This blog will explore the rise of social media stories, their impact on digital marketing, and how Reach First can help businesses leverage this trend.
Social Media Stories: The Rise of Social Media Stories
Snapchat introduced Stories in 2013 – a way for users to share images and videos that will disappear after 24 hours. The temporary nature of the stories sparked interest and curiosity among users, leading them to adopt it quickly. Instagram adopted reports in 2016, and Facebook followed shortly after that. These platforms enabled businesses to showcase products, services, and behind-the-scenes moments in an authentic and timely way.
Engage on Stories
Stories’ popularity is due to their ability to increase engagement at unprecedented levels. These posts are short-lived, which creates an urgency that encourages users to check in frequently so they don’t miss out. Interactive features such as polls, quizzes, and swipe-ups keep audiences engaged and allow businesses to get real-time feedback.
Snapchat: the pioneer of ephemeral content
Snapchat has revolutionized how we share content. Snapchat set the bar for other platforms by introducing stories. Snapchat’s audience is primarily younger, which makes it a great platform for brands that are targeting this demographic. Snapchat accounts can be used by businesses to showcase exclusive deals, show behind-the-scenes glimpses, and build a following.
