How to use Snapchat for business
What is Snapchat?
Snapchat is an app that allows you to send photo messages and videos. Once the recipient has opened the message it self destructs after 10 seconds. Although the majority of users are between 13 and 25 snapchat is growing and growing fast with 60 million snaps being shared each day. That’s a lot of messages it’s no wonder business owners are embracing this new world of advertising.
 
 Here are a few ideas to get your business snapping:
1) Say hello- just saying a quick hello can make followers feel important to your business
 
2) Have a flash sale- let your customers know about a sale and snap them a coupon or keyword to cash in.
 
3) Share secrets- share a secret offer or item with your snapchat followers. If your business is a restaurant or coffee shop snap a special dish or drink on the menu that is only available that day.
 
4) Get followers to send you a specific snap to get a discount or prize
 
5) Grow your followers- get your snapchat followers to get their friends to follow you; have each new friend send a snap to verify then reward them all with a freebie
 
6) Give your followers a quick peek what goes on behind the scenes of your business e.g. show them a new product that is launching
 
7) Special events- showcase a special event that your company is attending; if you’re a company in the wedding market are you attending any wedding fairs? Let your followers in on the fun by showing highlights of the day.
 
8) Create a contest-  offer prizes for the first snapchat received or leave out a word and let followers snap the missing word in return for discount
 
Without a doubt minimalist marketing and short copywriting are on trend right now and with fast moving technology along with web users short attention span it’s a trend that here to stay.
