TikTok Holiday Playbook

As a small business, you're probably eager for the busiest shopping season of the year to kick off. But the lucrative holiday sales magic isn’t based on luck — you need to plan ahead and strategize things like what your creative messaging will be, where you'll promote your ads, how you'll engage your target audiences, and more.


TikTok is where inspiration and discovery happens, and it's the ideal platform to promote your holiday messaging and grow your business. We’re the place where over a billion people around the world go to discover trends, recommendations, and new things to buy.


Because TikTok is the leading source for joyful and entertaining content (all key holiday associations), it’s not surprising that holiday shoppers rely on TikTok as a source of inspiration for their next gift purchases. Did you know?:


  • 1 in 2 users have discovered a new brand or product on TikTok¹

  • 63% of TikTok users use TikTok to plan or celebrate the holidays²

  • #TikTokMadeMeBuyIt has 27B+ video views³


..and these consumers are already beginning to think about what to buy their loved ones (or themselves!) weeks before the holidays even begin. In fact, 68% of TikTok users start their shopping at least a few weeks before the holiday.²


TikTok understands the value and need to plan ahead, that's why we've created the 2022 Holiday Playbook. Download this comprehensive guide today to understand how you can tap into the power and growth potential of TikTok and close out 2022 on a high note.
