10. Since 2013, users can also send their Snaps to their Stories.
A type of sharing that allows users to build chains of
shared content that can be viewed an unlimited number of
times over a 24-hour period.
32. #1 Account setup
To be able to do a successful Snapchat
Marketing program, you need:
•A mobile device that can instal the latest version
of Snapchat (Android or IOS)
•E-mail Address
•Phone number (optional security)
•Password
•Username
33. #1 Account setup
E-mail address
•You want to use an email address that will be used solely
for Snapchat purposes.
•If you’re a small business, you should have no issue using
your own email to create an account. If you’re a large
company, you will want to create a specialised email
address (snapchat@yourbusinessname.com)
34. #1 Account setup
Password
•I’m not going to preach about the importance of having a
secure password but it’s extremely important on
Snapchat
•If someone hacks your account, they could do a lot of
damage sending offside content directly to your followers
35. #1 Account setup
Username
•This is the most important element when setting up your
Snapchat account
•Your username is the @username that people will use to
send Snaps to you and is used to add you to their friends
list on Snapchat
•Consider branding your username with your business
name or with your real name if you’re an individual
•It’s also a good idea to keep some consistency between
your Snapchat name and your other social handles
36. #1 Account setup
Take Away
•Even if you’re not going to use Snapchat right away, sign
up and own your username
•If you don’t, you could find yourself in a situation where
someone else signs up with your name and you’re unable
to get it without a legal battle or paying top dollar for it

Snap Map lets you share your current
location, which appears to friends on a
map and updates when you open
Snapchat.

with all your friends, a few friends you

map at any time by going into Ghost
Mode.

Or not opening Snapchat for a few
hours. Alternatively, location sharing is
turned off by default and you can
leave it that way to just lurk, watching
what friends are up to.
To access the Snap Map, you pinch on your
Snapchat camera home screen. From there you
can scroll around to see where friends are in
your city or around the world. Tapping on their
“ActionMoji” BitMoji avatar opens their Story.
Or lets you message them directly to make
meetup plans. Snapchat automatically picks an
ActionMoji for you based on your location, time of
day and other factors.
61. Outside of the location-sharing
element, Snap Map also gives users an
alternative way to discover Story
content beyond the well-worn Stories
feed and the powerful but
buried Story Search feature.

Users can submit Snapchat Story
posts to Our Story to be eligible for
their content to appear to non-friends
for around 24 hours.
You also can see “heat” colours on the
Snap Map to see where lots of Snaps
are being uploaded, which might
indicate a concert or big event from
which you’d want to explore Snap
Stories.
Snap tells that Snap Map is designed
for enhancing connections between
people and their closest friends —
engagement that makes up nearly 60
percent of interactions on Snapchat
according to data from Sparkler that
was commissioned by Snap.
63. Settings You Need As A Brand
Snapchat for a brand is
different from Snapchat for a person.
As an individual, you worry about
things like privacy, who has the
ability to send you content, and
of course, who can see the content
you share.
64. Settings You Need As A Brand
Snapchat for a brand is
different from Snapchat for a person.
You want to ensure that EVERYONE can view your stories.
Initially that sounds odd but for a business - It’s actually very
important.
You want to ensure that anyone who has added you to Snapchat
can look at your stories because it’s only going to be a matter
of time until your contact list is so full that you’re unable to
scroll through and select every single person as the recipient
of your snaps.
