How to Target Your TikTok Advertising
TikTok Ads manager offers many targeting options. When you start creating your first campaigns, there are various targeting options. However, our advice is not to define a detailed audience initially, which leaves room for the algorithm to compile the data. After a while, you will have an insight into which audience was interested in your product, and you will be able to target customers further.
Like other digital advertising platforms, TikTok Advertising offers opportunities for testing. It would be desirable to make as many campaigns as possible with different targeting. This way, you will find out exactly what works for your product and get impressive data that the algorithm will collect for you. Test as many as you can! You can use primary data at the beginning: age, gender, and location.
Later on, after the algorithm collects specific data, you can define your campaigns, such as user interests and behavior. In time, the algorithm will collect more data. Then you will be able to create the audience using minor characteristics, such as mobile type, operating system, etc.
TikTok gives you various creative ways to boost your sales. Some methods are In-feed Ads, Hashtag Challenge, Branded Effect, and Top View. With this, you can better connect with customers through interactive challenges and trends. The most common ad type is In-feed, and it is on the “For You Page.”
For You Page
For You Page is a feed specially designed for each user, and it offers content based on the user’s interests. Your ad will be shown to a defined audience, and your potential buyer can be easily found.
