ShopStyle empowers Snapchat by tapping it to the ecommerce powergrid

Tuesday 30 June 2015 11:08 CET | News

SnapChat, a messaging app, is partnering with the search engine ShopStyle, which is using five style bloggers to create Snapchat stories on what they are wearing, in an effort to drive traffic to a “shop Snapchat” store on ShopStyle’s website.

ShopStyle has partnered with FarFetch for a marketing campaign that entails the creating of Snapchat stories on what they are wearing including captions with links to ShopStyle’s Snapchat store landing page, e-commercefacts.com reports.

Style bloggers and influencers are shifting from Instagram to the disappearing message website because Snapchat is seen as a more casual platform for engagement with their audience. Influencers are able to show the audience a more personal and human touch than a brand account. Bloggers are migrating their followers to snapchat from more traditional platforms like Instagram.

For brands, which are less human bloggers’ accounts are a smart place to promote product on Snapchat. After the investments of Alibaba in Snapchat earlier in 2015, this is the networks next move towards ecommerce.
