TikTok Advertising Tips by Puddle Digital Marketing Agency Leeds

We are going to cover the best ways to advertise your business on TikTok !

TikTok has long been identified as one of the leading social media outlets. Through its rise and success, it has proven to be a successful way for a brand to market its products and services. 

Considering the number of users the app has – 1 billion to be exact – it’s safe to say that marketers are missing a trick if they are not placing ads on this service. 

Gender and Age Stats

For those marketing products to younger adults, especially women, TikTok is the ideal tool. Stats show that TikTok’s advertising audience is women aged 18-24. Women in older age brackets are also more likely to respond to ads. Yet, there is still a reception from male users, with those aged 18-24 clicking advertisements a significant amount. 

Overall, brands marketing to customers 35 and under and those targeting women, especially women aged 18-25, will benefit from marketing their products on TikTok.

How can I advertise on TikTok?

There are various different ways TikTok ads can be platformed. However, some countries dont have access to certain ad formats, and there is also a certain family of apps TikTok owns that can platform different ad formats. 

In-feed ads

TikTok’s “For You Page” is where users consume most of the content held on the app. The page, which can have one scrolling for hours on end, is able to be used for advertising purposes, with ads able to be placed within feeds. They run as a 5-60 second full-screen video. The video will have an ad display image, brand or app name and ad text. They are self-service ads that can be created through Ad Manager interface.

How Can I Begin Using TikTok Ads?

To begin using TikTok ads, you need to head over to TikTok Ads Manager. If you haven’t created a TikTok Ads Manager account, you need to make sure that you have done that before.

Once you have created an ad manager account, you can begin a campaign and set a budget. We recommended setting a campaign name that is easily recognizable to your team and is up to 512 characters.

You’ll then name your ad group and select placements, target your audience and get creating your ads. These can be easily tracked, and analytics are available to see the reach of your campaign.
