Firstly, you need to tell Geany to reload its configuration for it to
load your newly created snippets. This happens when you close and
restart Geany, or you can select Tools -> Reload Configuration on the
menu.

Next, you need to press the TAB key after typing a snippet, and it
should replace the snippet. 

NB: You need your snippet to be defined for the filetype of your file -
e.g. if you're editing a C++ file, you need your snippet in either the
[C++] section or the [Default] section of the snippet.conf file.
