What’s a ‘hashtag’?
- Placing a hashtag in front of a word or phrase on social media links all uses of that word or phrase together across the platform.
Why use a hashtag?

- Hashtagging your comments or posts with seasonal or event related terms increases engagement with your business on social media. E.g. Running an ad for your products for Mother’s Day? #HappyMothersDay
Why follow hashtags?
