The Power Of Snapchat For Affiliate Marketing
Snapchat has many advantages over other social platforms for affiliate marketing, including the ability only to show ads to interested users, giving the user control over the ad experience by skipping ads they’re not interested in, and allowing you to deliver your ads to an already engaged audience. Affiliate marketers are well-equipped to take advantage of Snapchat’s targeting abilities, which let you put content directly into the hands of those most likely to enjoy it.
While it’s true that Instagram and Facebook Ads have a larger reach, with over 500 million people watching stories daily, advertising on smaller platforms like Snapchat still has advantages and provides less advertiser competition. This makes it one of the best platforms to expand your business and start experimenting with Snapchat Ads for affiliate marketing.
An important aspect you must consider is that Snapchat affiliate sales tracking and integration will only work if you lead the user to your own landing page or website where you have placed your affiliate links. Conversions coming from direct linking campaigns cannot be integrated by our system.
