Well, one more social media tool has been in trend since its launch.

Snapchat is a social media tool that was launched in 2011.

Snapchat was meant for fun. The featured it has and the post that other brand upload is very funny, casual and gives a sense of personalization.

Many use Twitter to break a news or announce something official. It is said that Snapchat is going to the next platform soon where there will be new breaking. No doubt, Twitter is still a great platform for breaking news but Snapchat is going to break the barrier soon. Next time try uploading a video, image, or something great and see the response to it.

The feature of video interaction in Snapchat helps to communicate with the audience directly. It can be a great way to communicate with a customer, announce giveaways, offers, and discount on a video. Even helping a customer deal with some problem via a video can be very influential. Therefore, this platform is also the best for customer service and to advertise a product.
