TikTok has skyrocketed in popularity and user base in the last couple of years, becoming the undisputed leader among social media sites.
Brand communities on TikTok have become a top priority for social media managers and marketers around the world.
A common concern for businesses using social media is how to implement paid campaigns, and TikTok was no exception.
In 2023, why would you want to advertise on TikTok?
In 2023, flying cars were once widely anticipated but have since proven impossible. Unfortunately, things aren’t quite so simple in practise. TikTok videos may only be successful if they are promoted, and inflation is still on the rise.
At first glance, many marketers might assume that they can get by without using TikTok ads to promote brand videos.
Nonetheless, despite common belief, TikTok isn’t limited to young people. TikTok users in the United States have a median age of 33.
Promoting your business on the popular video sharing platform TikTok
Ads can be made quickly and easily on TikTok. Although easy to do, making ads that can outperform your organic TikTok data is a different story.
You should start by deciding what you want to achieve, who you want to reach, how much money you have to work with, and what kind of content will catch their attention.
Begin Organizing Your Effort
Here is where you will define your campaign’s goals, give it a name, and establish a financial allocation.
The Goal of the Campaign
Determine what you hope people will do as a result of seeing your advertisement.
Like on Facebook, goals on TikTok can fall into three broad buckets: awareness, consideration, and conversion.
Create your ad groups
Multiple ad groups can be created for each TikTok marketing effort. Ads can be fine-tuned and their efficacy evaluated in this manner. Make use of this to try out various forms of targeting, as well as images, videos, and CTAs.
To create an ad group in TikTok Ads Manager, follow these steps:
Ad placement is a key decision
Advertisement placement refers to where on TikTok your commercial will be displayed. You can decide where your ads appear. Top view ads and in-feed videos are two good examples.
Select automatic placement if you don’t care about being placed in a specific group or if you’re unsure which option will yield the best results
Pick some targets to optimise for
If you want your advertising campaign on TikTok to be successful, you need to have a firm grasp on the most important metrics you can use to measure success. Your ad group can be optimised for any of these factors:
Conversion \sClick \sImpression
It goes without saying that the best strategy for getting your ad in front of people who are most likely to buy your products is to focus on conversion.
Create your commercial using TikTok’s video editing software.
The unrestricted ability to express oneself creatively is one of TikTok’s most appealing features. The Video Creation Kit on TikTok provides users with a library of customizable video templates, images, and more than 300 audio tracks to use in their videos.
Automated creative optimization allows you to quickly and easily generate new iterations of your ad.
Conversion-optimized strategies for TikTok ads
TikTok videos that do well in views should always keep the following in mind
See to it that the visuals are interesting and evocative. That means being authentic and approachable on TikTok. Oftentimes, the best videos on TikTok have a tone of humour and upbeat positivity. These methods of interacting with platform users have proven successful.
Advertisements should highlight humorous or inventive ways in which customers would use or benefit from the product in question. The vast majority of viewers (76%) prefer comedic videos to creative.
TikTok Ad Categories
With an understanding of how TikTok ads function under our belts, we can move on to analysing the different ad formats available to find the one that best serves your brand’s needs.
Commercials in video form
TikTok commercials of this type can be anywhere from 5 to 60 seconds long. A similar ad would show up in the feeds of the people who follow you.
Commercial carousels
If you’ve ever used Instagram, Facebook, or LinkedIn (where carousels have been a feature for some time), you’re well aware of what carousels are.
Inflated commercials
Currently, Pangle ads are limited to select countries. This format of advertisement is made possible by combining Pangle’s video platform and TikTok to show banner and video ads.
Produce commercials
Spark ads are a great way to promote the natural content already present on your brand’s account.

When planning an advertising campaign, it is important to have several objectives in mind.

Build your fan base.
Drive up interest and click-through rates
