The Best Small Business Hashtags On TikTok

Note that if you’re trying to reach customers on TikTok, it’s better to focus on hashtags related to your product, rather than filling your caption with business related hashtags.

While using 1-3 of them will be okay, if you use too many, TikTok will serve your post to other people interested in small business specifically – which is likely to be other business owners, and not customers.

Therefore, if you sell candles for example, it’s best to make sure most of your hashtags are related to candles – that way, the algorithm serves it to people who are interested in the product you sell.

Anyhow, here are the best small business hashtags for TikTok!

1. #Viralbusiness
2. #Smallbiz
3. #startup
4. #smallbusinesssupport
5. #smallbusinessfail
6. #handmade(your product) For example, #handmadejewelry
7. #(yourindustry)products (for example, #phonecaseproducts)
8. #smallbusinesstiktok
9. #TikTokMadeMeBuyIt
10. #Smallbizstuff
11. #Smallbusinesssupport
12. #smallbusinesstok
13. #businessowner
14. #entrepreneur
15. #businesstok
16. #smallbusinesshacks
17. #(yourindustry)business (for example, #digitalprintsbusiness)
18. #businesswoman
19. #selfmade
20. #businesscheck
21. #startuptiktok

My Favorite Small Business Hashtags, And Their Meanings

Finally, let’s look over some of my personal favorite hashtags for small businesses and small business owners, as well as the deeper meaning behind them.

1. #SmallBusinessSaturday

Although technically the event is only supposed to happen once a year – the day after Black Friday, many people use #SmallBusinessSaturday every Saturday that they make a post.

Many consumers think of it this way as well.

Therefore, if you want to remind your customers and following to support small businesses like yours when they get their weekend shopping done, consider using #SmallBusinessSaturday on your post!

2. #(YourCity,YourIndustry) – For Example, #NewYorkDentist

More so than ever before, people are turning to social media to get recommendations for local businesses.

This is because they want to hear the opinions and experiences of real people, rather than articles or marketing media that may be biased.

Therefore, by using this hashtag in your post – even though it may not be that popular, you will find that it generates new customers for you for months or years to come.

3. #ShopLocal

This is another one that raises awareness about small businesses in your area.

It serves as a reminder not to order online or through big box retailers. Rather, support small businesses instead, such as yours and those around you.

This helps to stimulate and invest in your city’s local economy, rather than shipping the money off to some big corporation.

Of course, if you sell online, you may not wish to use this one!

Conclusion

When it comes to hashtags related to small businesses, it’s best to split your post up between the hashtags on this list, and hashtags related to your product or service.

That way, you can ensure that you’re reaching actual customers, rather than just other small business owners. Of course, if you want to network with other entrepreneurs, this may be a good idea!

I hope that you’ve found this article helpful. Be sure to check out my list of entrepreneur hashtags as well if you’re the founder of your company – they may apply in this situation as well!
