If you’re reading this blog, we bet you already understand the value of social media marketing, but one area that is often overlooked is proper hashtagging. If you’re not taking advantage of popular hashtags each day of the week, you’re missing out on some great opportunities to gain exposure for your content. In this post we’ll go over some of the most commonly used daily hashtags that you can use to help build your social media following and grow a relevant audience.
What are hashtags?
Before we dive into the daily hashtags we want to provide a quick overview of the main hashtag types and how they can be used to grow your business. There is a wide range of hashtags available and they are all used for different situations. The most common ones are location-based hashtags, industry hashtags, custom business hashtags, and of course the focus of this post, daily hashtags.
- Location-based hashtags – These are generally used as a way to increase your visibility in a particular region and are often used to get more foot traffic to your store.
- Industry hashtags – Most commonly these hashtags are used to gain visibility in a particular industry. They can help to boost your business’ credibility and demonstrate thought leadership.
- Custom business hashtags – This type of hashtag is all about you and can be used to help personalize your brand, increase brand loyalty, and even .
That brings us to Daily hashtags. These hashtags tend to be a bit more general, as they don’t relate to any specific location, industry or business but instead are simply dependant on the day of the week. With that said, if you are able to create content that is both relevant to the daily hashtag and your business they are a great tool for boosting your social media presence and getting your brand in front of a much larger audience.
