SMB Series- Twitter Hashtags for Businesses

Connect on Twitter

Throughout the month of November we will be running our “SMB Blog Series.” While SMB traditionally refers to “Small/Medium Business,” here at Volusion it has come to mean something else: “Small Made Big.” This month we will be sharing resources, tips, stats, and inspirations to help you turn your small ecommerce endeavor into something greater- something BIG!

We all know Twitter can be great for advertising your business and connecting with your customers, but what business owners sometimes overlook is the value that Twitter provides them as entrepreneurs. Twitter can help business owners stay on top of industry news and connect with fellow online store owners.

Here are some great hashtags to get your business plugged in on Twitter:

  • #smb
  • #smallbusiness
  • #SMBs
  • #entrepreneurs
  • #startups
  • #ecommerce

Also remember that if there are any conferences or trade shows related to your business’s specific industry, chances are people will be tweeting from them. Go to Twitter Search and find the hashtag that is being used for an event and follow the tweets. You’ll get a good list of new people to follow, setting the foundation for establishing new partnerships and friendships in your industry.

Have additional suggestions? Tell us below which business hastags you follow on Twitter.
