and so on. If you’re a marketer, the
use of hashtags cannot be ignored. Hashtags can increase the reach of content,
highlight your brand, hit your target market, make your content seen, improve
your SEO strategies and do wonders to your social media marketing.
What is a Hashtag on Social Media?
Hashtags are words or groups of words after the # symbol.
Eg: (#India or #SocialMediaMarketing). It basically makes it easier to track a
specific topic of discussion. If you type #India, you’ll be able to see an
entire conversation about this topic by thousands of people. In the same way,

What are they and how do they help
your business?
Brand and campaign specific hashtags are those which you
make for your own business. You can use them to market your brand and for
promotions. Your hashtag should ideally be the name of your brand or company
tagline. Make a brand hashtag that is relevant to your business. Your hashtag
should be like a signature tag. Get more and more people to use them so that
your brand gets marketed. Similarly, campaign hashtags are made for every
marketing campaign you hold. For eg. If you have a sale/discount scheme at your
store/business you can create a unique hashtag to highlight the sale. If you
get people to use the tag, your campaign will get enormous reach.
Trending Hashtags
A trending hashtag is that tag which has become very
popular. You must have come across the term about “what’s trending now.” It is
referring to the hashtags that are trending or most talked about right now.
Trending hashtags constantly change in real time. To have your business hashtag
to trend, you must make sure it is used extensively and reaches an enormous
audience.
Content Hahstags
Content Hashtags are those you use in your posts. They are
not brand hashtags and are not used to define your business and marketing.
These may not be trending or may not be that famous. They are simple hashtags
that are relevant to your posts and content. Content hashtags improve the
search engine optimisation (SEO) of your content. They get your updates noticed
by people who are searching or using your hashtag words.
Hashtags are widely used and are an
integral part of marketing your business on social media!
