TikTok trends come and go faster than you can say FYP.<\/p>\n

On a platform that\u2019s on track to reach 1.5 billion users in 2022<\/a>, it\u2019s no surprise that social media marketers are constantly tracking the latest trends and brainstorming creative ways to reach this massive audience.<\/p>\n

But even on a lightning-paced platform like TikTok, there are still a number of reliable marketing trends that brands can use to generate the high engagement rates TikTok is known for.<\/p>\n

In fact, our first-ever TikTok benchmark report<\/a> found that TikTok is out-engaging the other platforms with an average engagement rate per follower of 4.1%.<\/p>\n

And while there isn\u2019t a secret formula to racking up millions of views (though the mysterious algorithm certainly plays a role), these trends are worth experimenting with to get your brand in front of your target audience.<\/p>\n

Below, we\u2019ve rounded up 10 TikTok marketing trends along with examples to inspire your next video.<\/p>\n

Top 10 TikTok Marketing Trends to Use in 2022<\/h2>\n

1. Trending sounds and dances<\/h3>\n

Trending sounds and dances are what helped TikTok explode into the platform that it is today. In fact, \u201centertainment\u201d and \u201cdance\u201d are the two most popular categories on TikTok<\/a>, so it\u2019s clear that these marketing trends aren\u2019t going away anytime soon.<\/p>\n

Brands and creators alike can keep their content current by creating videos around the trends that your followers are already paying attention to.<\/p>\n

If you need inspiration for incorporating the latest trends into your TikTok content, look to the higher education industry.<\/p>\n

Schools and universities are always top performers on social media, so it\u2019s no surprise that they consistently produce highly-engaging content on TikTok. Plus, if you consider that over half of social media users between the ages of 18-24 are on TikTok<\/a>, it makes sense that colleges are especially in tune with what a majority of users want to see. These accounts frequently incorporate the latest trends into their content.<\/p>\n

James Madison University<\/a> garnered an engagement rate that\u2019s more than 13x greater than the average with this TikTok video that used a trending sound.<\/p>\n

\"An<\/p>\n

Using a trending sound, learning the latest dance, or participating in a challenge are all great ways to get started with TikTok, especially as you learn what works and what doesn\u2019t for your brand.<\/p>\n

Plus, if you execute it well enough, there\u2019s always a chance your video could go viral which would help get your brand in front of a much wider audience.<\/p>\n

2. How-to and educational videos<\/h3>\n

TikTok is giving Google a run for its money when it comes to being a leading search engine \u2014 TikTok is now the first place Gen Z users turn to when they have a question<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Instead of typing a question like, \u201chow to apply false lashes\u201d into Google, there\u2019s a good chance people are opening TikTok instead. And it\u2019s not hard to see why. TikTok has become a hub of educational content that users can rely on to get a quick and visual answer to all of their queries.<\/p>\n

\"TikTok<\/p>\n

Brands have caught on and are leaning into how-to and educational content. This can play out in the form of product demos, tutorials, and even guides. And TikTok users are clearly eager to learn, as evidenced by the popularity of the #LearnOnTikTok hashtag which has over 343 billion views and counting.<\/p>\n

\"Search<\/p>\n

Similar to an SEO strategy, marketers can leverage this TikTok trend by creating content around topics your brand\u2019s target audience is searching for. If you\u2019re creating content for a beauty brand, you can create makeup tutorials or address frequently asked questions about your products. Or take it a step further by partnering with a creator who already creates makeup tutorials and has built a following around it.<\/p>\n

The key is to optimize the video by using keywords in the caption, creating a clear title in the thumbnail image, and of course, addressing search intent by answering the question in a clear or creative way.<\/p>\n

3. Niche and subcultures<\/h3>\n

If you\u2019ve spent any time on TikTok then you\u2019re probably familiar with #BookTok. But do you know about #CleanTok or #CareerTok? There\u2019s even #IkeaTok which is dedicated to interesting IKEA finds and home DIYs using the brand\u2019s furniture.<\/p>\n

\"Search<\/p>\n

Simply put, there\u2019s a niche community \u2014 and an accompanying hashtag \u2014 for practically any topic you can think of. If you want to reach a niche audience, then brand marketers would be wise to tap into these corners of the internet.<\/p>\n

Niche communities and subcultures tend to have a highly engaged audience. Just take #IkeaTok for example \u2014 the hashtag currently has over 400 million views. The key to creating content for a niche audience is to be authentic. Your contribution to the topic should be genuine and provide value to the audience who views it.<\/p>\n

For example, if you\u2019re marketing a beauty brand and want to get your products in front of the #IkeaTok audience, you could create a video that showcases a DIY makeup organizer using IKEA storage products.<\/p>\n

4. Commerce<\/h3>\n

If there\u2019s anything that #TikTokMadeMeBuyIt has shown us, it\u2019s that TikTok has tremendous influence over consumers\u2019 shopping behavior. In fact, 67% of users say that TikTok has inspired them to shop<\/a>.<\/p>\n

To keep up with the trend, TikTok has introduced commerce tools \u2014 like the ability to add product links to a video \u2014 to make it easy for users to purchase products as soon as they discover them on the app.<\/p>\n

Retail brands can curate their products in a dedicated shopping tab on their page, as shown in the blue box below on NYX Cosmetics\u2019 TikTok.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a social marketer for a retail brand, lean into the commerce capabilities of TikTok as you plan your marketing content. Consider ways to make your content shoppable so you can eliminate the number of steps or decisions customers have to make before adding a product to their cart.<\/p>\n

For example, NYX<\/a> includes UGC (usually a review or makeup tutorial) on the product pages in its shoppable tab as additional social proof for anyone considering making a purchase.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

5. Creator collabs<\/h3>\n

The creator economy is what drives TikTok, and brands would be wise to tap into that influence. According to TikTok, brand collaborations with creators<\/a> can improve brand recall, video view rates, and engagement with your target audience.<\/p>\n

There are countless ways to partner with TikTok creators for your marketing strategy<\/a> including through brand partnerships, ad content, and even UGC.<\/p>\n

Beauty brand Sol de Janeiro<\/a> does an excellent job of using creator content to drive awareness for its products.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

Not only do they partner with influencers to help amplify the brand, but Sol de Janeiro frequently reposts UGC that helps boost the brand\u2019s social proof. It\u2019s clear that the marketing team is keeping a pulse on brand mentions and genuine product reviews.<\/p>\n

When partnering with a creator or reposting their content, it\u2019s essential to make sure your brand and the creator\u2019s brand align. When the creator and the brand have similar audiences, it helps create a more genuine partnership that users can trust.<\/p>\n

6. Branded hashtag challenges<\/h3>\n

A branded hashtag is a hashtag created by a brand that encourages users to use it in their content when they mention the brand, or for a specific campaign like a contest or challenge.<\/p>\n

Branded hashtags are a great way to get your brand trending, get your name in front of a wider audience, and encourage engagement.<\/p>\n

Skincare brand Eucerin<\/a> executed a branded hashtag challenge with its campaign, #28DaysofEucerin. Based on the idea that it takes 28 days to form a habit, the challenge encouraged TikTok users to start new habits that benefit healthy skin and share their routine for 28 days for a chance to win a year\u2019s supply of Eucerin products.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

The hashtag received 8.8 billion views and was used in a majority of Eucerin\u2019s most engaging videos, as outlined in the blue box below. These videos also received 88x more engagement than the brand\u2019s other videos as you can see in the red box.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

If you want to give your brand a boost of engagement, a branded hashtag challenge is worth experimenting with. The key is to make sure there\u2019s enough incentive for the users to participate, like a major prize. It also helps to partner with influencers or creators who can help generate buzz for the campaign when it kicks off.<\/p>\n

7. Behind-the-scenes vlogs<\/h3>\n

If you were active on the internet in the early 2000s, then the word \u201cvlog\u201d probably brings back a lot of memories.<\/p>\n

Well, like most cultural trends from decades past, vlog-style content is back thanks to TikTok.<\/p>\n

This TikTok marketing trend particularly plays out through \u201cday in the life\u201d videos. If you browse through the #dayinthelife hashtag, there are countless roles you can get an inside look at, from \u201cday in the life of a D1 athlete\u201d to \u201cday in the life of a cake decorator.\u201d (Fair warning: You may be tempted to make a career change after seeing the wide range of unique jobs out there.)<\/p>\n

These videos tend to be popular for individual creators, but brands can leverage this trend by tapping into different POVs from internal members of the company like employees, the brand\u2019s founder, or even students.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re going to give this trend a try, the video should give a behind-the-scenes look at the processes, people, and atmosphere of the place you\u2019re trying to promote. This could be a good strategy for brands who are using TikTok to recruit people, like universities who want to reach new students, for example.<\/p>\n

8. Social listening<\/h3>\n

While social listening isn\u2019t a new trend, it\u2019s especially pertinent on a platform as fast-moving as TikTok.<\/p>\n

Marketers have to pay extra attention so they don\u2019t miss out on relevant conversations happening around the platform, potential UGC opportunities, and any comments or questions that followers may have about your brand.<\/p>\n

A great way to execute this trend is by keeping an eye on the comment section and replying to comments with another video. Not only does the comment appear overlaid on the new video, but it will also show up in the replies of the original comment thread.<\/p>\n

DTC shoe brand<\/a>\u00a0Vessi offers a great example of this tactic in action. The brand replied to a question about its waterproof shoes with a video of a TikTok creator (@runningjord), who\u2019s known for running videos, running across water in a pair of Vessi shoes.<\/p>\n

\"DTC<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

Another way to show your followers that you\u2019re listening to them is to use the reply feature when announcing new products (especially ones that have been frequently requested), like beauty brand Laneige<\/a> does below.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

Social listening on TikTok is all about staying on top of what\u2019s being talked about on the platform, from trending topics to customer questions, so you can create content that resonates.<\/p>\n

To make sure you never miss a conversation (as much as you may want to, you don\u2019t have time to scroll through TikTok all day!), use a TikTok analytics tool<\/a> to track everything from trending topics and hashtags all from one place.<\/p>\n

9. Long-form video<\/h3>\n

Though TikTok\u2019s foundation was built on short-form content, longer videos may eventually become the norm now that TikTok videos can be as long as 10 minutes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A great way to incorporate this TikTok trend is through a video series. One of TikTok\u2019s own accounts, @tiktokforbusiness, offers a great example of episodic content with its #MadeForTikTok series.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

Since the account is geared toward business owners and marketers, the series interviews leaders in the ad industry who share their best marketing tips. The videos take a talk show approach but are easy to digest as they\u2019re only about five minutes long.<\/p>\n

A video series is a great way to establish your brand as an expert or a resource and keep your audience coming back for more. Q&A-style interviews are the obvious choice for a series, but there\u2019s a lot you can do with long-form videos, from tutorials to documentary-style storytelling.<\/p>\n

As TikTok continues to expand its video capabilities, now is the time to get ahead of the competition and test the waters with long-form video.<\/p>\n

10. TikTok Lives<\/h3>\n

To capture real-time engagement, consider going live. Livestreaming on TikTok is another trend that has picked up a ton of steam as it gives brands and creators a chance to connect on a more personal level. And because there\u2019s an entire tab dedicated to live videos, brands can get in front of a much broader audience and capture the attention of users who may not even follow them.<\/p>\n

While creators from all industries can take advantage of TikTok Lives, retail brands in particular can take advantage of this trend through TikTok\u2019s live shopping feature.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

Brands that sell products can use a livestream to showcase different products through demonstrations, reviews, or even simply talking about them.<\/p>\n

Viewers can then click on the shop tab, as shown in the red box at the bottom of the image above, to browse the products that have been mentioned during the livestream. The shop page then makes it easy for TikTok users to shop directly in the app. Think of TikTok live shopping as the modern-day QVC.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

Whether for shopping, Q&As, or event streaming, TikTok Lives may be worth considering if you want to connect with your audience on a more casual level and in real-time.<\/p>\n

The Wrap-Up<\/h2>\n

There\u2019s always something new to try on TikTok \u2014 and that\u2019s the beauty of the platform.<\/p>\n

The key to incorporating the latest TikTok marketing trends is to make sure they align with your brand so that the content comes across as authentic to your followers. You don\u2019t have to try them all! Not every trend will be right for your brand.<\/p>\n

But once you start experimenting with different trends and content types, always be sure to measure the right TikTok metrics so you can get an accurate analysis of your performance.<\/p>\n

After seeing what works for your brand, you\u2019ll be sure to wind up on your target audience\u2019s FYP in no time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
