Snapchat, the social network app that has over 300 million monthly active users is still holding on with an active userbase, despite Facebook and Instagram’s take on the Stories feature. The likely reason for this ongoing success of the platform is due to the age range of the users utilising the app and the fact their parents aren’t likely to be on it, as compared to Facebook.
This means if your business is looking to target an age range of 18 – 24-year-olds, Snapchat is an ideal platform to consider, since 78% of their US userbase is within that age range. There are also many benefits of using Snapchat for businesses, some of which include the ability to target millennials and the Z-Generation with lenses.
We’ve highlighted 19 of the most useful Snapchat statistics to know. Hopefully, these stats will come in handy for your 2019 marketing campaigns.
Without further ado, here they are!
