Gone are the days of e-commerce where one could quickly get clients to the dropshipping websites for pennies using Facebook or Google advertising.
The game has changed now. TikTok is emerging as the next hot spot for eCommerce business owners and advertisers to extend those serious efforts, with over 800 million active users worldwide.
If the Facebook ad pages have been disabled and the sales have dropped to an all-time low, one can try TikTok advertising.
There are five compelling data-backed arguments to get the TikTok advertising up and running.
- TikTok's Diverse Audience
‘Generation Z makes up the majority of TikTok content producers. ' Also, those who are not TikTok users are aware of this social media platform. It's all right because the assertion is correct. Although most will say that Tiktok users are from the 16-24 years old age group. That isn't entirely correct.
While that age group account for 41% of TikTok users, the GenX, Millennial, and even Baby Boomer generations account for 59% of the rest. It means that one can also market the goods on this channel if the target demographic isn't between the ages of 16 and 24. - The Engaging Tiktok Ad Video
Ecommerce and social media have been increasingly entwined in recent years, as social networks such as Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, and now TikTok attempt to turn them into retail destinations with a so-called "seamless shopping experience."
Jungletopp performed an experiment in which they spent about $20K on TikTok ads and $31K on Facebook ads to compare the advertisement costs of the two platforms, and then compared the effects. - Tiktok create impressions
When it comes to impressions, TikTok is the simple champion, according to the experiment. TikTok ads produced more than 11 million views, compared to just over 4 million for Facebook ads. A similar pattern can be seen in clicks. TikTok ads produced much more clicks than Facebook ads, with over 100,000 and just below 70,000 clicks, respectively.
TikTok advertising, on the other hand, struggled in the (click through rate) CTR fight, owing to a much smaller audience. Many of the advertisements were only seen in the United States. - TikTok Ads Raises Branding
Even if the TikTok advertisements experimented with had a lower CTR, they did help to increase brand recognition, which will help sales thrive and the company expand sustainably in the long run. - TikTok is Influencer Marketing
If one wants to successfully advertise the brand, partnering with TikTok influencers is the way to go. This strategy enables one to support the brand by engaging content of the greatest possible scope.
Unlike Instagram, where influencers post heavily edited, professional versions of content, TikTok users prefer to share rawer, unfiltered content. This distinction makes ad buyers feel less targeted and more likely to purchase the product being advertised.
Furthermore, not all TikTok influencers are actors. They started out as TikTok users and grew in popularity as a result of the unique, high-quality content they self-created. As a result, one won't have to spend as much as one would if one hired a celebrity.
Selling Goods Like Pancakes in Using Tiktok

Optimization
You can choose from three different categories of goals:
- Your billing would be OC (optimization cost per click)
- You will be charged with clicks (cost per click)
- Your charges will be on every CPM (cost per mile)
Your offer is how much you're going to pay per 1,000 (or click, conversion). It's still easy to change the bid.
Often bear in mind that there are two kinds of delivery: standard and accelerate. The former means an equal budget will be spent while the latter has spent your money as soon as possible.
