Snapchat is the most vivid, instant and unique way to connect with new and potential clients. It is visual, it is fun and it is interactive. This makes it a fantastic marketing tool for salon owners to put their business at the forefront of a user's mind. But best of all, it is the ultimate platform to reach young people on as Connor Keppel from our marketing team explains in this video. Phorest is the first salon software in the world to integrate with Snapchat!

6. What Your Clients See When They Click Link in SMS
   When your customers click the link in your SMS, they will be brought to Snapchat and with one tap they can 'Add Friend' i.e. that's YOU! If they don't have Snapchat, they will be brought to the App Store to download the Snapchat app first.
