But don’t forget about the power of *organic* reach. “Businesses often underestimate the importance of organic marketing,” says Katie Sehl on [the Hootsuite blog (opens in a new tab)](https://blog.hootsuite.com/organic-reach-declining/) . “But organic social is the foundation that your ad strategy rests on. Behind every successful ad campaign is a consistent and creative social media presence that strengthens brand, relationships, and trust.” For better organic reach, social media managers need to understand the best practices for each platform. Familiarize yourself with your platform’s demographics, features, and tools like hashtags, geotags, people tags, and shopping tags to better connect with your audience. Consistency is also important: Make sure to post regularly and at the same time, Sehl suggests. Find out when your audience is online and active so you can determine the best time to post. Creating a content strategy and social media content calendar will help you stay on track. Don’t just post consistently—respond to users consistently as well. “People are much more likely to engage if they know they may get a response from you,” Sehl says. “After you post something, stick around and respond to your first few comments. This will increase the odds of you receiving more. It’s also a good opportunity to promote brand values and personality.” ### ASAE Virtual Annual Meeting: Day Two > Listening to [#asae20 (opens in a new tab)](https://twitter.com/hashtag/asae20?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) > : “These are extraordinary times.
