The small and enterprising digital advertisers realize that they are in fierce competition, and at a huge financial disadvantage- when competing with the bigger boys in the field. So, they have to be productively innovative and uniquely creative in their publicity drive.

The hashtag is a potently useful tool in digital promotions - when used with sound planning and gainful skill. Hashtags help to essentially categorize our ventures, goods and services in promising, and encouraging light - among the other competitors of like stock.

After all, our digital marketing efforts are about the generation of more and more dedicated subscribers, faithful customers and lucrative prospects- to our worthy products, and services.

Hashtags were initially called and known as Tags, by their original users on a platform called, Internet Relay Chat or IRC - back in 1988.

A good number of social media platforms process hashtags for the convenient, and bankable benefits of their membership.
