Corporate gifting and gift businesses · Social media

Show three hundred hampers packed, not one styled on a table.

Social media for a gifting business is where an HR buyer sees that you can deliver at quantity, and where a shopper finds a personalised gift before Rakhi. GullySales builds the posting around real orders and the packing floor, and handles the enquiries that arrive as direct messages.

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 corporate gifting and gift businesses

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

“Quantity is the thing to prove”
One beautiful hamper photographed on a table proves nothing. Four hundred boxes stacked and labelled for dispatch answers the only doubt an HR manager has.
“LinkedIn is where the buyer is at work”
Admin and HR people post under their own names and look at what suppliers have done. That calls for a different post from the Instagram one.
“Rakhi and Diwali are two separate audiences”
A shopper wants the gift and the price. A company wants the branding and the lead time. Posting one to both wastes the season.
“The direct message is now a brief”
Corporate enquiries arrive in Instagram messages as often as by mail, usually with a quantity and a date in the first line.

What we do

What we deliver for corporate gifting and gift businesses.

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

Packing and dispatch content from real orders
Photographs and short films of batches being packed, branded and labelled for dispatch, with the client's name left out unless they have agreed.
Result: Buyers see that quantity is routine for you.
LinkedIn posts written for HR and admin readers
The occasion, the quantity, the branding and the delivery window described plainly, posted in the weeks those teams are planning.
Result: The people who sign the order see the work.
A retail calendar for the shop occasions
Rakhi, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, the wedding season and Diwali planned a month ahead with products and prices ready.
Result: The shop is visible before shoppers start buying.
Reply rules for an enquiry in a direct message
A first reply asking quantity, date and budget per head, then moving the conversation to mail with a proposal attached.
Result: A message becomes a brief with a name on it.
Unboxing films for each hamper range
Every hamper opened on camera so a buyer can see the contents, the packaging and the finish before asking for a sample.
Result: Fewer sample requests and quicker decisions.
Enquiries and orders traced to their source
Messages, briefs and orders that began on social, split between corporate and retail, weighed against what the accounts brought before.
Result: You know which side the posting is serving.

Platform for this buyer

Where an HR buyer or a shopper looks for a gift, and what to post in each place.

LinkedIn, for the hamper and its budget per head: Show a hamper range with the contents, the branding options and the cities you can deliver to. The action wanted is a request for a proposal with quantity and date.
YouTube, for how a bulk order runs: Walk through the sample, the branding proof, packing and dispatch for a large order, so procurement sees the steps. The action is to send quantity, date and budget per head.
Instagram reels of personalisation: Show an item being engraved, printed or wrapped for a shop buyer. The action is to send the recipient's occasion, the message and the date on WhatsApp.
WhatsApp Business catalogue by occasion and price band: Sort gifts by Rakhi, Diwali, wedding and anniversary, with price bands. Send to past buyers before the occasion. The action is a reply with the recipient's city.
Google Business Profile for the gift shop: Add photographs of the shop, the wrapping counter and ready gifts by occasion. The action is a visit or a call, including for same-day gifts.
What not to post: A company's logo on a gift before the order is approved, employee names from a personalised order, a stock photograph of a hamper you do not make, or a price band you cannot repeat.

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

You have no real orders to photograph or film, so posts would show styled products only
Your client contracts forbid showing their branded gifts and you have no unbranded work to post
No one watches the direct messages, so an enquiry made on the platform would wait unseen

How it works

How the social media work runs

The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.

1
Confirm audience, platforms and access
We note which platforms your buyers use and check that the pages sit under your own business accounts, with you as owner and us as added roles.
2
Review the current presence
We read the existing pages, the posts that drew replies and the gaps in posting.
3
Build the calendar
Themes, formats and dates are set out for your approval, with space for offers and news.
4
Create, approve and publish
Posts are made, approved by you and scheduled. Replies to the public are handled in your voice.
5
Record enquiries and adjust
Enquiries are logged against the post or platform where they began, and the mix changes to follow what brings them.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 0, foundation. The audit comes before it, and sales management keeps it running.

Step 1
Sales audit
Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.
Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.
Step 2 · you are here
Sales process design
One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.
Start here if every salesperson sells differently.
Step 3
Sales management
A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.
Start here if the team has targets and no routine.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need

Can we post the gifts we made for a client?

Only with their permission, because a company's gifting plan is internal and sometimes confidential. Many will allow the product without the logo. Ask at the time of the order, while the relationship is good.

Instagram or LinkedIn for corporate gifting?

LinkedIn for the HR and admin buyer, Instagram for the shop and for showing craft. Packing and dispatch material works on both. Prices and personalisation offers belong on Instagram alone.

Can we post personalised gifts with employee names on them?

No, blur or remove the names. A name on a gift is personal information, and the company that ordered it may not want its staff list seen. Show a sample with a made-up name, or the item without any name, and describe the personalisation in the caption.

Should the gift shop and the corporate business have separate accounts?

Often yes. A shopper wants occasions and prices. An HR buyer wants quantity, branding and dates. One account that tries to serve both confuses each. If you have one team, one account with highlights for each audience can work, and tag the corporate posts clearly.

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.
