Plywood and timber dealers · Social media

The carpenter group is the channel, and Instagram reaches the designer.

Social media for a depot is two audiences with nothing in common: carpenters in WhatsApp groups wanting stock and rates, and designers on Instagram wanting to see a veneer matched. GullySales sets the routine for both and writes the rule on posting rates in a public group.

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 plywood and timber dealers

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

  • “A rate posted in a group reaches your competitor first”

    Every depot on the road sits in that same group, and a rate put up on Monday is being undercut by Tuesday afternoon.

  • “A veneer being matched is the post designers watch”

    Two leaves opened out on the cutting table, grain lined up. That is the one thing in this trade worth filming.

  • “A carpenter checks the group before he checks the shop”

    Stock and new arrivals posted on a fixed day save him a trip, and a depot that posts nothing is the one he stops visiting.

What we do

What we deliver for plywood and timber dealers.

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

  1. Carpenter and designer groups run on a schedule

    Separate lists with a fixed posting day, one for stock and rates to the trade, one for ranges and finishes to designers.

    Result: The trade knows when to look.

  2. A rule on which rates go out in public

    Which prices may be posted to a group, which go only in a direct message, and who is allowed to post at all.

    Result: You stop handing your rates to the road.

  3. Short videos from the cutting table

    Veneer matching, a laminate being pressed, seasoned timber being sized, filmed in under a minute on a working day.

    Result: Designers see craft instead of a price list.

  4. New arrival posts for laminates and veneers

    A routine for photographing and posting every new range the day it lands, with the catalogue code written into the caption.

    Result: Designers know your ranges before the showroom's.

  5. Finished interiors posted with the designer named

    Photographs of completed kitchens and wardrobes, shared with credit to the designer and the carpenter who did the work.

    Result: Your referrers get something they want to share.

  6. Enquiries traced back to the group or the feed

    A note of which enquiries came from a group message or a post, set against the position before the routine started.

    Result: You can tell whether the posting earns.

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.

Platform for this buyer

Where carpenters and designers decide on a depot, and what to post.

Carpenter WhatsApp groups
Post what arrived today: brand, grade and thickness of ply, with a photograph of the stack. Ask carpenters to message for the rate rather than listing it in the group.
Instagram reels for designers
Show a veneer or laminate matched against a sample, a cut sheet and an edge-banded piece. A designer saves it and sends the sample request on WhatsApp.
YouTube for homeowners on grade
Explain how to tell BWR, BWP and MR grades apart, what the ISI mark and the maker's batch code mean, and why a thick sheet is not always better. Show the stamp on a real sheet.
Google Business Profile photographs
Show the depot, the stack yard and the cutting area, and list the brands you are authorised to sell, naming only those you hold. A homeowner standing outside wants to see the stock.
What not to post
Do not post a brand you are not authorised for, a competitor's price or a claim that a sheet is fireproof or termite proof without the maker's test paper. Check the brand's own advertising terms.

How it works

From your first message to the first report.

No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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. 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.

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.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need
Should we post rates in the carpenter group?
Post stock and arrivals there, and keep rates to direct messages. Every competing depot sits in that group. A rate on the screen on Monday is a rate somebody undercuts on Tuesday.
Is Instagram useful for a plywood dealer?
For laminates, veneers and finished timber work, yes, because designers look there. For shuttering ply and commercial sheets it does nothing. Post what a designer would want to save, and leave the rest alone.
A carpenter posts our stock in his own group. Is that fine?
Welcome it, with a rule: he shares only photographs and prices you sent that day. Old rates travel in a group long after they stop being true. Ask him to send a fresh message when stock or price changes, and check the group now and then for stale ones.
Can we post finished interiors that used our material?
Yes, with the designer or carpenter named and their agreement. Keep the homeowner's name and address out. A named carpenter shares the post with his own clients, which brings the next carpenter to you, so ask before posting and tag with care.
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.
