To be able to be found on Social media, particularly on the Instagram and Twitter platforms, Hashtags are important. They are words or phrases preceded by the hashtag sign # and act as a search function to find posts on a similar topic.
Some people use them a lot, some less so, but they are a good way to be found and we recommend using them for your flower farm accounts.
We created #flowerfarmerama as an original, new hashtag for this social media challenge, so that people who are interested in what we’re doing will easily be able to find flower growers online and follow their posts. You don’t need to wait for someone to make a hashtag for you to use, be inventive and creative!
You can follow a hashtag to see everything that’s posted using it. If you search for the hashtag on the search function on your social media platform, the results will come up with an option to follow.
In addition to our #flowerfarmerarma here are some hashtags that we suggest you might want to use so that you can be found by your potential customers:
