Pre-Launch: The Research Phase for TikTok Ads

Running effective TikTok ads starts before you even click 'Launch'. Research is your best friend when the budget is tight, as it helps you eliminate as many variables as possible. When planning your ad, consider factors like landing pages, product or service offerings, and follow-up sequences.

‍

Utilize 'spy tools' to study how other brands are running their TikTok ads. This strategy allows you to ensure product-market fit and glean insights into successful product funnels. Don't try to reinvent the wheel. Instead, apply the strategies that are already working for similar brands to your own product or service. For instance, you can leverage the Top Ads tool to conduct expert research for your TikTok Ad campaigns.

‍

Moreover, ensure that your landing pages and technology infrastructure are functioning correctly before you launch your ad. The smoother the user experience, the more likely you are to convert visitors into customers.

‍

Launching Campaigns: Low-Budget Tactics

Now, let's discuss the launch phase. Here's a pro tip: for those starting out with a small budget, avoid CBO (Campaign Budget Optimization) campaigns. Although many advanced users swear by CBO, it can be costly to test out for new accounts. Instead, opt for the 'Lowest Cost' bidding method, which ensures your ad gets conversions at the lowest possible cost.

‍

But how many campaigns should you launch? To keep things manageable and cost-effective, limit your launch to five campaigns with one ad group each and three ad creatives. This approach minimizes variables and enables TikTok to identify the most profitable ad for you.
