What benefits can business derive through Hashtags on Facebook and Twitter?

Recently you may have seen a drastic increase in the usage of hashtags on Facebook, previously they had been in use in other platforms like Twitter, Pinterest and Instagram. Now there is an abundance in the usage of hashtags on both Twitter and Facebook. Putting a hashtag in front of a phrase or a word makes it a clickable link, and when that link is clicked, you can see all the posts with that particular hashtag in them. So businesses can gain a lot of benefits through hashtags on Facebook and Twitter, I have outlined a few below.
Grow your audience
Using hashtags on Facebook and Twitter will help you reach a lot more people than you could have reached otherwise. By using a hashtag you are including your post in a niche topic, and people who are interested in that topic will find your post because of the hashtag. For example, if you are posting about a movie, you can use that movie’s hashtag so all the people who are interested in that movie can look at your post.
Strengthen your brand
You can strengthen your brand by using your own distinctive hashtag on all the posts about a new product or an idea. By using the same hashtag on all the posts about a product you will have a single place for all the posts connected to your product, and it will offer people a convenient place to share their reviews about the product. But make sure that your posts are valuable not just promotional.
Promote special events

You can use hashtags to promote a special event and use the same hashtag on all your posts about that event so people who are interested can get all the information my clicking on the hashtags. You can also use any popular hashtags that fit your goal so the post reaches the relevant people.
