NFT hashtags

There was a period where it felt like all people could talk about were NFTs. The NFT boom seems to have diminished somewhat, with the peak occuring in January of 2022. Since then we’ve seen a steady decline in sales of NFTs. That’s not to say it’s impossible to make money from NFTs today, and hashtags will certainly help you reach wider audiences.

Metaverse hashtags

The Metaverse has overtaken NFTs as the most talked about innovation. The already futuristic metaverse is set to see ever-developing progress and is likely to be in constant discussion for some time to come. If your brand is involved in the metaverse, make sure your customers know this by using metaverse hashtags.

93. #meta
94. #metaverse

How many hashtags to use?

It’s very likely you’ll hear conflicting advice on this. And there are reasons behind this differing advice. Using too few hashtags, or none at all, means you could be limiting your potential audience reach. Using too many, however, can come off as overly spammy. This is something that finance-orientated brands should try to avoid. The maximum number of hashtags you can use on Instagram is 30, but that doesn’t mean this is number you should use.

Here’s some platform-specific advice:

• Twitter. Hashtags on Twitter are very visible and too many clutter up a tweet, detract from the message, and position your brand as try-hard and spammy. According to Social Pilot, one to two hashtags can achieve 21% more engagement, whereas tweets with more than two hashtags can see up to 17% less engagement.
• LinkedIn. Limiting the number of hashtags on a single post to three is recommended by the platform. LinkedIn has stated that using too many hashtags could lead to your post being marked as spam.
• Facebook. Facebook is probably the platform where hashtags matter least. They’re simply not used nor searched particularly frequently there. Using no hashtags on Facebook is perfectly acceptable, or you may choose to use only one or two that match up with a current marketing campaign from your brand.
• Instagram. Not too long ago, Instagram itself recommended using only three to five hashtags per post. It’s no secret that hashtags drastically boost reach and engagement on the platform, which is why it’s somewhat surprising that IG recommends using only a handful. Instagram’s recommendation is at odds with the results for creators. In short, the more hashtags you use on Instagram, the better reach/engagement you get. It can be said that excessive hashtags gives off a spammy vibe on IG, but it’s fairly easy to bury hashtags in your posts on Instagram – either by leaving five lines of dots under your caption and then inserting your hashtags, or by posting your hashtags separately in a comment to the post.

Should I use popular or niche hashtags?

It’s a good idea to use mix of popular, trending, and niche hashtags so that you cover all bases. While trending and uber popular hashtags have the potential to reach huge audiences, niche hashtags can sometimes get you better and/or more targeted engagement.

Instagram and Twitter will allow you to see how many times a particular hashtag has been used by searching for that hashtag. There’s no particular number that indicates whether a hashtag is niche or not, but generally, niche hashtags are those that have been used only a few thousand or even only a few hundred times. Users that follow or search niche hashtags do so because they are specifically interested in a certain topic. And because less brands are using niche hashtags, you have more of a chance of being noticed.

The niche hashtags you use could be location based – for example, you could add your city name before or after a popular hashtag e.g. #GreenFinanceBristol. This means you have a higher chance of reaching customers based in your area. You could also try adding words that sum up your brand’s target audience, industry niche, or words that reflect particular system or process used by your brand e.g. #GenZFinance, #RetirementReady, #TradingMentor.

Campaign Hashtags

If you’re running a campaign then creating a campaign specific hashtag is a great idea. This will allow you to zero in on conversations, questions and entries for your campaign or competition. It also helps your marketing agency to track mentions, engagement and interaction for your campaign. Keep campaign hashtags memorable and easy to write like these famous ones:

• #ShareACoke by Coca-Cola
• #HereToCreate by Adidas
• #IceBucketChallenge by ALS Association
• #TweetFromTheSeat by Charmin
• #MyCalvins by Calvin Klein
• #WeAccept by Airbnb

Remember to be inclusive when you use hashtags. We recently authored a guide on social media inclusivity which you can check out here.
