How To Build Your TikTok Marketing Strategy
Now that you’re set up, it’s time to start building your strategy, creating your content and building a following on the platform. While you won’t be TikTok famous overnight, we have ten tips that will help you get on the right track.
These are the top ten things you should be doing when you start building your TikTok marketing strategy.
1. Brand Your Account
You want to make sure that your TikTok is recognisable alongside your other social media platforms, ensure your name, username and profile photo are all aligned with your branding across your channels.
Make sure your bio reflects your business (you only have 8- characters so keep it short and sweet) and add in a link to your other social media accounts and your webpage/
You may even want to consider creating an auto-message feature for when people DM you, you can set this up once you’ve got your first 1,000 followers.
2. Know Your Audience
The key to TikTok success is knowing who you want to target with your content. Otherwise you might be getting the reach but it won’t translate into any conversions or sales meaning no revenue.
TikTok skews towards a Gen Z audience predominately so aim to target your content for younger audiences. Stay on top of trends and be sure to jump on them quickly when they arise. You’ll also want to dig a little bit deeper than just the age range and find out exactly who your target audience is – are they male? Female? University students? Knowing all this information allows you to target your content to your primary audience and hopefully convert viewers to customers.
3. Make Quality Content
You want to ensure you’re creating quality, engaging content on the app. Unless you’re already an avid user, spend some time getting to know the platform and seeing what shows up most often in the “For You” Page AKA FYP.
Check out the discover page while you’re here to see what’s trending. Look for trending sounds, hashtags, accounts and use those trends to guide your content. You may also want to look at other successful brand pages that are in your industry to see the kind of content that they are creating.
When it comes to TikTok, you really need to test out different video styles to see what works best for your audience. Keep your content diverse by showing your product in action, highlighting your team, funny videos with trending soundbites and influencer content to keep your videos fresh and engaging.
4. Don’t Be Afraid of Ads
If you want to reach a wider audience on TikTok, think about putting some of your budget towards TikTok ads. This can allow you to end up on the FYPs of people who may not have stumbled upon your content organically.
5. Experiment With Influencer Marketing
Working with influencers is a great way to get your product out there on TikTok. Find an influencer with experience in your niche and work together to create fun, engaging video content that spreads the word about your product and converts new customers.
When you choose an influencer to work with it’s important to be strategic. Look at the influencers and creators that are popular with your target audience and begin by reaching out to them. You also want to ensure that the influencer you choose is trusted by their audience when it comes to showcasing products or doing reviews.
6. Keep an Eye on Analytics
When it comes to successful marketing on TikTok you want to keep a close eye on your analytics. This can be a game changer when it comes to seeing what kind of content is most popular and when the best time to post is.
Keep an eye on your video views, growth rate, any trending videos and the average watch time for users for the best results.
7. Jump on Trends
When it comes to TikTok, trends move fast, and jumping on them quickly is a great way to increase your chances of going viral. Look out for trending audios, challenges and video types and if you can create a video that is trending and relevant to your content – definitely do it!
8. Use All The Features
TikTok has a range of shooting and editing capabilities in the app and some of the best videos on the platform are shot and edited straight from there. Experiment with filters, captions, text overlays, voiceovers and so much more – and the best part? You don’t need any additional editing tools to create your TikTok videos.
9. Keep Them Short & Sweet
On TikTok you really want to keep your videos short and sweet. When it comes to in-feed advertising, TikTok data shows that 21-34 seconds is the recommended length. An easy rule of thumb is to keep your videos to around 30-seconds for the best results.
10. Try Going Live
TikTok is one of the platforms that offers live-streaming and as a brand you should consider taking advantage of this feature. Not only will it allow for your brand to show up on the FYP of your audience, it also gives you a live platform for things like FAQ responses and interaction with your audience.
