Promoted Videos

Promoted Trends

Another good alternative could be Promoted Trends. These hashtags begin or continue a conversation, making them ideal for single and reoccurring events such as your 4th of July pool party, resident referral contests, or Empire viewing parties. Hashtags generally don’t sell products, but they’re wonderful for engagement and exposure.

Promoted Accounts

A Promoted Account is recommended as “Who to Follow,” based on similar accounts subscribed to by the users. This makes it particularly important to ensure that your profile provides specific details and thorough descriptions—so that the right people are referred your way. Err on the side of too much detail rather than not enough.

With any ad that you choose, be sure to keep the content fresh and the context timely and appropriate!
