Ways To Promote Your Online Shop #2 | Hashtags

Hashtags are an especially useful way to connect with users who follow you and those who don’t follow you.

Hashtags can get your tweets seen by thousands if not millions of other users who are currently following your business on Twitter.

Something to keep in mind is to find and use appropriate hashtags for your business. To get started, look at influencers in your niche (more on that below) and see what hashtags they are using.

Don’t use too many hashtags in one tweet, we suggest one to two hashtags per tweet.

Ways To Promote Your Online Shop #3 | Interact with influencers

Another great way to promote your online shop on Twitter is to interact with influencers that your ideal customer follows.

An influencer is someone who has authority in a particular niche. Influencer marketing is skyrocketing as a way for businesses can get introduced to new audiences.

Interacting with influencers can be a great way to build credibility and trust with new audiences because these people already trust the influencer.

Ideally, you would identify influencers that your target audience follows. Try starting a small conversation on Twitter first to get introduced to the influencer.

Once you’ve developed your relationship more, you may feel more comfortable with asking to partner up with them for a project

As a reader is scrolling through your blog post, they can easily click on the click to tweet to share your blog post on their Twitter account.

If a click-to-tweet wasn’t there, they might not have thought to share it on Twitter, because that’s not at the top of their mind.

But by featuring the click-to-tweet, it’s much more likely that a reader will share your blog post.
