TikTok in Your Digital Marketing Strategy

15 seconds that are repeated in a loop, more than 800 million users and connection with anyone from anywhere in the world. This is the new Social Network that has conquered the world’s youth and from an entertainment channel has becomea network with high commercial efficiency and interaction with users.

According toBusinessAppsstudies, the average time spent on this social network is 52 minutes per day, far from the numbers known so far with other interaction channels. If to this is added thatthe duration of each video and your interaction with the screen determines the content that your mind wants or is used to consuming, then you can already understand that any brand or company wants to be there. Because there are your users and consumers.

Also keep in mind that Tiktok’s metrics are now much slower and more defined; before, you could see any type of content from any country. which is the reason? Tiktok is one of the few social networks that has almost no information about its users, so its segmentation is complicated and very slow. But even so, those who have been using the platform for a long time can see that now the content that appears is much closer to their interests, after a few weeks barely using the platform.

HOW IS A DIGITAL MARKETING TIKTOK STRATEGY

To expand our reach,today we have an effective, fast “tool” that is very close to users: influencers. Due to the rejection of traditional advertising, generation Z is at the forefront of that change. The key is to find the perfect user for your target audience. We must bear in mind that if our audience is between 16 and 24 years old, surely both the user and the target are on Tiktok. Older than 24? I’m sure they follow you on other social networks too.

Although there are companies still jealous of leaving their brand promotion to influencers and launching into this fun network, there are clear examples of the achievements made with Tiktok, especially when it comes to clothing brands and travel agencies.

Definitely, since Tiktok launched Ads, many companies have opened up to using the platform. Let’s see some types of campaigns that can be launched on Tiktok:

1. Native Ads in the Feed

2. Ads Hashtags Challenge

This type of ads is based on encouraging users to perform a certain action and tag your video with the corresponding brand hashtag.

3. Brand Takeover Ads
