A video is worth a thousand pictures. That’s right, it’s all about visual content! Words aren’t enough to keep the audience engaged these days. From memes to infographics, images on social media get more engagement than links or text.

#Hashtags
Hashtags are not going anywhere. With recent integration across most social platforms, they have now become the way to express and search for content. Hashtags turn words and phrases into clickable links in your posts on your profile or page.
Hashtags allow you to organise content and track other discussions based on the keyword you use, which in turn enables you to see all related posts in real time.
Just by utilising those 3 basic social media trends and properly managing your time and campaign, it will be well worth the effort! So say ‘I do’, stay committed & success will come!
