Oh Tiktok.
Allow me to introduce the platform, Tiktok.
Noone takes themselves seriously here - from go hard Tiktokers to influencers and brands.
So if you’re looking to grow your business and boost your business account you’ll require more than just catchy songs, clever filters, and an insatiable appetite to dance. You need TikTok marketing know-how—and we’re here to help you find it.
This thread to TikTok will answer your burning questions: As to why you should run ads on the platform.
What is Tiktok, and why should you care?
It’s OK—we won’t make you ask. TikTok is an up-and-coming social media platform that launched (in its present form) in 2018. We say up-and-coming because the platform is in its relative infancy compared to Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter, who’ve all been around for well over a decade now.
TikTok lets users create, share, and watch short videos. Unlike other platforms, it’s a video-only app.
Have you used Instagram Reels yet? If so, the platform functions very similarly to that—just as Instagram Stories closely resembles Snapchat’s entire platform.
So, why should an entrepreneur like you spend their time and energy on TikTok? Good question. It turns out there are a ton of TikTok marketing opportunities on the platform that could catapult your business growth.
1. Gen Z User Targeting: If your audience is Gen Z, TikTok is the place to be. It’s now even more popular than Instagram among Gen Z users.
2. User Engagement: TikTok has the highest engagement of any social media app, with the average user session almost as high as 11 minutes. Hook TikTok users with your content, and there’s a good chance they’ll stick around to watch more.
3. In-App Shopping: TikTok is a money-driver when it comes to influencing digital spend. 67% of TikTok users said the app inspired them to shop (even if they weren’t planning on it).
4. Brand Connection: 73% of TikTok users feel deeper connections with brands they interact with on the platform. Want to create relationships with your customers? Use TikTok.
