What’s the Ideal Posting Frequency on Snapchat?

For 2023, the ideal posting frequency on Snapchat sits at 4 to 7 snaps per day, best fired off between 10 p.m. and 1 a.m.

“Our data reveals that Snapchat’s audience is predominantly active late into the night, making it the prime time for businesses to post,” states our Head of Social, Alexus Brittain.

It’s a seven-day affair on this platform, as users engage consistently throughout the week. Keep in mind, however, that you’re primarily reaching an 18-to-24-year-old crowd during these hours.

If you want to cash-in on those early time slots without sacrificing your REM cycle, scheduling your Snapchat content is the way to go. Create a free Vista Social account to get started. 

Can You Repurpose Content Across Platforms?

Yes, and with less hassle than you’d think.

Snapchat’s specs are strikingly similar to the 9:16 ratio found in Reels and TikToks. This makes repurposing your visual content a breeze.

When you use Vista Social’s cross-platform media customization, you’re no longer confined to a one-size-fits-all approach.

Whether you’re batch-processing media across multiple networks or tailoring each post, we’ve got you covered.

The result? Your brand message not only fits each platform’s unique format but also resonates with its specific audience for maximum impact.

Forget the hassle; with Vista Social, it’s about streamlined efficiency and powerful engagement.

Is Snapchat Suitable for B2B Brands?

Absolutely!

Audiences are drifting from big social networks, opting for more personalized experiences. It’s a mass exodus caused by ad-overload and brand-first algorithms.

The perk? Snapchat shines in this space, providing those bite-sized, intimate interactions people now crave.

Take IBM, for instance. They use Snapchat to give exclusive tours and behind-the-scenes looks at events. Even better, they sync it with a Twitter campaign to really pump up their reach.

Then there’s HubSpot. A whole different ballgame. They’re using Snapchat as a recruitment channel, allowing a deeper dive into company culture than any interview could offer.

Bottom line: If you’re a B2B brand looking for a personal touch, Snapchat’s more than just a viable platform—it’s a smart move.
