Pro Tips

    Link every product video directly to TikTok Shop — the shorter the path to purchase, the higher your conversion rate.

  2. 2

    Product close-ups with good lighting outperform lifestyle footage for direct conversions on TikTok.

  3. 3

    Post your highest-converting product videos as TikTok ads — organic-looking ad creative dramatically outperforms polished ads.

  4. 4

    Use duets and stitches of customer videos — UGC on TikTok converts 4x better than brand-created content.
