Set Your Business Up for Success

Generate a Snap App ID

Your Snap App ID allows you to create audiences based on your data, measure your ads effectively, and optimize your campaigns. Simply retrieve your code and paste it into your approved mobile measurement partner (MMP) dashboard.

Set up and manage your Snap ID.

Track Smarter with App Attribution

Use an MMP to see what Snapchatters do on your app after they complete your designated event. You can also use SKAdNetwork, an attribution framework created by Apple, to track app activity on iOS 14+ devices.

Find out how to set up SKAdNetwork.

Build a Customer List

With Custom Audiences like a Customer List, you can begin to incorporate your existing data (CRM info, subscribers, sign ups, etc.) into your campaigns. Then, you can easily retarget or exclude customers from future campaigns.

Create your app’s Customer List Audience.

Follow Our Best Practices for Simple Ad Creation

Single Image or Video Ads are full screen ad formats that are easy to create and give you the creative freedom to communicate your unique message.

#1  Keep Your Ad Short

Get your message across in the first three seconds. Keep your logo visible.

#2  Make It Authentic

Create your ad on your mobile device so it resembles a Snap.

#3  Encourage an Action

Prompt your audience to take a specific action like Swipe Up or Buy.

#4  Consider Audio

Try using audio. Two-thirds of Snaps are played with the sound on.³

#5  Focus On One Message

Use one clear hero message and call to action for your product, brand, or service.
