We’ve often discussed how great it is to be able to tap into trending topics across social media.

We must add a word of caution though! Do make sure your posts are relevant to the trending topic you are aiming to become involved with. If you would like to discuss your team supporting England, how you are going to watch the match, or any relevant products or information by all means find the trending hashtags. However, your post’s legitimacy will become diluted if you simply carry on posting as normal but add an irrelevant hashtag to the end in the hope you get noticed!

Enjoy finding some creative ways to make your offerings relevant to trending topics! And if you can’t? Start a trend yourself!

Have you created an intentional hashtag strategy?

Whilst much is made of trending hashtags, don’t be afraid to create and consistently use your own. After all, who better to create hashtags that truly represent your offering than you!

Whilst Instagram allows up to 30 hashtags in any one post, using too many will dilute your message and prove counterproductive. An ideal strategy is to use around 10-12 hashtags across all platforms: having a mix of your own, consistent hashtags, and the more fluid, trending, or relevant hashtags.

Remember, the point of a hashtag is to identify digital content on a specific topic, this gives you the opportunity to increase your reach and for your content to appear in front of people who don’t follow you yet – a win as far as we’re concerned!
