TikTok for fashion companies

TikTok is a great platform for fashion companies to promote their products and services. TikTok offers a variety of ways to be creative and attract users’ attention. In addition to traditional ads, fashion businesses can also create their own short videos and share them on the platform. This is a great way to draw users’ attention to the company and strengthen the brand at the same time.

• Advertising for products and services
• Attract attention to the company

However, fashion companies should keep a few things in mind when creating TikToks. For one, the videos should be short and crisp. Videos that are too long are usually not viewed by users. Additionally, the videos should be relevant to the target audience and offer added value. If the videos are not interesting enough, they are quickly skipped or deleted.

• Short videos
• Target group specific content
• Offer added value

So, to be successful on TikTok, fashion companies need to be creative and create interesting content. At the same time, they should also make sure that the content is short and concise. Only in this way can they attract the attention of users and be successful in the long term.

Tips for creating TikToks

Here we have a set of tips for creating TikToks:

1. choose a theme for your video

Before you start creating your TikTok, you should first think about what topic you want to cover. Possible topics for your video could be:

• A particular piece of clothing that you sell
• A new collection you would like to introduce
• Style advice tips
• Background information about your company or brand

2. keep your video short and sweet

TikToks should generally be no longer than 15 seconds. This means that you need to keep your video short and sweet. Therefore, identify the main topic of your video and focus on the essential information you want to convey.

3. use attractive visual elements

Another important aspect of creating a TikTok is using attractive visual elements. Most TikTok users scroll through the feeds to find interesting videos. Therefore, you should make sure that your video stands out and attracts users’ attention. Some ways to do this are:

• The use of colors and contrasts in your video
• Adding graphics and animations
• The insertion of interesting clips from other videos

4. use the right tone of voice

The tone of voice you use in your TikTok is just as important as the visual elements. Users often decide within a split second whether to continue following a video or not. Therefore, it’s important to find the right tone of voice for your video. Some things to keep in mind are:

• Whether the video should be funny, informative or serious
• What music should run in the background
• How to use your voice to convey emotions

The best TikTok hashtags

Hashtags are one of the most important components of TikTok marketing for fashion businesses. They help you reach your target audience and attract more followers. It’s important that you use the right hashtags to promote your content effectively.

Here are some of the best TikTok hashtags for fashion businesses:

#Fashion: This general hashtag is very popular among TikTok users who are interested in fashion. Use it to include your content related to trends, new products or campaigns.

#Fashionista: With this hashtag, you can attract the attention of an audience that is into styling and always up to date with new trends.

#Style: This hashtag directly relates to styling tips and ideas and can help you draw more attention to your posts.

#Fashionblogger: With this hashtag, you can target the account of fashion bloggers to get more followers and spread your content.

#Outfitofday: This hashtag helps users find outfit inspiration while spreading your content.

#outfitoftheweek: Another great way to provide outfit inspiration while getting more exposure for your business.

However, avoid certain hashtags like #spon or #ad. These are considered inappropriate and can be damaging to your business image. Instead, try to use organic hashtags that speak directly to your target audience. Ultimately, TikTok marketing is about connecting with your audience, so remember to match exciting content with relevant hashtags!

Why is advertising on TikTok worthwhile?

The answer is simple: because TikTok is worth it!

TikTok is the latest development on the social media market and is becoming increasingly popular. More videos are uploaded here every month than on all other social media combined. This means it’s a great opportunity for companies advertising here to get their message out to a large audience.

• Addressing a large audience

Many fashion companies use TikTok as another way to showcase their products and promote their business. By using TikTok, they can show their brand and product in a new light. Most companies post TikToks that showcase their new product or brand. This can provide unique insights into the product or brand, which keeps customers interested or inspired.

• Present products/brand
• Promote company

Moreover, experience shows that advertising on TikTok is very effective. The short videos allow companies to convey their message very precisely and directly. Viewers don’t have time to get bored or tune out – they need to be adressed immediately!

• Conveying messages of the company

Last week, Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, announced that he wants to buy out the social media network Twitter. Previously, he had already bought shares in the amount of 9.2 percent. What exactly his offer now looks like and what short-term impact it had in the following.

Briefly summarized:

• Elon Musk wants to buy Twitter
• Already owns 9.2% of the shares in Twitter

But first, a look at Twitter and Elon Musk.

[Update] – Elon Musk buys Twitter!

No sooner had the social news been written than it was fluttering through the news tickers of this world:

Elon Musk buys Twitter!

Anyone who followed American television, the general media landscape, could almost have thought they were in a presidential campaign. Every piece of information, no matter how small, was immediately shared. Then it was time for the news of the day to hit the news tickers:

Twitter board approves Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter

The Twitter board had long granted against this acquisition.

• Elon Musk buys Twitter

Elon Musk? The entrepreneur

Elon Musk is an American entrepreneur with African roots, who is the owner and founder of the electric car manufacturer Tesla and the space company SpaceX. He is also the co-founder of the global payment service PayPal. With a total fortune of about 200 billion US dollars, he is one of the richest people in the world.

Elon Musk quickly explained:

• US entrepreneur
• Companies a.o.: Tesla & SpaceX
• Co-founder of PayPal (bought by Ebay)

Twitter? The social network

Twitter is one of the most popular networks, along with Facebook, Google+ and YouTube. Twitter is a microblog, which has the task of sending small messages in the form of text messages, usually with a limited amount of text. Twitter was founded in San Francisco in 2006. Twitter Inc. is a public company and employs about 2000 people. With 353 million users worldwide, including 12 million users in Germany, Twitter is definitely one of the most widespread social networks in the world.

Twitter summarized:

Elon Musk buys Twitter: supply & impact

As reported above, Musk announced last week that he would buy out Twitter. He offered the company $54 per share, for a total of $41 billion. The social media platform reacted to this with the so-called “poison pill” strategy. This strategy is designed to make a company unattractive to potential buyers. They plan to sell shares more cheaply to shareholders who already own more than 15 percent of the total shares.

However, according to the board, it is not out of the question for Twitter to accept an acquisition proposal or work with other companies.

Share price at the time of the news

Here’s what Twitter’s stock price looked like at the time of the news:

Current Twitter rate: 36 months

Here again the long-term view of the last 36 months, with current status.

Instagram: More reach through the algorithm

Instagram – Founded in 2010, Instagram is one of the most popular social media networks in the world. Within the first 10 years, the number of users increased from 1 million to 1 billion. Most of the users are between 18 and 34 years old. The gender ratio is about 1:1. What makes Instagram work so personalized is the algorithm. This is very special, but what is an algorithm actually?

Algorithm explained: how does it work?

What is an algorithm simply explained?

The term algorithm comes from computer science (IT). Basically, an algorithm is a program written by experts that examines and analyzes user data and search behavior in an app.

For this, it looks at various parameters, e.g. who publishes a content. Does this person already have relevance or not? Which ones are really relevant? Which ones are displayed to you? That’s what the algorithm decides. Based on this data, users are then shown posts that are tailored to their interests.

What advantages this understanding has and how you influence the algorithm you will learn in the following.

Algorithm factors: What matters?

As described at Social Hub, there are 3 factors to use the algorithm to your advantage.

The three factors of the algorithm summarized:

1. Interest
2. Topicality
3. Interactions

Now briefly in detail:

Interest

Interest – Instagram measures how people interact with the different content. For example, if you often interact with posts that fall under the fashion category, you will automatically be shown more posts from the fashion world.

Topicality

Timeliness – Even though the chronological listing of Instagram feeds is no longer available, the time period in which the post is published still plays a role. Also the frequency of use, makes the difference.

Interactions

Interactions – Interacting with people’s accounts also boosts your reach. If users interact with you often, you will appear more often in their feed.

Freelancer as external employee tool

Freelancers then take care of individual projects on a self-employed basis. Companies like to book freelancers because they can often cover projects that cannot be handled by their own staff.

Of course, you could counteract this by recruiting employees, but finding good employees (who also commit) takes longer than the quick search for freelancers on the web.

Typical tasks in social marketing

The work starts with simple content tasks, such as:

• Composing contributions and postings
• Communication with the community as well as customers and internal interfaces
• Research for relevant topics
• Ideas for campaigns (organic or paid)
• Campaign and strategy planning
• Creation of reports through analysis tools

However, it can also go much deeper into the matter, as in the case of placing ads and performance marketing.

Costs for freelancers / employees

The cost of a freelancer is usually always higher than the typical hour of an employee. On the other hand, you save yourself a lot of bureaucracy, because in the end you simply pay an invoice.

Accordingly, the rule tends to be, for short-term jobs, it’s worth hiring a freelancer, even at a higher cost, to get the job.

If the corresponding competences are needed more often in the company, one should increasingly think about own personnel in order to increase the profitability again.

Booking via online platform: fastest method

The easiest way to find freelancers is through online platforms like fiverr or through personal contacts, e.g. from other entrepreneurs or businesswomen who can recommend good freelancers in a certain field.

However, the more specialized the task, the more likely it is that online platforms will be suitable for finding freelancers. Tip: Here you can use the filter functions and search masks to search very precisely for specialist areas, experience and other important parameters of the freelancer.

• Booking via online platforms
• Tip: Use filters and quickly, effectively find freelancers

Functions: Channels, bots & surveys

As a classic messenger, Telegram offers many additional functions. For example, users can create groups or channels or create surveys and perform various tasks with bots. More functions listed below.

The functions summarized:

• Social logins
• Chats
• Cloud-based chats
• Groups
• Channels
• Drafts
• Survey
• Bots
• Voice chats
• Secret chats
• Video news
• Voice & video calls

Telegram also advertises special data security for chats. Chats and messages are secured with special encryption to keep users’ private data secret. The entire messenger should also be protected from hackers.

The most important functions in detail for you:

Social logins

For some years now, it has been possible to register or log in to various networks with your Telegram account.

Surveys

In 2018, the polls option was added, allowing users to create polls in groups independently of script programs. Later updates added the option of multiple answers, quiz mode and anonymous participation.

Bots

The bots, which were added to the app in 2015, initially allowed larger groups to be controlled by artificial intelligence. You could give them commands to follow the chat in groups and thus remove or report users who make hate speech or racist statements. The advantage of the bots is that you could program them completely yourself. This means that over the years the bots have become more and more creative and the selection of different bots has grown.

Crowdsourcing portals for financing and projects

In the last five years, many different providers have grown up on the Internet, before there were many smaller but now crowdsourcing has become the standard for many. Crowdsourcing is always about making use of the masses. Collective knowledge is always better than that of the individual.

According to Wikipedia is Crowdsouring “The wisdom of the many” and further Crowdsouring describes “the outsourcing of traditionally internal subtasks to a group of voluntary users, e.g. via the Internet. This term is based on the term “outsourcing”, the outsourcing of corporate tasks and structures to third parties.

Intelligence of the mass for marketing

• Crowdsourcing is a popular method for forming a mass for a given target
• Whoever needs support in order to achieve their goal or to secure the financing, relies on crowdsourcing today
