I'm a Twitter addict, and have a considerable following. So, I do it in spurts, tweeting out image after image , with only the title, media and size ( no prices ). My notifications tell me who "liked" which image; thus I follow up and contact them by direct message (private) to find out if it is a genuine interest, or just a "like" because the co-follower and I are familiar with one another. I do this when it happens to be a slow news day, not to get discarded in the shuffle.
You must be active on social media - following people, commenting, liking their posts. You must engage with people to get them to engage with you.
Hashtags are important because they help you two ways. First, they help identify those people you want to engage with. Search hashtags that are relevant to you, your business, or your posts. Engage with those people that have the same hashtags.
Secondly, liberal and correct usage of hashtags for your posts can help people find and engage with your posts. Instagram is a great medium for this, and allows you to include a lot of hashtags (up to 30, perhaps) to ensure you're covering all the ways people can express interest with their hashtags.

I don't. My business is generated by relationships based on personal contact.
Two ways: Activity and hashtags.

I do not use social media. People that use my business do not look for our type of business on social media. We are a B to B.
