What is Tiktok Ads?

Tiktok Ads is the ads tool for the short video social network Tiktok .

In other words, it is the solution for companies to create ads in different formats to reach app users.

For this, this tool brings together creative and audience targeting resources. Options that allow advertisers to experiment, target and understand how to get better results.

But those who believe that there is no space and solutions for small and medium businesses are wrong.

This is because the network's algorithm makes Ads Tiktok able to segment and better target advertising within the most appropriate audiences and models.

How much does it cost to invest in Tiktok Ads?

In Tiktok Ads, the budget is very flexible and defined by the maximum daily cost that the advertiser wants to invest.

The minimum amounts vary between 20 and 50 dollars daily.

This feature is quite similar to Google Ads tools.

In practice, you define in the Tiktok Ads Manager tool the daily cost ceiling for that ad and also the beginning and end of its display.

Amounts are charged through the payment method selected when creating the advertiser account.

This payment can be made manually or automatically, that is, by bank slips or linked card.

In other words, it is possible to invest small amounts in the platform in a flexible way and without big bureaucracy and contracts.

What are the ad formats?

Tiktok Ads allows different types of ads so that companies can work with different goals and find out which format brings the best results.

But beware, some of these ads are only accessible to managed brands, i.e. app partner brands that are represented by the TikTok sales team.

• Consideration: ads aimed at bringing the customer to the brand's channels, whether by website link, application download, profile on TikTok itself or bringing leads to the contact base;
• Conversion: objective of the final end of the brand, this objective is linked to the purchase in the company's catalog or website.
