A Comprehensive Guide to Snapchat for Campus Bookstores

For an audience of young millennials and Gen Z, Snapchat is a great way to advertise. Snapchat gives students a seemingly more private way to stay connected. Built on instant gratification, a greater sense of privacy and whimsical filters, it quickly became a favorite social platform for students. For campus bookstores, it can be a fun way to interact with your audience. To enhance your bookstore social media, we’ve created this comprehensive guide to Snapchat specifically for college stores.

Our store’s relationship with MBS has been extremely beneficial. We’ve gotten the total package through our partnership — everything we use is integrated. No matter what goal we’ve tried to accomplish, we’ve always gone through MBS.
