Once you find a trend you like, you can either create original content using the audio or action, make a duet, or stitch it the video together with your commentary. The possibilities can be endless. Who knows, you could create a brand new piece of content that becomes a trend bigger than “It’s Corn!” overnight.  


Easy to Find and Execute New Trends

TikTok was never meant to feel like a polished platform. The social channel is intended for users to promote and express themselves using a laid back, user generated content approach that is obtainable to anyone with a smartphone. What does that mean for your car dealership ? Cheap and authentic marketing! Talk to your employees and see who might be interested in helping create your TikToks. Some common approaches for car dealerships are to use TikToks as a way to showcase new inventory, talk about car care tips, show off what’s happening around the store, document how you like to get involved with the community, or just make your audience laugh! By communicating on this relaxed, positive level, you could be opening the door to an audience base that may have been on the fence about approaching your store due to the stigma about “the hassles of car buying”.

Increase Brand Awareness

Within 6 very short years after launching, TikTok has been downloaded over 3 billion times via Google Play Store and Apple App Store. If you have yet to hear about TikTok yet, then we still have much to teach you. But, chances are if you aren’t already actively using the platform for your own personal scrolling, you have at least heard the buzz about it from friends and family.
