Why Consistent Social Posting is Crucial for Your Oshawa Small Business (And How We Can Help—For Free!)

As a small business owner in Oshawa, you know the grind. You’re juggling inventory, serving customers, managing staff, and constantly looking for ways to grow your brand. Amidst all this, one task often falls by the wayside: consistent and regular posting on social media.

You've set up profiles on various networks—Facebook, Instagram, maybe even TikTok or LinkedIn—which is a great start! But simply having a profile isn't enough. In today's digital world, a sporadic post is quickly forgotten. You need a regular rhythm of content to keep your business top-of-mind, share your latest specials, showcase your Oshawa-made products, and maintain that vital engagement with your existing and potential clients. Consistency is the key to both maintaining your current client base and growing your business.

The Unwinnable Battle: Ads, Boosting, and Big Corporations

Let’s be honest: you’re watching your hard-earned money funnel into ads and post boosting just to try and keep pace with bigger corporations. They have entire teams dedicated to social media strategy and large budgets to pour into paid promotion. It's a losing battle over time. This system pulls valuable funds out of our local community and into the pockets of major tech giants—money that could be doing so much more right here in Oshawa.

We believe there's a better way. It’s time to take back our power and bring greater unity to our community with efforts that stay local. 

Doing Things Differently: A Community Partnership

We are the ILFJL Collective: A Compassionate Network for Change, and our efforts are centered right here in Oshawa, operating under the belief that love truly is for everyone. We’ve been building a powerful network of individuals and small businesses who share a love and compassion for our community, particularly those most in need.

We are seeking partners—like your small business—with a desire to assist us in raising awareness for our community programs.

Here’s where we do things differently and where your business benefits:

• Zero Financial Cost to You: We do not believe our awareness efforts should drain funds from our community. We have never paid for ads or boosted a post. Our specialty is in building genuine, organic engagement across a wide network.

• Free Social Media Content Creation: We will partner with you to create high-quality, relevant social media content specific to your small business—your products, your services, your specials. Content you can post to your own business profiles.

• The Power of Collective Effort: We’ve built a robust network, with our own brand, Just Oshawa, posting regularly across 15 different social networks. By working together, we bring greater awareness not only to your small business but also to our collective efforts to support our community.

• Training for Efficiency: We’ll even teach you how to best post that content to maximize your time and effort. Imagine: all your posting for 7 days taking about 15 minutes a week, and it’s all for free.

Join Our Next Phase: Fundraising and Visibility

We are now moving into our next phase: fundraising through the use of products and services in Oshawa, from Oshawa-made goods to Oshawa artist creations and so much more.

We are seeking partners to simply put up posters for this community-wide effort. These posters also share our posts across social networks, connecting our efforts. This is your chance to participate, without any financial cost to your business.

We believe that by working together, with a collective effort that creates multiple benefits for our community, we all benefit. We can bring more love and compassion to the community we live, work, and play within.

You have the opportunity now: Take a little time for a quick, commitment-free meeting to meet and learn more about how we can work together. Let’s discuss the options and start creating change together.
