Five Ways to Grow Your Business

For the longest time now I have contemplated creating and running my own business. If not have my own, I want to work building up smaller businesses. I found this interesting article on SocialMedia Today that shows five ways Snapchat can help you grow your business. It is well known that social media marketing is a growing network for businesses. But did you know that you can now add Snapchat to your list of ways to grow your business?

Snapchat has become one of the fastest growing social apps. With their main demographic being people between the ages of 13 and 34. many of these users also are on other social media apps and share their snaps on other networks.

Here are five things you may not have known that Snapchat provided for you and your growing business.

1.       Provide Something Unique

Snapchat does not allow you much time to display all things you might want to convey to your viewers. This may seem come across as a problem but it just opens a way for your company to dig into the creative side and share just key or exciting things about the business that they may not originally get to see.

2.      Teaser Content

This goes along with being unique. Use that 10-minute window as a teaser for the viewers. Show small amounts of what is to come for the business. If you keep the content funny and surprising, you can create a whirlwind through media and people will begin to spread it through word of mouth.

3.      Offers and Promotions

Snapchat can become a great way of advertisement for your business. It also opens the opportunity to send out offers and discount codes to customers.

4.      Tell a Story

The ‘Stories’ feature gives you the opportunity to share a story for a 24-hour period. Here you can display a story or events from the day giving your customers insight to what goes on during a typical day at your business.

5.      Giveaways

When you first create your Snapchat presence you want people to add you. You can easily get this by giving away tickets, but saying to have the opportunity to win the customers need to add you on snapchat.

I hope you could learn from this just like I did. I think it is a great thing to consider especially if you are looking to have your own business or work for a business that is trying to grow.
