просування магазинів та брендів у Тік Ток

TikTok is steadily gaining momentum. The average person spends on TikTok from 30 minutes to several hours a day. Recently, more and more marketers are focusing their efforts on creating unique and cool content on TikTok. However, this may not be enough to increase the number of subscribers. To gain views and likes on TikTok, as well as reach the top recommendations in your field, you need to know the techniques that will help you achieve these results.

TikTok features and video formats

The main highlight of TikTok is the publication of bright and interesting videos, mostly with humorous overtones. Publications are selected on the principle of recommended content (as on YouTube). The audience is shown the videos that best match its preferences. Hence - you should correctly identify your subscribers, target them by certain characteristics and create content that is most relevant to them. Then your videos will gain rapid coverage on the network.
To understand what video formats to choose, analyze your audience, determine what they like, what they respond to better. The most popular types of content on TikTok are:
  • comedy videos and life stories - funny and witty stories from people's lives, jokes;
  • vlogs - real life of people;
  • beauty, fitness content: exercise complexes, vocal numbers, dance routines; creation of bright makeup, hairstyles, etc;)
  • fashion and style - life hacks on the use and combination of clothes, accessories;
  • videos with animals - top content that collects hundreds of thousands of views and likes at all times;
  • UGC - content created by subscribers of a brand or company.
But remember that not every type of business is suitable for advertising on TikTok.

Technical information

To post a video, you must comply with the following requirements:
  1. File size limit for iOS - 250 MB, Android - 75 MB.
  2. Codec - H.264.
  3. Aspect ratio - 9:16.
  4. File extension - 1080x1920 pixels.
  5. Video formats - mov, mp4.

Tips to help your channel gain weight

These cases, although they will not help you create unique content, will definitely promote your posts on TikTok.

1. Leave the habit of appealing to everyone

When you try to attract the attention of everyone, the opposite happens: in the end, you do not find a response from anyone. To get more subscribers, you need to target your audience by preferences. This will increase the number of people interested in your content. For example, the hashtag #fashion has more than 188 billion views. However, to promote content in this topic, it is better to choose a narrower niche, such as street style or plus size fashion. It has a smaller number of views, but a more interested audience.

2. Publish at the right time

It is not only important what you post, but also when you post. This is especially true for TikTok. A recent HubSpot Blogs survey of over 300 marketers revealed the best and worst times to post on TikTok. Here are the results:
  • Best time of day: 3pm to 6pm and 6pm to 9pm.
  • Best days of the week: Friday and Saturday.
  • Worst time of day: from 6:00 to 12:00.
  • Worst days of the week: Monday and Tuesday.
Since TikTok is popular among Generation Z - they spend most of the day at school - morning and afternoon are considered "dead hours". Take this into account when posting content on TikTok. Try to post videos towards the end of the week or on weekends.

3. Duet or montage of top videos

Як створювати Дует в Тік Ток
TikTok offers a number of tools that allow users to shoot original videos and increase the number of contacts with your channel. One of them is "Duet" or "Stitching".
With the Duet feature, you can play your video along with another user's video at the same time. This is ideal if you want to add a comment or a funny reaction to a popular video. The "Stitching" option allows you to play up to 5 seconds of someone else's video as an introduction to your own.
The best way to use these tools is to interact with the most popular videos in your niche. You can find them through search by entering keywords. Choose a video, click the "Stitch" or "Duet" button and let your creativity run wild.
For example, the British grocery store chain Tesco asks users to sing in a video to get a chance to become the new voice of their cash register.

4. Take part in a challenge or create your own

Although challenges have an infamous history on TikTok, they can boost your channel's ranking. To increase the engaged audience, find the right challenge for your brand. After that, give it your own style. This is how you will really stand out.

You can also create your own challenge - just make sure it's easy to do. For example, the American restaurant Chipotle launched the #LidFlip challenge, which encouraged users to flip the lid of their burrito plate in style. In the first six days, the challenge collected more than 100,000 video responses. Even more strikingly, it created a record sales day for Chipotle.

5. Use trending sounds and songs

88% of TikTok users say that the melody is important when watching videos. With the right selection, the soundtrack can be crucial in attracting more subscribers.

TikTok has a large library of sounds, but you should choose the ones that are most loved by the community. TikTok usually gives preference to videos that use trending tunes.

To do this, go to the TikTok Creative Center, which ranks popular sounds every day. Filter the singles by region or style and select the desired song.

6. Cross-promotion on TikTok

Your audience is probably active on other social networks besides TikTok. For this reason, it is important to use cross-promotion of your videos on other channels: Instagram or YouTube.

Remember that Instagram will not promote videos with TikTok watermark, so you need to upload the original video separately. YouTube has no such restriction.

Video Reels cannot exceed 60 seconds, while a TikTok video can last 10 minutes. Therefore, you may have to trim your videos to stick to Instagram's time limit.

Ultimately, your brand is only as cool as the good content you create. While the above tips may boost your presence in the show feed in the short term, it is the quality of the content that influences people to click the "Follow" button. For a marketer, this means that the brand's audience should be at the center of the TikTok strategy, and the content should be on the same wavelength as it is.
