Oftentimes when meeting with clients a big question that concerns social media is which channels or platforms are most important to be active on.\u00a0 Even more so, when a new platform starts to gain popularity many brands question if they should hop on the trend. After its world wide release back in 2018, TikTok\u2019s growth<\/a> has been absolutely viral. Just to name some key stats, TikTok is the\u00a0 No. 1<\/a> downloaded app of 2020, can boast over 800 million<\/a> monthly active users and can be used in 150 countries<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just because Tiktok is wildly popular does not mean every brand has a place creating content on it. A standard rule among marketers, in particular social media marketers, is trying to be on every channel for the sake of being on every channel is ludacris. That is why Paranoid Internet digital marketing agency has outlined a few questions brands should ask themselves before including TikTok into their social media marketing strategy.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Is your target audience the right age for TikTok?<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Just because TikTok has over 800 million users does not mean your target audience is on the app. TikTok has been championed as THE app for teens. Specifically those 13-17 years old make up to 27% of the total users. 18-24 year olds actually make up 42% of the apps user age demographic. However if you combine the 13-24 years that accounts for 69% of the apps total users. So if your target audience is 50 years old maybe TikTok is not the right place for your brand or product. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
