Ways to Use Snapchat to Promote, Advertise and Market Your Business

1. Provide Access to Live Events
You can use Snapchat to promote product launches and trade shows or those one off events your business might hold like the 1,000th customer to walk through your door or something. You can provide a view of what's going on at the event through snaps of that event.

2. Deliver Private Content.
Using Snapchat, you can provide special, personalized content to people that they might not be able to get on any other platform. Just think up something that would appeal to their interests and be unique to them which you can surprise them with.

3. Run Contests and Promotions.
You can keep your followers on Snapchat coming back for more by running competitions, contests and even giveaways. You could even offer special promo codes via Snapchat only or discount codes to those that do follow you. One way to do that is to get them to take a snap of your product while they are holding it.

4. Show Behind the Scenes.
Proving behind the scenes stuff is a great way to show people the internal workings of your business. Whether it's simple shop floor or a full level. It will help to create buzz and build a following by people who trust in you since you're not hiding anything about the way you work. You could also capture things like office parties, dress down days, social events and outings and the like.

5. Partner Up with Influencers.
If you can partner up with those bigger, influential businesses in your niche, you'll be able to create more awareness about your business through them, and likewise, they will through you too.

Nice article Mike! Personally, I knew Snapchat had grown into something big, I just didn't realize the scale of daily users. Snapchat (just like Instagram and Facebook) has provided a whole new realm of brand/business promotion and marketing. Instagram, however, is slightly different, mainly due to the fact that accounts can be publicly viewed. For Snapchat, someone has to manually add that account to view its story. So it's one extra step for that customer/consumer/participant. As of current, I have not implemented Snapchat into growing my brand. This article has, however, inspired me to be creative and innovative taking advantage of Snapchat in the near future because of the mass audience alone!

Thanks for the tips, I will give snapchat a try, although I'm not a fan of apps that can't be used on a computer, and I just started using Instagram, but I can see growth in my business from just a few months of Instagram, and it seems like Snapchat is the new Instagram, and it's growing everyday.

I have never used snapchat. I even don't know what it is, even though I have heard the name. I have an impression that snapchat is VOIP and image and video sharing platform. However, the statistics related to snapchat that has been shared here are impression.
100 million daily active users means we can reach to the large community
8 billion daily video views means our video marketing campaign can become a success.
9000 photos shared every second means this platform is more popular than other similar platforms.

Contests and competitions can definitely attract attention. Some forums that are dying conduct contests that revive their forums. However, a contest should have sense and relevance. I have seen contests that are nonsensical which, in effect, only ruins the attraction of the forum. In other words, a contest should be neatly-crafted that is meant to stir the interest of your connections. And as expected, the rewards should be substantial.
