- Top View Ads: Occupy the main view when the TikTok app is opened, increasing brand awareness.
2. Branded Hashtag Challenges
Branded Hashtag Challenges are a unique TikTok advertising strategy where businesses create interactive challenges that encourage audiences to participate. In this way, business’ content goes viral, while users create user-generated content, increasing brand awareness and visibility.
➢ Standard Campaigns
1. Spark Ads
Spark Ads is a unique advertising format that allows businesses to promote existing content created by users or influencers. By amplifying organic content that is already performing well, businesses can gain the trust of their audience while incorporating promotional messages into that content.
Spark Ads offers two basic options:
- Promote content from the company profile: Businesses can select existing posts from their own TikTok profile and promote them through Spark Ads, increasing their visibility and boosting engagement with new audiences.
- Promotion of content from content creators’ profiles: Here, businesses can work with content creators to promote their own posts published on their own profiles. This model tries to adopt a more organic approach to content promotion through third-party produced content that has already gained authentic acceptance, thus increasing the credibility of the products or services promoted in the posts.
2. In-Feed Video Ads
In-Feed Ads on TikTok are one of the most cost-effective ways to advertise, at a lower cost, making them ideal for businesses looking for efficient campaigns on a limited budget. These ads appear directly in users’ feeds, just like organic videos.
Advantages of In-Feed Ads:
- Low CPM: One of the most cost-effective advertising options, offering great exposure at a low cost.
- Positive Impact: Excellent choice for broad reach on a limited budget.
- Native Integration: In-feed ads look like organic TikTok videos, which makes them more user-friendly and enhances interaction with users.
3. Video Shopping Ads
Video Shopping Ads is a TikTok advertising tool that combines the power of interactive videos with direct shopping capabilities. Unlike traditional ad formats, Video Shopping Ads offer a kind of shopping experience directly within the TikTok platform, making the process more direct and easy for the user.
Advantages of Video Shopping Ads:
- Quick Action: Users can view a product catalogue during the video and purchase products by going to the website, without having to leave the app.
- Interactive Content: TikTok embeds product information in interactive tabs during or at the end of the video.
- A Combination of Content and Promotion: Integrating products into the content creates a unique user experience as the products are displayed in a natural way during the video.
