By now it is pretty clear that video is the go-to medium for millennials and Gen Z. WithSnapchat reaching 75% of this demographic if you want to pitch your product or service to this demographic, Snapchat ads are the way to go.
However, investing in Snapchat Ads is only worthwhile if you can monitor the success of each campaign and adjust your efforts accordingly. While some of this can be done with their native analytics platform, relying solely on that leaves out a big part of the picture. With Databox, you will not only be able to track and visualize your data and gain deeper insights into your Snapchat Ads campaigns, but also compare the results to other social media efforts that you are currently making.
A custom social media dashboard is also a great solution for the data you are tracking on your other social media.

This has led to people reporting that they feel happy and safe creating content on this platform and engaging with it. What this translates into is happier users, and that makes for more willing customers. It is as simple as that.
