• Hashtagging is found to generate a fair amount of response. Map an evergreen hashtag and your followers will automatically start tagging content with it. This is an excellent way to grow your followers and generate publicity.

• Personalization and segmentation will remain the key factors for deciding the content success. Add a human touch to your posts. Use personal comments from the CEO, use pictures, personalize or segment sharing for a particular user/group, engage with campaign participants etc.

• Content that considers audiences a part of it will be most effective. Offer prizes, free product samples, discounts or even simple public recognition in order to boost participation in your campaign.
