Snapchat releases "Snapcodes"
Snapchat will now allow businesses to create their own unique “Snapcode”. But first, what is a Snapcode?
Snapcodes allows the users to add Snapchat business accounts by scanning a QR code which will direct them to the specific account they want to follow. Snapcodes are a new promotional tool for businesses who want to reach their online community. Follow these steps to get started.
- Go to “Settings”
- Select “Snapcode”
- Once selected, you may now choose “Create Snapcode”
A Snapcode uses images (whether it be a selfie, images from your phone’s camera, GIF, vector, etc.) instead of a URL. This feature will not only benefit businesses, but also public figures as well. Try it out now!
