Many businesses have become well versed in using Facebook and Twitter for marketing their companies and products, but may not be as familiar with Snapchat. Don’t miss out on a huge potential audience, since there are about [4 billion views a day](http://www.adweek.com/news/technology/here-are-6-new-snapchat-stats-show-why-marketers-want-inside-walled-garden-167629) on Snapchat.

Snapchat’s main focus is sending photo and video messages, and it can be a powerful way for your business to stand out from the competition.

The following are five effective ways businesses can market through Snapchat:

1. #### Show a Behind-the-Scenes Glimpse
   
   Let users have a look behind the scenes, giving them an insiders’ view of your company. This type of content is ideally suited to Snapchat, and it humanizes your company while creating a bond with your viewers and customers.
   
   The NFL’s [Philadelphia Eagles](http://www.csnphilly.com/football-eagles/yes-the-eagles-have-a-snapchat-account) utilize Snapchat quite effectively in this way by taking viewers into the locker room and offering a behind-the-scenes view of game preparations.
2. #### Offer Exclusive Promotions
   
   Since Snapchat users must accept you as a friend before you can send them content, why not reward that loyalty in a buzz-worthy way? This can help increase sales as well as keep your viewers and customers coming back for more.
   
   Frozen yogurt chain 16 Handles [rewarded their customers](http://adage.com/article/digital/brands-experiment-photo-messaging-service-snapchat-facebook-poke/238979/) with a unique discount of varying amounts through Snapchat. Customers could learn the exact discount and redeem it by opening the snap at a 16 Handles register.
3. #### Partner with Influencers
   
   Today’s definition of celebrity has expanded beyond movie or TV stars to include [Snapchat celebrities](http://www.forbes.com/sites/ellenhuet/2014/07/23/snapchat-celebrity-advertising). By partnering with Snapchat influencers that reach the demographic you’re looking for, you can promote your company and products to a targeted audience and expand your following.
   
   Taco Bell and Disney have partnered with Shaun McBride ("[Shonduras](http://shonduras.com/)"), who creates intricate Snapchat art. He promotes their companies through branded content that has an authentic feel, so it’s more likely to be watched and acted upon.
4. #### Sponsor Giveaways
   
   Giveaways are always popular, and companies who conduct them through Snapchat can take advantage of the app’s time-limit feature to create a sense of urgency. Promote the giveaway on other social media platforms, and let Snapchat users submit their information through the app. You can ask them to snap a photo while using your product, invite friends to join in, and more.
   
   GrubHub created a successful week-long [scavenger hunt](http://blog.grubhub.com/food-and-fun/potluck/the-snaphunt-is-o/), posting daily challenges for followers to complete. Ten winners a day were rewarded with $50 in free GrubHub takeout.
5. #### Deliver Exclusive Previews
   
   Everyone likes to get the scoop before anyone else, and Snapchat provides a great way for companies to give their viewers advance content. This effectively creates interest and makes their viewers feel rewarded.
   
   Fashion designer Rebecca Minkoff used the app to give an [advance look](http://footwearnews.com/2014/business/news/snapchat-lights-up-nyfw-144241/) at her new collection prior to New York Fashion Week. This pleasantly surprised fans and gave them content that wasn’t yet available on other platforms.
