Why Tiktok matters

TikTok has become one of the most popular social media platforms today, with over one billion active users worldwide. The app's popularity has made it an attractive marketing platform for businesses looking to reach a younger and more engaged audience. But with the rise of video marketing, creating a successful TikTok marketing strategy can be a challenging task.

For brands, video marketing is not always easy. It can be expensive to produce high-quality videos and it can also be difficult to determine how often to post videos and what type of content to share. However, with the right strategy, TikTok can be a valuable tool for businesses to reach their target audience and increase conversions.

What to include in your tiktok marketing strategy

One important aspect of a winning TikTok marketing strategy is to have a variety of creative assets. But where to start? This blog helps you get ideas on what kind of assets your business can create for your Tiktok strategy in 2024. 

Let's take the example of "Bennis Bottle Company", a brand that sells beautiful water bottles. To create a winning TikTok marketing strategy, the brand could utilize the following elements:

Employee and behind the Scenes Videos

Showcasing the process of making the bottles or how they package them can give the brand a personal touch and show the behind-the-scenes of the business.

Brand Videos

Creating brand videos that feature the water bottles and highlight the unique features and benefits of the product can help the brand stand out.

Event Videos

Sharing videos of the water bottles being used at a gala or other event can help the brand connect with their target audience and show the product in action.

Influencer Collabs

Collaborating with TikTok influencers can help the brand reach a wider audience and build credibility with their target market.

Sharing of User Generated Content

Sharing videos of fans who love the water bottles can help the brand tap into the power of word-of-mouth marketing and show the product in action.

Educational Videos

Creating educational videos that explain the sustainability of the water bottles compared to other products, such as PET bottles, can help the brand differentiate themselves and demonstrate their commitment to the environment.

Reviews of your products

Using Expeerly to get authentic and fast video reviews of the water bottles can help the brand build trust with potential customers and increase conversions.

Product Announcements

Creating videos to announce new colors or other product updates can help keep the brand top of mind and create a sense of excitement and anticipation among the target audience.

Business Stories

Sharing the founder's vision and the story behind the creation of the water bottles can help the brand connect with their target audience and create a sense of personal connection.

Answer Community Questions

Answering community questions, such as where the water bottles are made, can help the brand build trust with their target market and demonstrate their transparency and commitment to customer service.

Duet and Stitch Videos

Creating duet and stitch videos that show the water bottles being used in creative and fun ways can help the brand connect with their target audience and demonstrate the versatility of the product.

How-to Videos and Product Demos

Creating how-to videos and product demos of a new water bottle filter system can help the Benni to educate their target audience and demonstrate the product's features and benefits.

Seasonal Videos

Creating seasonal videos, such as holiday-themed videos, can help Benni connect with the target audience during special times of the year.

Hashtag Challenge

Starting a hashtag challenge on TikTok can help the Benni engage with their target audience and create viral content.

Competitions

Benni could create a competition among its users to share the best place to drink water from your Benni Bottle and post the videos. 

How to Execute Your TikTok Marketing Strategy

Creating TikTok content for your brand or business can come with varying degrees of cost and effort. Bennis Bottle Company, for example, has several options to consider in order to execute their TikTok marketing strategy effectively.

User Generated Content (UGC)

Utilizing UGC can be an economical and scalable solution for Bennis. Encouraging customers to participate in challenges or competitions can increase the volume of UGC they receive.

Dedicated Team Member

Benni or a member of their team can dedicate a portion of their time to creating employee videos, behind-the-scenes content, and other promotional material.

Video Services

Utilizing Expeerly can offer Benni shareable, engaging content for TikTok, while other video services can provide animated videos or AI-driven explainer videos.

Freelancers

Benni can hire a freelancer for their video marketing needs through platforms such as Upwork or Fiverr.

Agencies

When Benni has the resources to do so, they can engage an agency to handle their video marketing strategy and create professional-quality marketing material.

In summary, a successful TikTok marketing plan should focus on creating diverse, innovative content to showcase the brand and product. This helps reach a wider audience, establish trust, and drive conversions. The cost of executing these ideas varies, giving you the flexibility to choose the most suitable option.
