TikTok is all about fun and visual content. If you take a look at the TikTok trending pages, you'll find a lot of funny videos, all with songs.

Here's a good example: Lush, a cosmetics retailer, is using TikTok to create funny videos to promote their products.

PS: Make sure you add music to all your videos.
Keep it simple and be authentic.

• Create a hashtag challenge

Another great way to promote your business on TikTok is by launching a hashtag challenge.

All you have to do is create a hashtag, make a TikTok video, then encourage other TikTok users to create content and add your branded hashtag to it.

A good example here is Samsung's #GalaxyA challenge.
Samsung asked users to draw the letter "A" on the palm of one hand and teleport it to the hand of another user.

A fun hashtag challenge not only promotes your business, but it also brings you more interactions and engagement on your posts.
