Basics first! Why are you using a hashtag? Keep in mind that for your audience to easily remember it, a hashtag should be notable.
Integrating a hashtag in media is a way to make sure it becomes memorable.
Whether it’s on TV, flyers or though direct mail, integrated hashtags have the best chance of making it to the top of the consumer’s mind.
There is no absolute need for a new hashtag to be created. If people are already engaging in a relevant conversation, half the work has been done. All brands have to do is join in with significance.
After choosing or creating a hashtag, Twitter’s “Choosing A #” will walk you through the next stages to take in order to amplify your message.
