Why Advertise on TikTok?
With TikTok's rapid growth within the last two years, it has proved to not only provide users with hours of new, constantly updating entertainment, it also allows advertisers to capitalize on how much time users are spending scrolling through the app. Factors such as age, gender, location and interests can all be personalized to fit your business's marketing goals. There are three types of ads that can show up on someone's For You Page (FYP) that would be beneficial to use
In-Feed Ads
Displayed inside the native news feed as users scroll through their For You Page
Brand Takeover Ads
Ads that pop up as soon as users open the TikTok app and takeover the screen for a few seconds and then change to an in-feed video ad.
Top View Ads
Top View ads do not cover the screen as soon as users sign in. They occupy the first in-feed post after three seconds.
An account doesn't need to be made to still advertise on TikTok. This helps build brand relevance while avoiding committing to uploading regular content. TikTok includes measurement tools in Ad Manager that makes performance tracking easy -- including the option to add a pixel. TikToks are also widely shared across all social media platforms.
