How to Skyrocket Sales on TikTok Live: 3 Must-Do Tactics for Success

TikTok, a social platform that is popular in over 150 countries around the world and boasts nearly one billion active users, has already become a huge treasure trove of traffic. Users spend approximately three hours on TikTok every day on average. Among them, around 62% are female, and the young demographic aged between 20 and 39 accounts for about 45.9% of the user base.


 Facing such a vast and highly consumer-potential traffic market, numerous sellers have flocked to it, trying to explore new business growth points through video creation, live streaming sales, marketing promotion, and other means. However, as more and more sellers enter the market, the competition in the TikTok live streaming field has become increasingly fierce. How can one stand out in this red ocean and achieve massive sales growth?



Next, we will reveal the three core strategies to boost sales in the live streaming room and share how 4Seller provides comprehensive support for sellers to help skyrocket their store sales!



I. Four Key Points for Traffic Attraction - Injecting Massive Traffic into TikTok Live Streaming Rooms
 TikTok, with its large traffic pool and untapped blue ocean of traffic, has attracted countless merchants to shift their advertising and marketing positions here. Compared with short videos, live streaming sales are more intuitive, and users can interact with the hosts in real-time, which greatly enhances the trust between the brand and the users. It is truly an excellent tool for product promotion.



However, different from daily sharing short videos, the promotional short videos before the start of a TikTok live stream play a vital role. The content of the promotional short videos must closely match the theme of the live streaming room so as to achieve accurate conversion of traffic. At the same time, considering that the majority of TikTok users are young people, the promotional short videos need to cater to their preferences, incorporate novel and interesting elements, and create gimmicks by combining with hot topics to achieve effective dissemination of the videos.



For example, during festive marketing periods such as Halloween and Christmas, content full of fun and freshness is often more popular. In addition, young people generally prefer exaggerated and brightly colored visual effects, so promotional short videos often use content with a strong visual impact in terms of appearance.



The promotional short videos also need to clearly convey several key elements to the users: the start time of the live streaming room, the theme of the live streaming room, and the reasons for users to watch the live streaming room. Specifically, it can be carried out from the following aspects:

Pay attention to the date and time of publishing promotional short videos
 Generally, it is appropriate to publish promotional short videos about an hour before the live stream starts, so that users can enter the live streaming room when they brush across the videos. For important promotional events, operation staff need to publish preview videos a few days in advance and clearly inform users of the specific date and time of the live stream in the videos.

Clarify the purpose of the live streaming room
 The core content of the promotional short videos is to clearly convey the theme of the live streaming room to the target consumers. Its main shooting techniques include story reporting type, product reporting type, and subtitle reporting type.


 Take the promotional short video for diaper live streaming as an example. The host tells the story of encountering a toilet leak, making it dirtier when using tissues to deal with it, and finally successfully solving the problem with diapers that have good water absorption. At the end of the video, it is previewed that these diapers with good water absorption will have a live promotion from 9 am to 1 pm the next day, with exclusive preferential prices, and users are reminded with subtitles to participate in the live event on time.

Emphasize the reasons for entering the live streaming room
 Among numerous TikTok live streaming rooms, to attract consumers to enter our live streaming room, the content of the promotional short videos must provide users with a sufficient reason. "Having what others don't have and being better at what others have" is an important factor to attract consumers to enter the live streaming room.

Pay attention to the timeliness of promotional short videos
 The biggest difference between promotional short videos and regular short videos lies in their timeliness. Too many promotional short videos will affect the consistency of the brand account. Therefore, it is recommended to hide the promotional short videos after the live stream ends instead of deleting them. Because after hiding the videos, the data such as likes, comments, and shares will still be retained in the background. Once deleted, these data will disappear together, which will affect the weight of the account to a certain extent.



In addition, operation staff also need to conduct data analysis on the promotional short videos to continuously optimize the video content and attract more traffic to the live streaming room.



At the same time, the selection of the cover of the promotional short video cannot be ignored. A clear and interesting cover is more attractive to users when they browse the videos. 


 For example, a picture of a female host holding shoes and clothes with the cover text "Amazon Thanksgiving Day Outfit" can clearly convey the theme of the video and accurately attract interested users to watch. When publishing promotional short videos, sellers can also add relevant hot topics in the title, body text, tags, cover, etc., such as "#Thanksgiving Day", "#NewYork", etc. By leveraging the popularity of hot topics, it can bring more traffic to the videos and convert it to the live streaming room.



II. Master the Operation Skills of TikTok Live Streaming to Retain Viewers and Facilitate Order Placement
 Not all products are suitable for sale in TikTok live streaming. Sellers who want to achieve great sales in TikTok live streaming rooms must choose the right products for live streaming sales. A successful live streaming room has certain requirements in terms of layout, product price, host, and live streaming content:

Background Decoration
 When users enter the live streaming room, the first thing that catches their eye is the background of the live streaming room. When laying out the background of the live streaming room, it should be kept simple, highlighting the theme of the live stream and the product display, and placing the discount information of the live streaming room in a prominent position to enhance the attractiveness to consumers. The background decoration methods of different product categories also vary:

3C Digital Products
 


Brands in this category pay more attention to a sense of technology. Operation staff can use the method of projection to display product information on the background board, enhancing the technological atmosphere of the live streaming room. Through projection display, when the host explains the product features, users can more clearly and intuitively understand the product functions.

Home and Living Products
 


When displaying products, the main products should be placed in a prominent position, such as in the middle of the live streaming table. If the product price is favorable, it is recommended to enlarge the sticker to highlight the price advantage, which is very effective for price-sensitive users.

Beauty and Personal Care Products
 


For the background decoration, a professional makeup cabinet or a projection background board can be selected. During the live stream, the host needs to focus on demonstrating the usage effects of beauty products. At the same time, operation staff should switch the close-up and long-shot of the live streaming camera in a timely manner. The close-up can show the product details, color test effects, and facial makeup details, while the long-shot helps the host interact with users and promotes users to place orders.

Apparel Products
 


The host needs to focus on showing the wearing effect of the apparel, so it is best to show the whole body. Operation staff can use stickers in the live streaming room to indicate the host's height, weight, and other information, providing a reference for users. The display methods of different apparel categories also have some differences. For example, when live streaming children's clothing in a maternal and infant special session, the size of the children's clothing can be shown by comparing it with dolls. In a live stream of waist trainer products, a male model can be selected to show the elasticity effect of the product, highlighting the product quality and dispelling users' concerns.

Product Price
 


Observations show that the prices of products sold in TikTok live streaming rooms usually range from $10 to $45. Products with too low or too high unit prices have a relatively narrow audience, while most people are willing to purchase their favorite products through the live streaming room within this price range. This phenomenon is closely related to the user group of TikTok, which is mainly composed of Gen Z young people. Gen Z users are keen on impulsive consumption and pursue new and interesting things, which also brings business opportunities for merchants. Blind boxes, wigs, beauty products, nail art, DIY tool kits, accessories, home products, smart products, etc. have all achieved good sales results in TikTok live streaming rooms.

Host
 The hosts of TikTok live streaming rooms for different products have their own characteristics, but they all possess in-depth knowledge of the products they promote, excellent language organization skills, and good interaction ability with the users in the live streaming room. In addition, for TikTok live streaming sales, it is suitable to select young, energetic, and good-looking hosts, which reflects the market trend.



Specific requirements for hosts include: having good communication, influence, and guiding abilities; mastering professional industry knowledge and being able to introduce products in detail and demonstrate their selling points; having strong oral presentation skills, field control ability, rhythm control ability, and on-the-spot adaptability; during the live stream, showing strong influence through product explanation, display, language, and body movements.



At the same time, the live streaming script needs to be planned in advance, incorporating interactive chats and naturally implanting marketing information around the preset topics. Hosts should avoid problems such as poor speech fluency, highly repetitive content, and forced shopping during their expressions, and also should not remain silent for a long time. In addition, the host's makeup and appearance should match the theme of the live streaming room. For example, it is not appropriate to wear heavy makeup when selling maternal and infant products, and the choice of clothing should avoid excessive exposure and the risk of accidental exposure.

Live Streaming Content
 A high-quality live streaming sales event cannot be separated from the careful planning of the live streaming content. Although live streaming is dynamic, the theme and general sales ideas of the live streaming room need to be planned in advance, covering aspects such as the purpose of the live stream, atmosphere creation, discount setting, and the number of products arranged.


Taking the live streaming of puzzle toys such as game consoles, Rubik's Cubes, and Sudoku as an example, in addition to explaining and selling products, it is more important to capture the psychology of consumers. By having the host interact and actually play with the puzzle toys in the live streaming room while explaining, and truly presenting the elements of "fun and interesting", it can enhance users' curiosity and stimulate their purchasing desire.



III. Avoid Common Mistakes in TikTok Live Streaming to Ensure a Smooth Live Stream
 Sellers also need to pay attention to many matters during the TikTok live streaming process:



First of all, ensuring the clarity of the live streaming room's broadcast screen is crucial. During the live stream, professional live streaming equipment is usually required for recording and filling light to ensure that the screen pixels are clear and leave a good impression on users. Sellers should debug the lighting, equipment, and network in advance to present the best live streaming effect.



Secondly, the preferential discounts and free lottery activities of merchants can effectively attract users to enter the live streaming room. During the live stream, the host should pay attention to interacting with users and compare the prices before and after the discount when introducing the product price. At the same time, regularly carry out lottery and small gift distribution activities to maintain users' enthusiasm for watching.



Finally, when conducting TikTok live streaming, sellers should fully consider the local consumption habits, select products accordingly, and adopt the ways that local users like for live streaming.
