Over the past 6 months I have began to improve the way I market products and use social media as a whole. I have found that engaging with others is a must as a lot of users only share (RT) tweets by their favourite followers or friends. Through doing so I have began talking to a lot of lovely people, which is a bonus!
What has helped me improve drastically over the past 60 days or so is the use of certain hashtags when tweeting. I have a few favourite which are aimed towards the crafty businesses of twitter and I suggest you use them too!
Why not check out #HandmadeHour on Wednesdays (7.30pm-9.30pm) or #BuyBritishBrands (8.30pm-9.30pm)
How about #CraftHour on Sundays (7.00pm-8.00pm)
Or even #creativebizhour on Mondays (8.00pm-9.00pm)
I have found using these hashtags to be an amazing tool when trying to spread the word about my handmade items, and the majority of my sales in the last 2 months have come from #HandmadeHour alone!
Why not check them out and let me know how you get on? Just send a tweet showcasing a product or two and include the hashtag in your tweet at the given times! Go on, I dare you!
