Snapchat
Ads
Snapchat is a popular social media app among young people that allows users to share photos and videos with their friends and followers. The app is known for its unique features, including filters, lenses, and stories, which can all be leveraged by advertisers as well. Snapchat also offers a range of other features, including messaging, news, and entertainment content. Snapchat ads are a great way to create awareness for your brand among teens and young adults.
What is
Snapchat Ads?
Snapchat basically offers full funnel campaign objectives, from awareness to catalog sales. The app offers unique advertising formats like AR lenses, with which users can enhance their face through facial recognition, and filters. Furthermore, there are the more standard advertising formats like stories and collection ads.
New audiences on Snapchat can be reached through demographic targeting or by targeting certain predefined lifestyles, such as “Dance & Electronic Music Fans”. When using the Snapchat pixel, you can also create custom audiences like website visitors and use these for retargeting or to create lookalikes. Also notable is the possibility to purchase filters and lenses on a geographical basis. This can be interesting if, for instance, you want to make a custom filter for your festival available to everyone on the festival terrain.
Why would you
advertise on
Snapchat Ads?
As mentioned, Snapchat offers a number of unique ad formats with which you can make your brand stand out, such as filters and lenses. One of the great advantages of this is that the shareability is big. For instance, if you buy a filter for a festival terrain and it’s used by 40 people who each have a reach of 100 people, your total reach could be 4000. This way you also reach your actual audience’s network for free.
By far the biggest advantage of Snapchat is that along with TikTok it’s the platform par excellence for reaching teenagers and young adults up to 24 years old. Not only do they use Snapchat for sending photos and videos, but also as a messaging app, leading to high daily use.
