  1. Enhance engagement on social networks:

You might be thinking that people just follow their friends on Facebook and Instagram, and don’t follow any brand.

In fact, 80 percent of people using social media follow at least one page of a brand. This means that people often follow the brands they love on social media apps

This development is encouraging brands to increase their following and advertise directly to customers. with Try On Filter, Brands can advertise new products right on the post and invite customers to use  Filter with the attached link.

  1. More engagement than traditional ads: 

What if the entire marketing budget is spent on great video ads, there is no guarantee that the ads will be seen widely by many audiences in this case.  With these advertising costs, consumers only watch the video in a few seconds. 

Meanwhile, AR Filters have an average interaction time of 75 seconds. This amount of time is four times more than video content because watching videos is a passive experience. AR Filter demands the viewer’s attention, especially Try-On Filter, it allows users to try products right on the image of the person using. 

For sunglasses brands, Try On Filter offers different colored sunglasses images that users can “try on” on their faces . By providing these options, users are invited to try some. This means customers can spend more time using it

  1. Target right audience and increase brand awareness 

If your brand has a new product that needs to be promoted, there's a direct reach. People who already follow the business's page can use the new Filter to try new products and they can be introduced about the company’s product currently.

For those who don't follow the brand, they can find the AR filter by searching or "accidentally" see it when their friends use and share it. There is an extremely useful Filter library on Instagram, where people can explore it by surfing through the available filters

For example, people who are looking for new glasses on the market can find the glasses company's AR filter. They can try this product from the comfort as at home , even if they have never heard of the brand before.

  1.  Increase passive engagement:

The more creative AR Filters are, the more shareable the content has. Let social media users do the work for you instead of paying for expensive ads

People often follow a lot of other people on social media because of similar interests. Therefore, when your AR Filter is shared, then user’s followers will see your AR Filter too. You don't even have to pay for that click. The creativity behind the filter fueled the brand's appearance. More than 500 million accounts on Instagram interact with Instagram's Story feature daily.
