I'll be honest, when someone first suggested I look into Snapchat for marketing, I wasn’t sold. There are so many great social media platforms that are perfect for ecommerce sellers, from Instagram and Facebook to TikTok – all with their own sales capabilities. Snapchat seems a little underwhelming. But, if there’s one thing I’ve learned about ecommerce marketing, is that success doesn’t come from staying where you feel comfortable – it comes from following your audience to wherever they are.

An out-of-stock item triggers a scramble.
