FAQ
ParticipantI’m in Auckland and delving into TikTok Ads Manager for my e-commerce business. While organic posts have done well, I’m unsure about utilizing various ad formats like In-Feed, TopView, and Branded Hashtag. Can someone simplify the main ad types on TikTok and suggest when to use each to enhance brand awareness or drive sales?

ParticipantIt’s great to seek clarity before investing in advertising. Knowing how to leverage these tools is crucial.
In essence, TikTok’s ad formats represent diverse video placements tailored for specific marketing goals. In-Feed video ads are ideal for driving traffic and sales, whereas premium formats like TopView and Branded Effects excel in boosting brand visibility.
The key is aligning the cost and functionality of the video format with your campaign objective, ensuring you choose the right tool for the right job.
Beginning with In-Feed Ads, these videos seamlessly blend into a user’s ‘For You’ feed, perfect for enhancing consideration and conversions for e-commerce. Use trendy audio and on-screen text to capture attention, and include a strong call-to-action and ‘Shop Now’ button to direct traffic to your site.
Moving on to premium formats such as TopView Ads, these full-screen videos upon app launch are suited for major product launches or brand campaigns to maximize immediate brand recognition. High-quality content is essential to justify the investment here.
Lastly, engagement-focused formats like Branded Effects and Branded Hashtag Challenges emphasize user-generated content creation. Branded Effects offer custom video filters for user application, fostering engagement and integrating your brand into the platform’s culture.
For an e-commerce brand, prioritizing In-Feed video ads is a strategic and effective starting point for budget allocation and creative efforts.
