Etsy & TikTok hand-in-hand?

Witnessing the growing popularity, Etsy announced its partnership with TikTok.

There are many commonalities leading to this Allie, but there are some most important and efficient aspects of TikTok to making it a buzzing topic for all the creators:

  • TikTok caters to a small attention span of the users, focusing on relatable and attractive content to the target customers. So if you’re thinking of making a TikTok video showcasing your products? Then go ahead and make it unique!
  • Etsy is a creative space, and so is TikTok, with built-in features like filters, sound, text and music effects. This will help you connect with the masses and be part of trends.
  • TikTok is different from other platforms. So, if you have your store on Etsy and are skeptical about which platform to target? TikTok would be the best choice as TikTok users agree that the platform is more conducive to creative expression and freedom.
  • And the essence of all is the community. Etsy is a community-based marketplace with sellers sharing knowledge, discussing ideas and building their brands. At the same time, TikTok’s unique features promote a community feel within the platform, like taking on new challenges, collaborating or even using the ‘Stitch’ feature.
