Traffic on both Twitter and Instagram can be driven by hashtags. There are online sites that will tell you exactly how often a certain hashtag has been used. When you’re posting on Instagram, remember that you’re allowed to post with as many as 30 hashtags. This is an excellent way to get others familiar with your brand.
Another advantage of hashtags on both Twitter and Instagram is that they essentially sort and archive your posts. If you’re looking for an old tweet, you can simply search your page for that hashtag. The good news is that your customers can too. If they like something you’re sharing, all they have to do is click the hashtag to find more similar content from you.
If all you’re doing is posting ads for your company, you’re not going to have many social media followers. One great way to encourage people to come to your accounts and to continue to follow them is to offer discounts, giveaways, exclusive promotions, or advice. In short, you need to offer something that’s actually useful and informative through your social media accounts. This is going to not only make your site better to follow, but it will make your current customers more likely to share your posts and get more new customers.
Join groups on various social media platforms that would likely be interested in what your company offers. Look at social media accounts for companies who are related to what you do, and follow their fans. If nothing else, this will ensure that people know who your brand is.
