When it comes to social media management, half the battle is coming up with new and creative ways to interact with your audience.
One way some brands save time brainstorming content ideas is by leveraging day-specific hashtags. While some of these hashtags are well known and used by a large part of the socialsphere, like #ThrowbackThursday, others are more industry specific, such as #ShoesdayTuesday or #Caturday.
Regardless of the approach, creating a schedule of relevant day or week-specific hashtags can help your brand increase its visibility and keep its social updates on track. For some inspiration, look below to discover how 30 brands from a variety of industries are taking advantage of this strategy:
