TikTok is an app to create videos and share them with others. TikTok now has 800 million active users worldwide. The biggest benefit to use TikTok for business is the rapid spread. Some of the categories on the app include lip-syncing, short tutorials, dancing, comedy and so much more.
One of the best examples is how well this app can spread information. That was seen with the dalgona ice coffee or “TikTok ice coffee”. This South Korean coffee was showcased by one of the app users and people quickly started recreating it and sharing it with their friends. Using TikTok for your business can create this beneficial domino effect too.
Another great example is music. People on the app obviously dance to sound and that sound becomes popular with the dance. One of the most copied dances is to Say So by Doja Cat. All it took was one girl to post her choreography to a catchy song. Many people then started copying the dance which lead to the streaming of the song as well.
