Snapchat for Business: How to Nurture Your Audience

Part 7 of The Social Media Strategy Series

“Should I be on Snapchat?” It’s one of the most frequent questions I get from small business owners. There’s a lot of excitement about this new and unique platform—with good reason. But a lot of it is just hype, too. So how can you make a good decision for you and your business?

Like anything in business, you want to do it with a strategy behind it. Snapchat provides an opportunity for you to show a side of your business that’s more personal—that there are real people in your company, doing real things.

And I though I couldn’t remember while I was recording the episode, I researched it a bit—and I think this is where I first heard the concept, “Snapchat is not a platform to grow your audience. It’s a platform to nurture your already-existing audience.”

I’m quoting from an article called, “Snapchat is NOT for Everyone — Don’t Believe the Hype…Here’s Why” by Dakota Shane Nunley. I wanted to make sure that I credited this properly.
