As one of the globe’s most popular apps, TikTok isn’t just for learning the latest dance craze or for sharing viral videos, it can also be used to share your latest products and services. For example, as a fashion retailer, create a lookbook of your trending pieces as by seeing the items in motion and styled, customers are bound to flock to your store or website.
With a similar format, Instagram Reels and IGTV are excellent tools to use when promoting your brand, and should you already have a large following through the app, you already have a ready-made audience meaning that you will reach eyes upon instantly pressing the ‘share’ button.
From their early introduction in the late ’00s, influencers have changed the way that brands connect with their audience as these consumers strive to be like their idols.
Great examples of influencer marketing come from beloved Gen Z brands, such as Pretty Little Thing and Skinny Dips, who recently partnered with Jade Thirlwall – one-third of girl band, Little Mix.
With 7.7 million Instagram followers, Jade’s collection of apparel, jewellery and tech accessories drew inspiration from her style and was quickly snapped up by the group’s loyal ‘mixers’.
The key factor behind the success of the brand is that Jade already has a loyal following behind her, which when combined with Skinny Dip’s 668k followers allowed them to reach an even wider audience allowing them to turn over more sales and conversions.
