As you can see here, shooting in high resolution, utilizing full-screen presentation, sharing a clear CTA and keeping your messaging short (between 21 and 34 seconds) can all play a big role in boosting your TikTok ad performance.

Many of these pointers have been industry best practice notes for some time, but it is interesting to see them highlighted based on TikTok-specific examples also.

In addition to this, TikTok has also provided some industry-specific tips:

eCommerce

A combination of human voiceover illustrating the product and written offer drove an 87% lift in conversion
Videos that used a variety of scenes, as opposed to a static shot, led to a 38% lift in conversion.

Gaming

° Gaming ads with five or more scenes showed a 171% lift in conversion compared to those with fewer scenes.

° Videos that utilized onscreen text in the first 7 seconds saw a 43% lift in conversion compared to videos that waited 7 seconds or longer to show text.

But by familiarizing yourself with the app, and following these notes, you may be able to formulate better approaches to your campaigns.
