    Think about what the average TikTok user is on that platform for. They're trying to have fun, check out some lip syncing, or have a laugh. In other words, if they stumble upon an ad, how are they going to respond? In other words, the best way to advertise on TikTok is to not advertise. Craft videos that involve your product without actively trying to push it. Mention it, showcase it, but don't put a "pitch" out there, if that makes sense.

    Crafting ads for TikTok isn't particularly difficult or expensive, so I'd say it's certainly worth doing if you have the time. I'd urge you to reconsider how you're thinking about TikTok, though. Yes, the audience tends to skew on the younger side, but there are plenty of adults on the platform too. On top of that, if you establish a presence there, you'll have a larger market by the time those younger users grow up. A lot of them will still be on the platform!

    Have fun with it! I know it's probably a little overwhelming, but they chose you for a reason. On top of that, businesses go to TikTok because they're trying to make their product seem exciting and fresh. Don't shy away from doing something a little unexpected or funny. But above all else, do something fun!
