Snapchat Ads
GROW YOUR ENGAGEMENT USING SNAPCHAT ADS
If you want to create engaging experiences for the mobile generation, then you need to advertise on Snapchat. Brands and content creators use Snapchat ads to promote stories that engage and excite a highly mobile audience. With 166 million daily active users, over 50% of which are aged 25 and older, Snapchat provides one of the best ways to reach individuals age 13 to 34 on their mobile devices.
Here are three reasons why you need to advertise on Snapchat.
DIGITAL ADVERTISING IS GROWING
Businesses are spending more on digital advertising every year. In fact, total online spend is expected to increase from $151 billion in 2015 to $204 billion in 2018. Digital advertising is growing because consumers spend more time online via computers and mobile devices and digital advertising provides many targeting advantages unlike traditional advertising.

Although most of Snapchat’s users are of the younger generation, more than 50% of its new daily users are aged 25 and over. Even if your audience doesn’t fall in that demographic, Snapchat is still becoming a vital part of global marketing strategies.
SNAPCHAT USERS ARE ACTIVE AND ENGAGED ON MOBILE
Snapchatters, 60% of which create over 3 billion snaps every day, view one billion geofilters and more than 10 billion videos each day. Plus, Snapchat has 166 million daily active users who visit the app 18 times each day and share 8,796 photos every second. It would take you ten years to view all the photos shared on Snapchat in the last hour. But Snapchat users aren’t just taking Snaps. They’re consuming branded content—a lot of it.

What is Snapchat?
Snapchat, founded in 2011 by Evan Spiegel and Bobby Murphy, is a mobile app that allows users to “snap” a video or photo as a means of communication with other users. Snapchat allows users to monitor their chats or to follow stories they find interesting.
Snapchat’s rise in popularity as a social network was primarily influenced by the new trend of communicating with rather than curating pictures and videos. Unlike traditional social media, which, by curating all content, provides a “social identity” in regards to everything a user has ever done, Snapchat allows users to instantly express their feelings and share their normal, day-to-day lives.
The company’s first blog post stated that “Snapchat isn’t about capturing the traditional Kodak moment. It’s about communicating with the full range of human emotion—not just what appears to be pretty or perfect.”
Why you should care about Snapchat
Although there are many reasons why you should advertise on Snapchat (people spend 25 to 30 minutes every day on the app; Snapchat has two times higher visual attention than comparable platforms; it has five times the swipe-up rate,), there are three that stand out.
SNAPCHAT HAS A LARGE AUDIENCE
Snapchat’s user base is made up of people ages 13 to 34. Although Snapchat’s users are mostly of the younger generation, it also has users with more purchasing power: people who are aged 25 and older. Currently, more than 50% of Snapchat’s new daily users are aged 25 and older
SNAPCHAT IS A CREATIVE SPACE
Snapchat allows brands to creatively tell their stories. It doesn’t matter if these stories are for consumers or professionals—all stories have an audience. On Snapchat you can watch new product releases, press releases, exclusive coupons, behind-the-scenes content, new team member introductions, and many other events from companies. Snapchat allows and encourages brands to be honest and creative, making it stand out from other platforms.
SNAPCHAT CREATES RELATIONSHIPS
No matter what your business does to generate revenue, there are multiple ways in which you can use Snapchat to create unique content for your niche audience. For example, if you own a restaurant, go behind the scenes and give secrets and insights into the recipes. If you’re an artist, take your fans on the behind-the-scenes life. Snapchat is the perfect opportunity to form a real relationship with your customer.
What you need to know about Snapchat vertical videos
All video ads on Snapchat must adhere to the following creative requirements:
-
Vertical screen
-
Audio on
-
Fullscreen
Although the creative requirements require additional investment on video editing, Snapchat claims that its vertical ads can perform up to nine times better than traditional letterboxed mobile ads.
If Snapchat rejects your ad, you can adjust creative based on rejection reasons and resubmite
Introducing Snap Ads
Snapchat ads always appear natively in the form of premium or curated content. Snapchat advertising offers what competitors scramble to mimic: 3V advertising. It provides the following aspects for advertisers:
Vertical-made exclusively for mobile, vertical ad formats fill up the entire phone screen.
Video-video ads are the best way to tell a story in a mobile-centric world.
Views-because Snapchat ads are always full screen on mobile devices, they enhance the video viewing experience.
