Why advertise on TikTok?
It’s not just private individuals who are big fans of TikTok; companies have also opened their eyes to the app. Over time, it has become increasingly common to advertise on this channel. You may already be advertising on other digital platforms today, and to stay competitive and relevant as a business, it is definitely an advantage to have a presence – on TikTok as well.
But what’s so great about TikTok, you might be wondering, and what are the benefits of advertising here? Let us explain:
TikTok is a channel with a high level of engagement. Trends spread here like wildfire, to a much greater extent than in other channels. If you hit the nail on the head, your content can actually go viral, with strong support from the algorithms! With many users across the globe – including in Norway – you also reach a large audience.
Considering that TikTok is not as well-known as the other social media platforms, advertising is often cheaper than it is, for example, on Facebook. You therefore pay less for ad impressions than you would on the other platforms.
