2. Hashtag Campaigns
It’s safe to say that hashtags have revolutionized
internet marketing campaigns.
Hashtags are a way for companies to track the people
who tag them and spread around their brand to
several different social media websites.
Hashtags have become so popular that they’ve been
adopted by other media networks sites such as:
•
•
•
•
•
Facebook
Pinterest
Google+
YouTube
Tumblr

3. What Can You Give Away?
Hashtags not only direct people to different companies and
brands, they can also be used to give away branded promotional
products to raise awareness about a certain company.
There is basically no end to things you can give away using
hashtags on various social media networking sites.
Depending on how much you want to spend, you can give away:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Water bottles
Sports equipment
Clothes
Watches
Lanyards
Bags/Totes

4. The Benefit of a Free Giveaway
Giving away promotional items means
you’ll lose money, but you’ll gain social
media traffic in return.
Unlike giving away free merchandise at your
company store, you will be guaranteed to get
recognition for all of your merchandise online.
This is because in order to get the free
merchandise, customers and potential customers
must put a hashtag in their posts, which will
direct attention to your company.

5. When to Use Branded Merchandise
You don’t want to lose a ton of money and not get the traffic you need,
which is why you should only give away free branded merchandise
during specific events and times of the year.
Big holidays are a good idea, and so are company events. Every time
you have a really big sale, consider giving away branded merchandise
through your social media accounts. Some big events can include:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Christmas Sales
President’s Day
Clearance Sales
Liquidation Sales
Moving Sales
Grand Opening Sales
Inventory Reductions

6. Best Social Media Platforms
A lot of different social media networks use
hashtags now because of their popularity on
Twitter.
You can choose to use your hashtag
giveaway on all of your social media
sites, but there are a few that
always get the most traffic. These
include:
•
•
•
•
•
Facebook
Twitter
YouTube
Instagram
Pinterest

7. Keep Your Demographic Group in Mind
The social media sites and products you select should
reflect your demographic group.
This should be fairly easy to do since there are probably
hundreds of different products you can give away.
However, it’s a good idea to keep in mind that your
campaign will probably do better if you’re giving away
things that your demographic will actually use, and if your
campaign is done on social media sites your demographic
visits frequently.
