Salty Social Media Vocabulary: #SummerTime (and the Living’s Easy)

Summer has almost come and gone, and it’s not too late to share your summertime content. Because there’s no universal hashtag for all summer adventures, we’re sharing a few popular ones that will ensure your content is both relevant and visible.

• #Instatravel
  As the name suggests, #instatravel is used primarily for travel posts. As the name also suggests, it’s meant to be used exclusively on Instagram.

Should You Use It?
As one of Instagram’s most popular and timeless hashtags can and should be used across your personal and branded content when relevant.

• #Roadtrip
  All travel provides moments to create and capture great content, but perhaps none as unique as the road trip. As a part of the American cultural zeitgeist, #roadtrips are instantly relatable to many audiences.

Should You Use It?
When relevant, definitely use it on both personal and brand social.

• #Vacation & #Vacay
  #Vacation is self-explanatory, with #vacay simply being its verbal abbreviation-turned-hashtag.

Should You Use It?
While they are essentially one in the same, we’d recommend using whichever one is a better fit for your brand voice
