Animal Shelter Marketing: Using Hashtags

Marketing and social media promotion for animal care facilities and rescues: using keywords and hashtags to boost engagement and visibility.

One of the ways brands can boost online interaction is through the use of trending hashtags, often used for specific days of the week, and for certain occasions and themes. Some popular phrases you may have seen could be #motivationmonday, #throwbackthursday, or #flashbackfriday, however there's also an entire selection of keywords for days of the week and special occasions for pets such as Ginger Cat Day, National Dog Day, Adopt a Senior Pet Month, etc. In addition, it's wise to search out hashtags for your area such as #delawarepets, #Marylanddogs, or location-based terms.


What are some regional or pet-related tags or phrases you find helpful to include in your posts?
