How to leverage TikTok for businesses

Why TikTok?

5 sharp tips for success on TikTok

  1. Have a good definition of your goals
    Start by thinking about where you want to go. What do you want to achieve with TikTok? Increase brand awareness, strengthen customer relationships, or perhaps drive direct sales? By setting clear goals linked to your marketing strategy, you create a solid foundation for a TikTok investment.
  2. Get inspired
    It's by diving into TikTok's endless stream of creativity that the best ideas come. Spend time on the platform, explore trending hashtags and see what your competitors and similar industries are doing. Save the videos that catch your interest and use them as springboards for your own creative outbursts. I personally do this too, when I think of recipes I find or fitness videos that interest me. It works the same way for businesses. What are others doing? How do they do it and do the videos suit your customer base?
  3. Experiment and customize
    TikTok is a platform that rewards creativity and authenticity. Don't be afraid to try different types of content and publishing times. It's often the most unexpected videos that capture the audience's attention. Analyze, customize, and find your unique voice on TikTok.
  4. Create content that evokes a feeling
    Remember that TikTok requires content created specifically for the platform. Showcase your company's human side by sharing behind-the-scenes looks, engaging with user-generated content, or exploring playful and creative expressions that resonate with TikTok's user base. It's all about evoking an emotion in your viewers.
  5. Perhaps one of the most important - Listen to your customer base
    Interaction on TikTok is immediate and insightful. Take the feedback you receive, both positive and critical, and let it guide your content strategy. This is your direct "feedback line" to what your target audience values and engages with. This is where fine-tuning comes into place to adapt and attract even more attention.
