During the past year, TikTok has blossomed into the one of biggest social media networks in the world. The app skyrocketed under lockdowns and curfews with an enormous number of new users starting to find ways to entertain themselves at home.

And while there are still skeptics about the potential of the platform, TikTok was the most downloaded non-gaming app during the first quarter of 2021, proving again that the app is here to stay! 

The fact is that TikTok turned itself into a very potent and fertile advertising ground. With the big audience packed mainly with Gen Zers and Millennials, the app allowed brands to create brand love and awareness in a new way. But, TikTok now decided to capitalize on another thing that blossomed during the pandemic – e-commerce

After the introduction of a self-serve advertising platform that put small businesses in the game, partnership with Shopify, the launch of new formats like Instant Form, TikTok is adding a range of new, in-stream shopping tools that will enable brands to drive users to shop on the platform and create an increase in their revenues.
