Why TikTok is a Must-Invest Channel During Peak Periods
Learn how brands like Papier have utilized TikTok during peak periods to increase ROAS by +1200%
Fospha's TikTok Playbook reveals why TikTok is an essential channel for marketers, particularly during peak periods like Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
Here’s why investing in TikTok during these critical times can significantly boost your brand’s performance.
1. Unmatched Potential During High-Traffic Periods
TikTok’s explosive growth has made it a powerhouse for eCommerce, especially during peak. As brands increase their TikTok spending, the platform has shown exceptional return on ad spend (ROAS), particularly during high-traffic times.
Fospha’s data shows that TikTok is becoming a crucial part of the marketing mix, with an average of 10% of brands’ marketing budgets now allocated to the platform.
By capitalizing on TikTok's unique ability to capture consumer attention during peak, brands can enhance visibility, drive conversions, and outpace the competition.
2. Effective Full-Funnel Strategy for Sustained Growth
Investing in TikTok during peak periods requires a comprehensive full-funnel strategy. Fospha’s playbook emphasizes the importance of engaging consumers at every stage—from awareness to conversion.
During high-traffic events, utilizing a full-funnel approach ensures that your brand not only captures immediate demand but also nurtures potential customers for future growth.
By investing in TikTok's entire funnel, brands can sustain their momentum beyond the peak period, driving continued engagement and sales.

3. Maximizing New Customer Acquisition

By investing in TikTok during these high-traffic times, brands can tap into a vast audience of potential new customers, maximizing their acquisition efforts and driving long-term growth.
4. Creative Optimization for Peak Engagement
TikTok’s success hinges on creating content that resonates with its audience. During peak periods, the competition for attention is fierce, making creative optimization more critical than ever.
Fospha’s playbook highlights the need for platform-native, trend-driven content that feels organic to TikTok users. By focusing on creative optimization, brands can enhance their visibility and engagement, ensuring that their campaigns stand out when it matters most.
