1.2 Why Now Is the Best Time?
✨ Four Advantages of Entering Now

- • Algorithm-Friendly: New accounts also have opportunities for massive exposure
- • User Freshness: High acceptance of ad content, low ad fatigue

⚠️ Important Reminder
As more brands enter the TikTok advertising market, competition is expected to intensify gradually and ad costs may rise accordingly. Brands entering the market now will enjoy first-mover advantages and relatively lower customer acquisition costs.
2. TikTok's Unique Algorithm Advantages
2.1 "Interest Graph" vs "Social Graph"
Unlike Facebook and Instagram's social relationship-based recommendations, TikTok uses an interest graph algorithm. This means:
❌ Traditional Social Platforms
- • Content mainly pushed to followers
- • New accounts struggle to get exposure
- • Requires long-term follower accumulation
- • Ad reach limited by audience size
✅ TikTok Platform
- • Precise push based on user interests
- • New accounts can get traffic pool testing
- • Quality content can go viral quickly
- • More precise and broader ad reach
