Strategically including hashtags in your marketing campaign tweets can exponentially increase your reach and popularity. Including a hashtag gives a Tweet perspective and can give a conversation longevity.<\/p>\n<p>Before you launch a Twitter Ad campaign highlighting a certain hashtag, search for it on Twitter. Be certain it hasn\u2019t been used too often or will not in any ambiguity or confusion in your audience.<\/p>\n<p>Keep your hashtags short and distinct so it can be easily added to Tweets. For example, Summer Camp Food Festival\u2019s hashtag is &#8220;#SCFF2017&#8221;, much sleeker than \u201c#CelebrateSummerCampFoodFestivalWeek2017\u201d would be.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Hashtags are not case-sensitive, but adding capital letters does make them easier to read:\u00a0#WeekendSalevs . #weekendsale.<\/li>\n<li>Make sure you add the hashtag for your brand, products or services and encourage customers to use it when they are tweeting about your brand.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><strong>Prime Time Tweeting<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Identify the geographic location of your audience and tweet at times that best suits their time zone.

Give context and add your own opinion while retweeting someone else\u2019s content. When you use Twitter\u2019s <strong>Retweet<\/strong> icon, your Retweet or Quote Tweet will reference the Tweet you are sharing. When someone responds to your Retweet, the author of the original Tweet will not be added to the conversation by default. You will have to mention the author\u2019s username for that. In addition to sharing someone else\u2019s tweet, you can also retweet or quote tweet your own tweet, this allowing you to report your old tweets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Use the right format While you are at liberty to get as creative as you wish with your Twitter Ad, it is essential to follow a basic protocol to catch&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":1996,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2115,2114,1],"tags":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themediaant.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/twitter-ads-pic10.png?fit=347%2C301&ssl=1","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.themediaant.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1995"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.themediaant.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.themediaant.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.themediaant.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/14"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.themediaant.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1995"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.themediaant.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1995\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2010,"href":"https:\/\/www.themediaant.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1995\/revisions\/2010"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.themediaant.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1996"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.themediaant.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1995"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.themediaant.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1995"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.themediaant.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1995"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
