10.5 million ad views for under $20? Yep. It happened.
Snapchat Geofilters are the subject of this week's digital marketing success story. Chris Hall at Kickster shows any business how it's done.
5. Snapchat is a phone only app that allows
businesses to share photos or videos.
When a Snapchat user takes a picture or video,
they swipe leH or right on the screen to access
a library of designs that lay over top the picture
or video.
Availability of these overlay designs is based on
the user’s geographic loca1on. They are called
Snapchat Geofilters.

Holland, MI so
this filter is
available.
7. Any business can adver1se on
Snapchat by designing and sharing
their own On-‐Demand Geofilter (for
a trade show, conference, community
event, grand opening, sale etc…).

8. It is important to note that On-‐Demand
Geofilters can only be shared for a
limited 1me. Snapchat requires selec1ng
a specific number of days and 1mes
within those days when your company’s
On-‐Demand Geofilter will be available.

9. When a Snapchat user is in a geographic loca1on
where a company’s On-‐Demand Geofilter is
available, the user can select that design from the
Geofilter library and overlay it on their picture or
video, to their followers.
This user has just adverBsed on behalf of that
company.

downloads aHer the On-‐Demand Geofilter

Why Was This On-‐Demand Geofilter EffecBve?
14. 1. Highly targeted at the aQendees and the celebrity
headlining the event — “We The Best” is DJ
Khaled’s brand and “Major key” is a catch phrase
he uses (no1ce the key on the geofilter picture).
2. Designed so event aQendees would want to
share it.
3. Really cheap at $17.54 and garnered 10.5 million

15. DJ Khaled used Chris’ On-‐Demand Geofilter more than
once at the event and since he has over 6 million
followers, the views of the On-‐Demand Geofilter
skyrocketed.
Chris con1nued to target DJ Khaled events and
concerts in which he performed during Beyonce’s
Forma1on Tour. He kept the design similar while only
changing the city.
At the end of the tour, his On-‐Demand Geofilters had
amassed over 95 million views.
