Custom Geofilters

Snapchat is one of the most popular forms of social media today, and is constantly improving. Geofilters are part of this improvement, and what Snapchat is known for having. What is a Geofilter you may ask. Geofilters are special overlays that communicate the "where and when" of a Snap in a fun way, whether you're sending it to a friend or adding it to "Your Story". 

I really enjoy this feature especially when I'm in a cool place like the Bahamas or Alaska. It lets my followers know what I'm doing and where I'm doing it. Geofilters can also be customized! This is good for weddings, birthday parties, or any special occasion. It is almost like having your own hashtag on other social media sites. Maybe some of you are now interested in how to create your own Geofilter. Well, let me tell you how!

1. Go to the On-Demand Geofilters page.
2. Click on the Create Now button.
3. You will be asked to log into your SnapChat account.
4. You will be asked to download templates and read the submission guidelines 
5. Use these templates to create your On-Demand GeoFilter
6. Add your texts or logos and create it in whatever way you like
7. Upload it to Snapchat after saving the file to see what it would look like
8. When it is finished, choose next to choose the time and dates you want your filter on
9. Draw a geofence around the areas you want your filter to reach
10. Your filter will then go into review, and you will receive an email confirmation

However, these filters are not free, but definitely affordable! Snapchat offers these filters for about $15-$20 a day depending on how complex your filter is, and how stretched out the location is. I think this is well worth the money for an event like a wedding or party, and adds a little fun and personalization into it! Would you get a custom Geofilter?
