Before you begin creating videos, define your goal clearly. The feed speaks for you just as it does on Instagram! Will you only produce videos with influencers in which your products will be promoted? Do you plan to include your team in the process?
- Provide genuine content
Being yourself is the smartest move (and it works in all social networks). It is better to be authentic, fun, and cringe on TikTok than to appear sophisticated and smooth like on Instagram.
Use the app’s built-in effects to create videos directly from your smartphone in a natural, almost weird way. The videos convey a message that says, this is our brand, our identity, our culture.
Tip: distinguish your TikTok content from your Instagram content. Your TikTok audience doesn’t want to see your flawless life! People want to have fun and be entertained.
- Result analysis
Take some time to analyze your statistics after posting a few videos and creating a community. For you to iterate and see your TikTok strategy more clearly, we recommend bi-monthly or monthly reports.
Here are some metrics to consider:
- Subscribers
- Views: This is the most relevant metric.
- Likes
- Comments
- Shares
- Follower engagement rate
- Rate of engagement per view.
- Engage influencers in the campaign
TikTok’s influencers can be found in any country. By partnering with influential people, you can improve your marketing strategy. Authenticity is key, and you have to let influencers work their magic on your behalf.
- Get involved in TikTok challenges!
TikTok challenges are the most effective way to go viral on the app and gain attention. You can draw inspiration from the content creators on the platform and personalize it to make it your own. You must work directly with TikTok to create a branded challenge. Through this method, many people can see your content.
- You can create TikTok ads or use TikTok to promote your business
You can advertise on TikTok in different ways, such as Top View, In-feed Native Video, Hashtag Challenge, Boosted Ads, etc. By ensuring your personas see your ads, you can increase leads and sales, and track your metrics to maximize ROI. In addition, the prices charged are still reasonable and the pressure from users is still relatively low.
