How to Properly Tag on Social Media
If you've ever wondered how or why to tag a person or brand on social media, you're in the right place!
But First, What is Tagging?
Tagging on social media is the act of tying or linking a person or a brand page to a piece of content. This notifies the tagged party and is a direct way to bring a piece of content to their attention.
Why Do We Tag?
Generally, we tag pieces of content that we want to bring to the attention of another person or brand. For example, if you're promoting an Astro Offer for a particular pet food brand on social media, you can actually mention (tag) the brand's social page. This alerts the brand that you've done so which could bring the brand to your page to comment or even share your post for you!
You can even mention us by using our name on these different social platforms, we love seeing and sharing your posts:
Facebook : @astropetloyalty
Instagram : astroloyalty
Twitter: @Astro_Loyalty
LinkedIn: @astroloyalty
If you're participating in any of our Loyalty in Action programs, tag us anytime you post!
Now, let's see how to properly tag on social media!
