Toy stores · Social media
Show the toy on the shelf, not a poster that looks like everyone else's.
Social media marketing for a toy store is the use of Instagram, Facebook and parent groups to show real stock to people with a child's occasion ahead. GullySales plans the posts, the formats and the replies around what your shop actually holds.
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 toy stores
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“A toy is bought by looking, so the picture decides”
A parent scrolling on a phone stops at a toy being opened, built or played with. A flat brand image does not hold them. A short clip of a staff member snapping a set together in the shop shows size, quality and fun in a way a caption cannot.
“Posting for children misses the people who pay”
The audience is parents, grandparents and gift buyers. Posts written for them speak of age fit, of what lasts past the first week and of what will not embarrass at a party, rather than shouting about a sale.
“The best reach sits in private groups”
An apartment or class group where a parent asks for gift ideas moves more buyers than a public page. A shop whose name is offered by a member of the group gets the next ask. That path cannot be bought, only earned by being useful.
“Comments and direct messages are the shop counter”
A message asking whether a toy is in stock and what it costs is a buyer at the door. Left unanswered for a day, it is a buyer who has gone elsewhere, so replies need an owner on the staff rota.
What we do
What we deliver for toy stores.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A post plan built on your stock and your dates
A plan that matches what arrives in the shop with the festivals, holidays and school terms ahead.
Result: Posts go out about toys you hold, before the dates they serve.
Short clips from the shop floor
Unboxing, building and demonstration clips shot by staff on a phone, with simple guidance on light and sound.
Result: The feed shows toys being used, not only photographed.
Gift idea posts by age and budget
A series that groups three or four toys by age band and price, ready to share in groups and on stories.
Result: A parent can save a post and show it to the family.
A reply routine for comments and messages
Wording for the common asks (price, stock, age, wrapping) and a named person who answers.
Result: No enquiry sits unanswered because nobody knew whose turn it was.
A way into parent and class groups
A short note for members who suggest your shop, and a rule against posting offers in groups that do not allow them.
Result: You are named for the right reasons, and groups are not spammed.

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.
