4Leverage TikTok Ad Campaigns to Capture Customers
While TikTok can have organic viral reach, ads are essential when you are just starting out. TikTok ads effectively reach a large audience and help you grow your brand. We recommend using TikTok Messaging Ads that allow viewers to click to send a message to WhatsApp or Facebook where they chat most often.
Create engaging ads that encourage viewers to start a conversation to kickstart the customer journey. When they see a product or service, they will have questions; being able to chat directly builds trust.
Once you’ve addressed their questions, they may be ready to make a purchase. If not, you’ll have their contact information in respond.io and can continue to market to them.
