Sports equipment shops · Social media

Post what is on the shelf and who is playing with it.

Social media marketing for a sports shop is showing stock, fittings and local play in a way that gets a player or parent to message you. GullySales works on a post plan around the sports season, reel ideas shot at the counter and the replies that follow.

Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

Outdoor and sports goods stores: show a real physical business scene illustrating Item and variant master. Hold each product with its sizes, colours, brand, barcode and price, so every variant has its own stock count and the counter finds the size on the shelf.

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 sports equipment shops

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

  • “A new bat on a shelf is not a post yet”

    A product photo with a price gets a like. A short video of the shopkeeper explaining how to check the weight of a bat in the hand gets a message. Advice at the counter is the content that sets a sports shop apart.

  • “Local teams make better stories than brand pictures”

    A school team picking up its jerseys, or a local academy trying new rackets, gives followers faces they know. Ask for permission, tag the team, and the post travels through that team's own circle.

  • “Different platforms reach different buyers”

    Parents scroll Instagram and Facebook and message on WhatsApp. Teenagers watch short videos. Coaches share on WhatsApp groups. One post cut three ways reaches each, which is better than posting the same image everywhere.

  • “Comments and messages need a reply routine”

    A parent asks which size on a post and nobody answers by the next evening. By then they have bought elsewhere. Someone at the counter needs a set time to answer messages and a stock of standard replies.

What we do

What we deliver for sports equipment shops.

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

  1. A season calendar for posts

    A plan that ties post themes to school sports week, tournaments, new academy intakes and festivals.

    Result: A calendar showing what to post before each event.

  2. Counter-shot video ideas

    A list of short videos the staff can film: fitting a bat, choosing a shoe size, stringing a racket.

    Result: A list of videos to film in a quiet hour.

  3. Templates for stock and team posts

    Simple layouts for new arrivals, team kit deliveries and offers, in the shop's colours.

    Result: Posts built in minutes from a template.

  4. A reply sheet for comments and messages

    Standard answers for price, size, stock and delivery questions, with a line that invites a visit.

    Result: A staff member can reply without writing from scratch.

  5. A permission note for team photos

    A short message to ask coaches and parents before posting a child's photo.

    Result: A record that permission was asked.

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.

  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.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need
Which platform should a sports shop use first?
The one your buyers already message on. For a shop like yours that may be Instagram or Facebook for showing stock, with WhatsApp for replies. We look at where your enquiries come from before suggesting a mix.
Do we need to post every day?
A steady plan you can keep is better than a burst that stops. We set a rhythm the counter staff can maintain and plan extra posts for tournaments and school sports weeks.
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.
