Spread #AgileLove

Hashtags have been a rage in recent times. Brands are using hashtags to engage more customers on social media, draw their attention and get a large slice of the pie. Albeit the sole purpose of hashtags a.k.a ‘#’ was to well-organize content on Twitter, they have now forayed into newer campaigns like creating social media contests, driving conversations and spreading the brand awareness.

A survey claims that individuals can see a 100% increase in engagement by using hashtags, while brands can see a 50% increase. Moreover, the love, loyalty and sense of belongingness a customer perceives with the brand surfaces by his/her usage of the hashtag in the tweets. Simply put, they are a cool way to interact with fans and followers and make the campaigners to spread their love for the brand.

Creating a new hashtag and attaching it with an idea/theme is preferred by marketers compared to capitalizing on the trending hashtags. Many brands fail to pick the right hashtag and that will not convey the essence of the brand. So, a good way to succeed is to create a new hashtag and run your marketing efforts around it.

Taking cues from this we have created a hashtag #AgileLove.

[Tweet “Has @agilecrm taken your business to the next level? Spread the #AgileLove!”]
