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.
