Research on the Marketing Strategy of Tik Tok
* Author to whom correspondence should be addressed.
Abstract
The rise of TikTok has been followed by people all over the world, which has not only changed the traditional way of entertainment and consumption but also brought challenges to people to a certain extent. Research on TikTok has been increasing in recent years, with past studies mainly focusing on how it manages to market itself in the Chinese market to attract users. As well as how it associates the software with live streaming to sell goods. This paper studied the double-sided impact of TikTok’s marketing approach in China and internationally by reading academic articles from China and other countries. It can be concluded that people not only in China but also in the United States face the problem of spending too much time on TikTok. At the same time, TikTok content is also resisted by some people due to gaps in the vetting mechanism and differences in national religious beliefs. It has a detrimental effect on the marketing of TikTok companies.
