4 popular hashtags to amplify your brand on Twitter
Some of the most popular and trending hashtags can be used to amplify your brand. Here’s how.
Twitter is where people connect with their passions, share their opinions and get up-to-date news action – all in 140 characters or less. If you’re a brand that uses Twitter as part of your social media and marketing strategy, creating effective tweets that spark conversations and engagement is pretty important. Luckily, Twitter Analytics can help direct your content.
Twitter Analytics is one of the most useful resources for social media strategists. It offers the ability to view recurring-trends data where you can access statistics on commonly used hashtags. And instead of guessing which hashtags are relevant for your audience, Twitter breaks it down into gender, ages and location based on each hashtag. You can then use the right hashtag for your audience to make a greater impact.
Weekly hashtags, such as #FlashbackFriday and #TransformationTuesday have become standard hashtags that people look forward to each week.
Let’s dig deep and take a look at the top four recurring weekly hashtags according to Twitter and how you can use them as part of your social media strategy.
#MotivationMonday
Motivation Monday is all about starting the week off right, and the great thing is, it’s available to every kind of industry – whether you’re the business of fitness or flight attendants.
#MotivationMonday garnered 2.4 million tweets in 2016 alone and generated 125 million impressions. It’s used by 56% of males and most relevant to the 18-24-year-old market across western countries.
Give your followers a positive dose of motivation by sharing personalised content that inspires. It could be something that is likely to inspire your audience or something that inspires you. Keep it light and filled with your brand personality.
