Digital marketing has never been more crucial for businesses than it is today. With all the changes and challenges presented by the new normal, being seen in the right place by the right audience is crucial to a business' survival. This is especially true for small, homegrown businesses or SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises).
DataReportal's 2021 Digital Report for the Philippines mentioned that ads on social media have become the leading source of brand discovery, outpacing television ads. This goes to show that people actually learn about brands while they spend time online, and that digital transformations are a huge part of the game now.
The question is, how can a business stand out amid the crowded online space? It begins with choosing the best platform for them to advertise their business on. As the most downloaded mobile app in the country, and the 6th most used social media platform according to the same 2021 Digital Report, video-sharing social networking service, TikTok, is the ideal choice if you want your business to be seen.
For business owners who are familiar with the power of the platform, and hope to make their mark there, the launch of TikTok For Business in the Philippines make things easy.
