The content that you are going to create on Snapchat has to be adapted to this social network and directed to your audience.
An excellent tool for reaching your target audience with creative content is through the lens. With this you invite them to participate in the conversation and make them feel part of a community.
What are the lenses? There are different types of lenses that you can put on your posts and chats.
- Face glasses are well known as they can turn you into something different and even change your voice.
- Ambient lenses allow you to change the world around you and bring characters to life.
- Snapcode lenses are what we see in products and events that we can scan and discover a lens that can be worn for a limited time.
- The Explorer lenses are what lead us to discover thousands of lenses created by users.
- Lens challenges allow you to create and submit Snaps with a unique themed Lens for an activity or event.
- Snappables are a special type of Lens that allows you to do activities with your friends.
