While he doesn’t advise B2B business to start jumping on Snapchat immediately, Gary Vaynerchuk predicts in this post on Inc. that “…in 24 to 36 months, as the platform dramatically ages up and starts hitting the 30 to 50 year old demo, there will be enormous possibilities.”

These opportunities, Vaynerchuk argues, will be similar to the ones presented to B2B businesses by YouTube. Instructional and information content, such as how-to videos and DIY advice, will give B2B businesses the opportunity to use Snapchat as a tool to connect with customers through stories—and have some fun while they’re at it.
