justify&semi;">TikTok Demographics<&sol;h2>&NewLine;<hr &sol;>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">The first important thing to understand about TikTok is its demographic&period; TikTok users are young&period; Over <a href&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;sproutsocial&period;com&sol;insights&sol;tiktok-stats&sol;" target&equals;"&lowbar;blank" rel&equals;"noopener">60&percnt; of users<&sol;a><strong> <&sol;strong>are aged between 10 &&num;8211&semi; 29 years old&comma; and less than 5&percnt; of the user base are boomers&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">Why is this important&quest;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">Because TikTok isn’t profitable for every business&period; If you’re trying to reach predominantly Gen Z and millennials&comma; then the social media platform should have a large presence in your sales marketing funnel&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">The great news for brands that are looking to reach this demographic is TikTok users are very engaged with the content&period; On average&comma; users consume around 850 minutes of content on the platform every month&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">There are two things you need to do before you jump into it&period; First&comma; you need to consider what your goal is&comma; and second&comma; you need to know the different advertising options on TikTok&period; We’ll cover both&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<h2>Building a Social Media Sales Marketing Funnel That Works<&sol;h2>&NewLine;<hr &sol;>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">Where does social media&comma; and TikTok in particular&comma; fit into your overall customer journey&quest;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">This will dictate the type of content you create and whether you focus on paid or organic content &lpar;<em>or both&excl;<&sol;em>&rpar;&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">Most of this will come down to the service or product you offer&period; For example&comma; for an eCommerce brand&comma; the company is likely to see far better conversions&period; Therefore a realistic goal for TikTok marketing for this brand could be sales&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">For other brands&comma; the product may not fit so naturally into social media content&period; For example&comma; not many social media followers will buy a car because of social media content&period; For these brands&comma; a more realistic goal is brand awareness&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">For the best chance of success&comma; you need to look at where social media falls into the sales marketing funnel for your brand&period;

justify&semi;">You can also opt to use influencer marketing within the platform&period; This paid content is a more organic type of content that often gets better engagement&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">Alternatively&comma; you can opt to build up your own account by posting killer content and gaining TikTok followers&period; Brands that do this successfully often see great engagement and increased brand awareness on the site&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon;
