The Power of a Hashtag

hashtag-power

Like most marketers, I do look at my analytics.     For me, it is about reach and engagement, the second being way more important than the first.   How many followers I have are really irrelevant to me, I am looking for quality not quantity. I would rather have far fewer followers that are engaged and interested than vice versa.   To me, it means that the content that I am putting out is of interest and hopefully thought provoking.

That being said, I can across a statistic the other day looking at Twitter that absolutely floored me.   I live in Steveston, BC, Canada.   For those of you who do not know, that is where the show Once Upon A Time is filmed.  Truthfully, I am not a fan, hey I barely watch TV, however, it amazes me how popular this show actually is.

The other day, I was walking through the village of Steveston and saw this.

I decided to tweet it out using the hashtag #OUAT  (Once Upon a Time).

Ben Baker @CMYKSolutions Nov 4 Hey they are making a mess again!

The response was incredible.

power-of-a-hashtag

 8336 Impression and 1079 engagements for an engagement rate of 12.9%.

Nothing I have sent out lately has even come close.

What this shows is that for everything, there is a loyal following built up over time that is passionate.    The trick is to find ways to engage your fans to make sure they are passionate about you and what you do.

Do not just send out a tweet or post to another social media medium and hope for the best.   ASK QUESTIONS and LISTEN to what people have to say.    Incorporate their advice and make things better.

We use the hashtag #GettingYOUNoticed .  .  . it helps us tell our story and provides a rallying point for those we wish to engage.

Take the time to figure out what you want to achieve in your marketing, be strategic and if we can help, we are always here to Get YOU Noticed!

The SILVER option is designed for companies on a limited budget or who would like to try the power of the Communicate Your Why program before committing.

It provides you with a reasonable amount of shareable content and access to our network. However, for most companies, this may not provide a full year's worth of marketing materials. If you purchase a SILVER package and decide to upgrade within 30 days of the airing of your episode, we will credit 90% of the SILVER package towards either a GOLD or PLATINUM package.

Our expectation is that we will release your episode within 30 days of the recording date.

The GOLD option is a basic yearly marketing package.

Optimally, you would release an episode quarterly and use the content that accompanies it to update your marketing on a quarterly basis. It is literally four times the amount of marketing materials as the SILVER option and allows you to not only tell your story but create a case studies with clients or talk about specific ways you add value to your clientele in a non-sales way. We would suggest that you have us interview other employees, suppliers, strategic partners and/or clients with additional episodes in order to add additional value and tell a richer and a more robust version of your brand story.

Our expectation is that we will release your episodes quarterly.

The PLATINUM option is designed as a monthly marketing package

It gives you the content you desire to stay top of mind with your clients and prospects, talk about ongoing developments and tell a more robust story. Again, if you purchase a GOLD package and decide to upgrade to a PLATINUM one within 90 days of starting the original GOLD package, we will credit 90% of the original purchase price towards the price of the PLATINUM option. We would suggest that you have us interview other employees, suppliers, strategic partners and/or clients with additional episodes in order to add additional value and tell a richer and more robust version of your brand story.

Our expectation is that we will release your episodes monthly.
