Local business marketing<\/a> is about connecting with current and prospective customers where they like to frequent, which usually means social media. By participating in existing hashtag conversations, businesses and brands can reach this coveted audience.<\/p>\n

Social media is as much a part of the holiday season as eggnog and ugly sweater selfies. People want to share the fun things they do and the bargains they find with their circle of friends and family online. This is where holiday hashtags come in. By creating hashtag-specific campaigns, brands can promote their seasonal giveaways, contests, and sales, plus connect with consumers who are specifically looking for their product or service.<\/p>\n

Keep reading for tips on creating and choosing effective, festive holiday hashtags and spread even more joy this season.<\/p>\n

Seven Tips for Creating Branded Holiday Hashtags<\/h2>\n

1. Don\u2019t Make It All About the Brand<\/h3>\n

It may sound counterintuitive at first, but an effective holiday hashtag shouldn\u2019t be all about the brand. In fact, it doesn\u2019t necessarily need to include the business name at all. Instead, shift the focus to the holiday season itself or the upcoming event being promoted by the brand. Hashtags can also be used to highlight the location of a store or restaurant so more local shoppers can discover the business online.<\/p>\n

2. Appeal to Emotions<\/h3>\n

The holidays are a time for nostalgia, joy, and giving. Try to come up with a hashtag that not only relates to the brand, sale, or event being promoted, but also ties into the holiday spirit. Depending on the brand\u2019s strategy, the target emotion might be sentimentality, thankfulness, or humor. A good example is Lululemon\u2019s 2014 #givepresence hashtag, which encouraged fans to enjoy every moment of the holiday season while reaffirming the brand\u2019s values; UPS also appealed to emotion with last year\u2019s successful #WishesDelivered campaign.<\/p>\n

3. Short Can Be Sweet<\/h3>\n

Businesses should avoid using hashtags that are too long or confusing. Your audience is more likely to appreciate a short, snappy hashtag than a paragraph of smushed-together words. A good hashtag feels effortless and fun<\/a>; it adds context without overcomplicating the post. Keeping your hashtag short and sweet will also help prevent the misunderstandings that sometimes result from wordier hashtags.<\/p>\n

4. Get the Word Out<\/h3>\n

A hashtag can only be effective if people see it. Take advantage of various social networks to connect with more consumers<\/a> and give fans a compelling reason to adopt the hashtag. For example, local businesses can hold contests (both online or in-store) and offer a free holiday gift to incentivize participation. Not only does a heavily promoted holiday hashtag create hype among existing fans, but it can also expand the brand\u2019s visibility to a wider audience of potential customers.<\/p>\n

5. Always Be Consistent<\/h3>\n

Once you choose a hashtag to associate with the brand, stick with it! Repetition helps people remember the hashtag and using one main holiday-focused hashtag increases the chance that customers will start to use it as well. It\u2019s crucial to use the exact same phrasing, spelling, and letter case in every instance so the hashtag looks the same to your audience every time.<\/p>\n

6. Bring the Twitter Hashtag Conversation to the Website<\/h3>\n

\"holiday-hashtags-for-brands\"There are lots of great hashtag tools out there for Twitter. One of my favorites is Twubs.com, which makes it easy to embed any hashtag on a website. Simply enter the hashtag you\u2019d like to feature and grab the code to embed it on your website. You can even customize the title color, background color, width, and height of the embed box.<\/p>\n

Next, copy the embed code and add it to the website where you\u2019d like it to appear. (If web development isn\u2019t your thing, just send the code to the developer and let them know where you want it to go.)<\/p>\n

Site visitors can then follow the hashtag, tweet right from the website (after authorizing access to their Twitter account)<\/em>, choose to join the thread, and receive updates. This can also be done through Twitter.com directly by going to settings, selecting widgets, then clicking create new. However, the process isn\u2019t quite as simple as with Twubs, so I\u2019d recommend starting there first.<\/p>\n

7. Track Effectiveness and Do Even Better Next Time<\/h3>\n

No matter how witty, original, or relevant a hashtag may be, it can only truly be considered effective if it delivers tangible results. Whether the business is aiming to drive online sales or boost Facebook engagement, it\u2019s important to define a goal for the campaign and choose the metrics you want to measure before<\/em> getting started. Make note of any successes and challenges experienced so the business can apply the lessons learned this season to all future holiday marketing campaigns.<\/p>\n

Use Hashtags.org<\/a> to check a hashtag\u2019s popularity on Twitter – but don\u2019t just<\/em> think Twitter when you think hashtags. As demonstrated above, hashtags are also quite popular on Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, and even gaining momentum on LinkedIn. When choosing hashtags for other platforms, try tools like Tagboard<\/a> or Keyhole<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This season, take the holiday hashtag to all social channels. The more people that get involved, the more success the hashtag – and the brand – will experience.<\/p>\n
