Hashtag research

         

One of todays' #TrendingTopic on #Twitter is #MyHomeTownIn4Words and watching how people reacted to the hashtag and what they posted got me to thinking about hashtag research and how knowing how to use trending topics, can be used to personify your brand, #cause or mission. 

You see, just by identifying what category a hashtag might fall in, could determine 1 person or an entire city finding you reliable and relatable.  For instance, using a hashtag that you might label, in your notes somewhere, as "local,"  will help you to find out about happenings in your neighborhood and just how likely those neighbors/potential clients are, to purchase a product, move into a neighborhood or even send their child to a certain karate school.  Knowing things like this, help you to establish your self as the most knowledgeable realtor, store owner, etc.  Do you see how invaluable hashtag research can be?
