It’s true: TikTok has rapidly evolved from being a “dancing app” into something that brands need in their digital marketing strategy.
Social shopping is set to explode in 2022 as social platforms are working behind the scenes to allow customer payments on apps to create a consistent customer experience. The reach for brands on TikTok is a lot higher than on Facebook or Instagram.
Don’t be afraid, TikTok may be new, but it is not hard to use. Home to 800 million users, if you want to stay relevant, you need to get your brand in front of those eyes.

Don’t stress if you haven’t got started on video marketing, it is not too late! There are endless ways to incorporate video into your marketing strategy — not just on TikTok but also on YouTube and Instagram (and many more). It doesn’t have to be expensive and complicated. In fact, it can be downright easy once you get used to it.
Influencers Will Continue to Grow
Are you thinking, “influencers? You mean teens with loads of followers getting paid to pose with a product?”
Yes, but it is so much more than what meets the eye.
Influencers are great for building brand trust. Influencers have spent ages growing their audience based on their niche. Therefore, their audience knows that their favourite influencer is backing a product or service, that it must be worth trying.
Influencers can save you a lot of time and money with their ability to target specific demographics in different places and times.
Organic SEO
Sorry SEO haters, it isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.
SEO is a fundamental part of any marketing strategy which isn’t going anywhere. In 2022, SEO is still going to be important for sourcing new businesses and traffic for most companies.
Changes in SEO mean that more keywords used will allow for a featured snippet. Snippets are displayed in the first result on the search engine and will show a small part of your article. These featured snippets will increase the number of clicks to your website as well as help your credibility.
