DAYS OF THE WEEK HASHTAGS

This week we wanted to take a look at the world of hashtags. Why do we need them? How can they help our business? And do they really increase our presence?

Used correctly the answer is yes and we can plan our social media calendars better by using days of the week #hashtags to attract more followers and create more consistency across our social media posts. The 3 social media platforms that absolutely love a hashtag is Twitter, Instagram and Googlplus. Hashtags aren’t just hip they do actually increase your social media visibility and attract followers!

For business you have to be very picky with the hashtag groups you want to be seen with. Be mindful of other stuff being posted to that particular hashtag – it may not always be “business appropriate”. There are various types of hashtags, including locations-based hashtags, industry hashtags, custom business hashtags and of course daily hashtags which is what we have chosen to share our top tips on!

DAYS OF THE WEEK HASHTAGS

Monday
Monday is a great day to show a personal side to your business with lighthearted posts while everyone settled back into work from the weekend

Tuesday
A good day for your first business posts of the week. Promotion, showing off recent work and highlighting how your service can benefit your customers

Wednesday
Half way through the week and also known as hump day! A good time for posts to keep your followers motivated. What are you doing in your industry to make a difference? What mantra are you following? Wednesday is a great motivational day so keep the business cogs turning with images and posts about your business.

Thursday
The day of Business gratitude – anything that shows you are grateful for what you do every day. Are you at any meetings or events? Success stories from you or your clients.

Friday
Ah that Friday feeling – in the world of business there’s nothing quite like winding down on a Friday, looking back at your achievements for the week and looking forward to the weekend! Great day to reflect on the week post about your achievements, flashback to previous achievements, show your funny side and help lead your followers into a relaxing weekend.
