Stationery stores · Social media

Post what is on the shelf this week, in the words students and parents use.

Social media marketing for a stationery shop is a handful of honest posts about stock, kits, craft ideas and print jobs, shown to people who live near the shop. GullySales works on what to post, in what form, and what to ask of a viewer.

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 stationery stores

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

  • “The shelf is the content”

    A stationery shop already holds colourful, photogenic material. A shot of foam sheets in a rack or a finished project on the counter does more than a festival greeting that every shop posts.

  • “Parents scroll for the list, students scroll for ideas”

    The two audiences want different things. A parent wants class-wise kits and a price on WhatsApp. A student wants project ideas and the material to make them. One post cannot serve both, so the plan splits them.

  • “A post with no next step is wasted”

    Someone likes a picture of a colour set and moves on. A line that says message the class and the list for a ready kit turns the like into an enquiry that lands where staff will see it.

What we do

What we deliver for stationery stores.

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

  1. A plan built around the school year

    A calendar of posts keyed to reopening, project season, exam time and festivals, based on when your shop is busy.

    Result: The year has posts ready before each rush.

  2. Short videos of project ideas

    Simple clips of one craft or chart made with items you stock, with the shelf shown at the end.

    Result: A student sees what to build and where to buy it.

  3. Posts for kit bundles by class

    Clear pictures and lists of kit bundles for each class, with an order route through WhatsApp.

    Result: A parent can see the bundle before asking.

  4. A reply routine for comments and messages

    A person and a set of wordings for comments, direct messages and tags, so nothing waits.

    Result: Every message has an owner.

  5. A read of what drew enquiries

    A look at which posts led to a message or a visit, using your counter record.

    Result: You know which posts to repeat.

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.

Your brief

Tell us what you need, and we will read it before we call.

Eight short steps about your business, what you want and who decides. Most questions are a tap, and you can skip any you would rather answer on the call.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Which platform should a stationery shop use?
Start with the one your buyers already use: Instagram for students, WhatsApp for parents. We check where your enquiries come from before choosing.
Do we need to post every day?
No. A steady few posts about real stock beat a flood of greetings. We set a pace the counter staff can keep.
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.
