Tips for Successful Hashtag Campaigns

A good hashtag is: memorable, unique, relevant to your campaign.

Find a balance: Hashtags should be distinctive and simple for followers to remember. But generic hashtags, like #food, are too broad and too hard to track.

Create an easy-to-understand message:

• Craft a hashtag around one particular message.
• Keep it short
• Make the call-to-action clear, consistent, and easy.
• Avoid anything too abstract.
• Capitalize multi-word hashtags.

Create your own momentum:

• Identify your audience’s influencers.
• Look to your fans to inspire new campaign hashtags.
• Utilize your brand: Consider using your brand’s name in a hashtag.

Double check:

• Could your hashtag mean something else entirely?
• Steer clear of slang.
• Before you finalize a list of hashtags, check if your are being used elsewhere in an entirely different context.

Proofread then proofread again:

• If a hashtag can be misread, it will be.
• Make sure when capitalization is removed, the words in a hashtag to not create other words or messages.
• Incorporate hashtags into traditional media: Consider using hashtags on billoards, television commercials, etc.

Have a backup plan:

• Test a hashtag before heavily marketing it.
• Have an alternative campaign prepared if your initial idea is co-opted.

Live tweet during a big event:

• Find a way to incorporate your hashtag into elections, sport championships, awards shows, and other major events.

Monitor the conversion:

• Follow hashtags to keep track of trends in your industry.
• See what your competition does, what influencers sa, and how customers react.

Hashtags can be a great way to engage with followers on the proper platform, to introduce new products or services, and gain traction for an event. #UseHashtags
