Use of Hashtags in Social Media

There were several questions about using hashtags in social media. Hashtags helps classify your posts in social media. They are also a way people search for content, or add people/companies to follow. Some social media platforms rely on hashtags more than others. Instagram definitely relies on them heavily.

Sprout Social, which is a social media management platform, does a great job explaining the importance of hashtags and how to use them on almost every social media platform. Check out this blog article: How to Use Hashtags on Every Social Media Network

How to Get More Likes for Your Facebook Page

As we said in the presentation, there are several ways you can get more Facebook likes. The two biggest things to remember:

  1. Ask for likes – EVERYWHERE!
    Email signatures, inserts into shopping bags, POS systems, send an email to current customers, add a QR code to all marketing materials, etc.
  2. DO NOT work with a company that guarantees a dramatic increase in likes. To get a good following takes time, but you’ll be rewarded by engaged users who are interested in your brand.

Here are a few blog articles to expand on the idea of how small businesses can get more likes on their Facebook page:
