To the surprise of many, the Tik Tok social network has become a great opportunity for advertisers looking to advertise. Download figures already surpassing Twitter and Snapchat. Currently, it is less saturated with ads than other social networks, since we are talking about an innovative advertising option that has been with us for a very short time.
Here are some curious facts.

- The 44% are women and the 56% men.
- The 41% of users have between 16 and 24 years old.
- Its daily use is 52 minutes per day per person.
If you are still in doubt... Is Tik Tok advertising right for my business?
If young people are one of the strengths of your business, Tik Tok ads could become a great investment. 66% of the users are under 30 years of age, Therefore, it is not a suitable platform for companies with a target audience focused on users over 30 years of age.
However, everything changes, and although today's audience is predominantly young people, social networks tend to be adopted by younger audiences first, but as the years go by, they may make their mark on more than a few older demographics.
So read on, even if Tik Tok isn't the most successful channel for your business right now, it's a good idea to learn about it so you're prepared.
Do you have the budget to advertise on Tik Tok?
Because advertising on this social network is new and still somewhat strange, campaigns require a minimum investment of 50 euros per day and Tik Tok points out that you should start with a large enough investment to get the expected results. Therefore, they may not be very suitable for your business if you are looking for more affordable advertising options.
