Are you targeting millennials & Gen Z? If so, you may want to consider adding Snapchat Ads to the mix. This elusive demographic can not be found as easily on Facebook or Instagram, so it’s important to reach them where they are. Over 229 million people use Snapchat for over 30 minutes every day.
After reading this post you should have a pretty solid understanding of what snapchat ads look like & how you can target your audience on their platform for as little as $5 a day.
Snapchat Ads Targeting
In addition to basic demographic targeting (location, age, gender), Snapchat Ads Manager gives you the option to plug into third-party data from Datalogix and Experian. These partnerships give you the tools to tap into advanced demographic targeting to reach users based on the following information:
- Income
- Education
- Marital Status
- Parental Status
- Life Events (New Parent, Recently Married, etc)
- Occupation
Additionally, Snapchat offers the ability to create custom audiences based on behavior on your website, information available in your customer lists, and the actions they take with your ads.
