How YOUR Business Can Use Snapchat for Marketing

You only have 5 minutes to read this article before it destroys itself.
As marketers, we have been taught to keep our eyes of the far and the distant – i.e. build brand over time; make many memorable impressions; and create something that actually becomes the part of the cultural sphere that will take your product to the next level along the way.
So why would self-destroying ads – ads that only have life span of few seconds – be the next biggest thing in the marketing industry? There are certainly few benefits of using Snapchat to introduce new products, give a unique voice and personality to your company, and separate yourself from the crowd.

How small business can use Snapchat:

  1. Launch new products: –
Taco Bell uses Snapchat really well. They have several employees display their new products through several snaps, thereby, creating a Snapchat story of the product and why should people go and check it out as soon as possible.
Taco Bell uses Snapchat well because they talk in the language of their primary audience – teens and millennials in the 16-35 age bracket. They often use emoticons, which is the preferred way of texting messages of the 18-35 age groups. Therefore, if you use formal language without seeming desperate or snobbish, most users will not bother engaging with your brand at all.
  1. Provide quick video answers to customers questions/issues:
Snapchat allows you to quickly communicate with your customers and provide assistance in real time with 2-10 seconds photos or videos, which many companies are not doing yet.
Let us say a customer snaps a photo of your product saying he/she cannot open it from its package, saying it is too difficult to unwrap. You can span a photo or create a 10 seconds long video showing them exactly how to do that, which not only answer their question, but also makes you appear someone who cares about his/her customers.
