The numbers are impressive. #Snapchat boasts over 100 million daily active users and over 10 billion daily video views, per internal data. The social network is becoming a key player in the future of digital marketing.
Since its launch in 2011 this ephemeral network has grown rapidly, especially among the digital native generation of mobile-only users. It is an in-your-face, intimate social media platform with an enviable level of engagement.
Snapchat is the network in which the brand seeks the user to send a personalized message and speak in codes he/she understands. It is a network that has achieved what advertising has been yearning for the past 100 years: one-to-one connections.
Its fresh take on content generation with pictures or 10-second video snaps that disappear within a 24-hour timeframe has changed how we use social media and revolutionized how we watch videos – now vertically and mobile. This represents a huge opportunity for marketers and advertisers. It provides a valuable space to interact and connect with your audience personally and authentically.
Being that Snapchat is a preferred network for young people, it is also the place to go to tap the highly coveted Millennial demographic. This segment is becoming increasingly harder to find through other channels.
63% of #Snapchat users are between 13 and 24 years old, according to data provided by the company.

And although the younger users may not necessarily have bank accounts or credit cards, they often create trends, decide on purchases and influence the consumer decisions of their parents.
Why include Snapchat in your marketing strategy?
- Create brand awareness: Snapchat effectively builds exposure for your business and communicates brand values through storytelling. Bring your brand presence to life and provide your audience content of value–leverage video snaps to share quick tutorials and/or tips and product demonstrations, for example.
- Humanize your business: Transparency is key to connecting with your customers on an authentic level and Snapchat provide just this. Post behind-the-scenes footage from your business and show the day-to-day activities customers don’t typically get to see.
- Incentivize customers: Get customers involved and encourage them to act. Offer live coverage from one of your events, sneak previews of upcoming products or services, and run giveaways and contests.
