#MusicMonday

People use this hashtag to Tweet about their favorite music or what they’re listening to right now. They also use this hashtag to share inspirational stories about music. Your company may choose to share an office playlist, artistic inspiration, or offer advice from a musician who reflects your company values.

Tuesday hashtags

#TravelTuesday

#TravelTuesday is for the voyager in all of us. It’s a trend on social where people share vacation pictures, ask for travel tips, or express their desire to travel somewhere. If you’re in a related industry, use this hashtag to inspire your audience with things like scenery shots, contests or campaigns, travel deals, foodie photos, and expert advice. You could also showcase landmarks and beautiful spots in your own location with this hashtag as a way to invite others to explore the area.

#TipTuesday

This hashtag is a way for people to give helpful tips on pretty much any topic. If you’ve got some industry advice you’d like to share and it happens to be a Tuesday, then use this hashtag. For example, if you work in the contracting sector, you can give home buyers tips on how to manage the challenges of renovations.

Wednesday hashtags

#WomanCrushWednesday, #WCW

This hashtag is a trend on social where people reveal who their female crushes are. It’s accompanied by a photo on Twitter or Instagram. You could take a professional spin on this usually-superficial hashtag by profiling inspirational women in your industry—or in your office—and sharing the ways they exemplify your company values.

#WayBackWednesday

Wednesdays get a bad wrap for being the longest day of the week. To stay positive, people share something they’re grateful for or post a photo of a memorable Wednesday moment.

#WednesdayWisdom

Wednesday makes you two more workdays wiser than Monday, so why not do a mid-week wisdom sharing session? #WednesdayWisdom is a popular hashtag among thought leaders and business experts, so it’s a great way to join in and share your industry knowledge.

Thursday hashtags

#ThrowbackThursday is a social media trend where people post old images, typically of themselves, during a different (often dorky) period in their lives.
