Let me tell you a story that perfectly captures why hashtags matter in the world of giveaways. Back in 2021, Chipotle decided to celebrate National Burrito Day with a Bitcoin giveaway worth $200,000. Sounds crazy? Well, that's exactly what they thought would grab attention - and boy, were they right!
The twist? They created the hashtag BurritoorBitcoin and asked participants to guess a 6-digit code. The campaign generated over 103,000 entries in just a few hours, with the hashtag trending nationwide. But here's the genius part - they didn't just use one hashtag. They strategically combined BurritoorBitcoin with popular giveaway hashtags like sweepstakes and contest, effectively creating a viral marketing tsunami.
The result? A 65% increase in digital sales compared to the previous National Burrito Day. Talk about spicing things up with the right hashtag strategy!
