Snapchat To Give Marketers Access To User Location
Do you always feel like someone’s watching you? You’re not alone.
Popular photo and video sharing platform Snapchat has recently unveiled a new marketing feature titled “Snap To Store.”
The clever ad product allows marketers to develop custom ad filters which then provides complete user tracking feedback, such as the number of times users viewed and interacted with a filter as well as how many times users actually visited the promoted location.
Popular chains Wendy’s and 7-Eleven have already experienced great success with the beta versions of the feature.
Now that’s what we like to call fast cash in a snap!
