But What IS a #Hashtag?

A Quickie Primer

?Hashtags are just a way to categorize or label things, although a lot of people use them to funny, cheeky, or ironic.

There’s no limit to the number of hashtags you can use, though we generally limit it to around 3-5, sometimes up to 10 if there’s a lot going on (like hashtagging a video).

Using common ones can get you new followers or likes (#nofilter #[location] #sunset), whereas using branded ones like the ones that use our name make it easy for us to sort content from our sites.

For example:

We’re using #AloricaLovesCustomerService and asking sites to show us how #AloricaCelebratesCSW – so you can use both!

I manage 73+ social media teams at local sites across the globe. The above is taken directly from an email I sent in response to a member of my team asking for help with hashtags. Succinct summary, HMU if you have any futher questions!
