Unless you live under a rock, by now, you clearly understand the importance of providing a seamless mobile shopping experience. TikTok is a mobile app like any other app out there. That means your prospects are going to navigate through it and onto your site via their smartphones and DIY videos remotely.
If your mobile experience is seamless and user-friendly, it will undoubtedly be easier to attract more customers and eventually lure them into becoming loyal and paying customers. Testing your mobile experience often is one of the sure ways of ensuring at any given moment — you are providing a mobile experience that will benefit your business.
Cyber Monday and Black Friday are some of the biggest shopping days of the season to promote your business. These are special days you can leverage to take your brand to another level. TikTok's Holiday Toolkit for SMBs, launched in partnership with AdAge, is one of the tools you can use to rapidly expand your audience.
Just don't forget there are other days of the season to tap into. Any other day besides Cyber Monday and Black Friday are equally essential and worth leveraging. For example, you can offer discounts and other gifts on these additional days.
Any successful marketing campaign has a clear goal, defined from the start. It will be challenging to get the most out of TikTok if you don't have clear goals from the start.
