It’s no surprise the photo and video-sharing app that has garnered close to 200 million users in just four years is growing at the speed of light. Snapchat, known as the new kid on the block in social media, has quickly and strategically turned into one of the most popular social networks in the world. Even more, it has evolved to meet the needs of users and brands alike<\/p>\n
Snap Facts<\/strong> The platform is constantly updating and testing new ways for brands to connect with their users in an authentic and entertaining way, allowing it to seamlessly be integrated into the entire media ecosystem.<\/p>\n MediaScience surveyed 320 consumers, aged 16 to 56, which compared Snapchat video ads to those on TV, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube. They recorded and studied emotional responses, eye-tracking and exit surveys. MediaScience found Snapchat ads garnered twice the visual attention of Facebook, and 1.5 times more than Instagram. They were also 1.3 times more effective than YouTube. When compared to those platforms and TV, Snapchat claims that its ads generate greater emotional response and twice as much intent to purchase.<\/p>\n So how can your brand use Snapchat on the daily?<\/p>\n You don’t have to jump straight into creating a profile or pushing ads, if it doesn’t make sense for your brand. For many, influencer partnerships are a great way to authentically reach a niche audience without having to build a following on Snapchat yourself. Grab a notable influencer in your industry, provide them with a special offer to share only on Snapchat and see the results. There are so many great ways to target an audience here and get a return on your efforts — and that’s just one of the many ideas.<\/p>\n Here are some core approaches many brands have seen success with:<\/p>\n Exclusive Offers: Customer Service: Special Announcements: Influencer Partnerships: Brand Success<\/p>\n <\/strong>Taco Bell has gone above and beyond keeping a constant presence organically with their Snapchat lens approach.
