5 Tips For A Successful B2B TikTok Account

A successful TikTok marketing campaign can help companies reach new markets and connect with their audience on a deeper and more personal level. The viral potential of TikTok is not like any other social media platform today!

Your marketing strategy on TikTok needs to be different from that of Instagram and other social media platforms. The reason for this is because TikTok not only works differently, but also has its own unique algorithm.

In this article, we give you five tips to be successful at marketing on TikTok.

1) Build A Community

Like any other social media platform, building a following and a community is essential. According to statistics, most Americans tend to be more loyal to the brands they follow on social media. This is because people like interacting with their favourite brands and getting to know them better. That builds trust, and we are more likely to buy from brands we trust!

The best way to build your target audience and community, as with any other social media platform, is to actively engage and interact with your audience, reply to comments, and create content specifically for your followers and target audience.

To build a community, you need to communicate with your customers, so be transparent and listen to what your customers have to say. Often, people want to know who the person is behind the brand or that an actual human is behind the brand.

2) Create Authentic Content

Another way to be successful on TikTok is to create authentic content that’s unique from what others are doing or creating. When it comes to social media and buying decisions, people want authenticity. According to statistics, 90 percent of consumers say authenticity is crucial when choosing which brands to support.

This type of content is ideally suited for TikTok, since it has a reputation for simple, direct, and authentic content most of the time. While it may be difficult for some brands to do this, remember to remain true to yourself and keep the content human in the process.

Ensure you keep in mind that your audience does not want traditional corporate content on TikTok, so let other social media platforms handle that.

3) Generate TikToks That Will Be Watched From Beginning to End

Getting people to watch your videos in full can be challenging, but it is worth the effort and will benefit you. A video watched from beginning to end is the best indicator of interest.

A platform such as TikTok understands that this is a crucial element for success. Hence having a reasonable completion rate on your videos will be shared and recommended more.

To get your audience to view your videos from start to finish, you must first grab their attention within the first few seconds, and continue to capture their attention for as long as needed.

Some ways to do this are building suspense, answering question(s) they want the answers to.

Keep your videos short. And remember...we live in a world full of distractions with short attention spans. Get creative to figure out the best and quickest way to capture and keep attention.

4) Test Various Content Ideas

The only way you’ll know what works is to try it out!

Not every type of content will apply to your brand. Do some research on what types of content appeal to your market target audience and try replicating them with your own style that's specific and unique to your brand.

Nonetheless, don't be afraid to try new things that you have never seen before. It's all about staying true to yourself while creating engaging content.

5) Make Use of Ads On TikTok

Irrespective of platform, the best social media marketing strategy involves a blend of organic growth, partnerships, and paid advertising. And TikTok is no different!

You have to test as much as possible at the beginning, until you find something that works. Use the same techniques we discussed for your ads when testing.

Being authentic will benefit your campaign on TikTok. Lastly, your ads should have the same feel as TikToks. They should feel like a native post that one of your friends have posted,
