Organic Posting During COVID-19
One of the most difficult parts of promoting a business on social media is standing out from the noise. It is even more difficult now that COVID-19 has forced so much of the economy to rely on digital mediums. So, especially now, basic paid digital advertising isn’t enough to incite brand favourability. It certainly cannot be a business’ sole means of attracting clientele. That is why businesses must look to organic posting for support!
Siva Creative believes that organic content is essential to developing a powerful online presence. With an individual seeing thousands of advertisements every month, and 70-80% of users ignoring sponsored search results, businesses need to get creative.
Learn here which platforms are best for each of your businesses objectives!

Which Platforms Can Help Your Business...
1) ... Maintain A Dialogue?
Dialogue is key when trying to build a strong connection with consumers online. This is even more important when they can not visit you in-store. Responding to direct messages or replying to comments are outstanding ways of ensuring easy communication for consumers. After all, 90% of consumers read online reviews or comments before visiting a business. Also, having the ability to reply to these reviews and comments establishes a personal connection with users. Therefore, a two-way dialogue enabled by social media is essential to overall building trust and favourability. Plus, it gives viewers a greater sense of your company’s customer service during difficult times.
Platforms that encourage two-way communication with consumers through comments or digital chats are:
- Twitter,
- Facebook,
- Instagram,
- LinkedIn,
- YouTube.
NOTE: Out of Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, Instagram is the highest engagement rate per follower.
2) ... Update Your Customers?
Keeping consumers updated about your health precautions, availability, and new features are essential to maintaining a relationship during this time. The best means of doing so are:
- Google My Business COVID-19 Updates or Events,
- Facebook Events or Status’,
- Instagram Post/Story,
- Twitter,
- YouTube,
- TikTok,
- LinkedIn.
At Siva Creative, we want to keep businesses updated on how our clients are staying positive during all this and staying ahead! To do this, Siva Creative created the ‘Portfolio of Positivity’ and showcased it across our social media profiles linking viewers to our related Portfolio Of Positivity Blog. It updated viewers on how clients are staying active in their industry. Also, it informs viewers that Siva Creative is maintaining its consistency and availability for all its clients during these uncertain times.
How is Siva Creative using these platforms to stay consistent for clients?
First, we implement them in strategic ways to reach diverse crowds with an abundance of information. For example, Siva uses LinkedIn to give businesses updates on ways to stay on top of their game. There’s also Siva Creative’s Instagram ‘What’s Happening’ highlight showing viewers what they are up to or even basic Facebook posts (as seen to the right)!
3) ... Generate Revenue?
Due to COVID-19, many businesses are struggling to profit. Organic content can increase sales without a huge advertising budget. Therefore, organic content can help you create the revenue you need with an exceptional ROI.
Some effective platforms are:

DermaNiche, one of Siva Creative’s clients, utilized Google My Business Offers to promote their Self-Care Box. By promoting it on Google My Business, DermaNiche has an organic post directly linking potential consumers to the sales page. Additionally, Google My Business has a section highlighting the promotion code to draw attention.

Organic content can provide direct links to your site with simple prompts to create intrigue. By driving traffic to your website, you develop opportunities to generate new leads.
