The benefits and features include higher conversion rates and open rates, as well as affordability and that cool factor so important to young people.

This simple photo-sharing app has been a huge success and is a powerful tool for online advertising. The app’s unique filters are a great marketing tool. Regular users may see the brand-specific filters appear in their menu. I remember during Rio that there were a lot of Olympic themed filters available for free. Snapchat users can promote the sponsors’ brands for them. This app is a sure-fire hit and the company has recently announced that it will introduce behavioral targeting in late 2016.
