TikTok: more about its e-commerce tools

 

As advanced in a previous article, TikTok has rolled out a trio of in-feed ad products for online shopping. They are Collection Ads, Dynamic Showcase Ads (DSAs), and Lead Generation. The first one gives brands the opportunity to drive traffic to their websites and is particularly useful for things like limited-time deals, seasonal sales and recent launches.

Dynamic Showcase Ads allow brands to market thousands of product SKUs via personalised video ads. These generate advertisements targeting specific audiences based on their interests and commerce activities. TikTok offers a suite of DSAs that follow the platform’s creative principles of offering clips with music and text overlays. According to the firm, these drive higher click-through rates and conversion rates.

With regards to Lead Generation, this is available within in-feed video ads. Thanks to it, brands will be able to collect information from TikTok users easily via online forms. This type of advertisement is most effective for businesses that have longer sales cycles, like audio and education. Moreover, to automatically connect a brand’s CRM to the app for a lead-generation campaign, it has collaborated with Zapier and LeadsBridge.

The Shopping Head of Product of the video sharing firm, Javier Irigoyen advanced, “The future of commerce on TikTok is a shopping experience that allows brands of all sizes to tap into the enthusiasm of our user base”.
