made.
A reply routine for comments and messages
Written answers for common questions about price, delivery and personalisation, and a person named to send them.
Result: Questions on the page get an answer.
Results read against your baseline
Messages, saves and orders traced to the posts and compared with the figures recorded before the work started.
Result: You see which posts led to orders.
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
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
- 1
Understand your audience and platforms
We identify which platforms your specific buyers actually use and what kind of content they respond to.
- 2
Audit current presence
We review existing pages, past content performance and any gaps in consistency.
- 3
Build the content calendar
A plan is created, balancing genuine value with occasional direct offers.
- 4
Implement and post
Content is created and published consistently on the agreed schedule.
- 5
Measure and optimise
We track enquiries alongside engagement and adjust the content mix based on what actually performs.
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.
