Snapchat Ads Tips and Best Practices

  • Big captions, bold text because sound is often OFF.

  • Say the benefit first, brand second. Users care about themselves, not you.

  • Use Gen Z language lightly. Be cool, not try-hard. Типа casually cool 😎

  • Ideal length: 5–7 seconds. Fast dopamine, fast exits.

  • Show the product in action ASAP. No mystery novels.

  • Loop-friendly videos = cheaper CPMs. Sneaky but effective.


💡  TIPS:

  • Refresh creatives every 7–10 days. Fatigue hits fast.
