Which is Better for Brand Marketing: Snapchat or TikTok?

Many firms have grown their products and attracted clients from various social media pages for a long time. However, these social networking apps are currently not bringing in a lot of business for many firms. Consumer habits have evolved, therefore running ads just on Facebook and Instagram is no longer enough to draw in business. The way that an app may track user behavior has changed in Apple iOS; marketers are finding it more difficult and expensive to attract new customers.

Brands no longer just use Meta platforms for their advertising. They are experimenting with new platforms as well, such as TikTok, however, it is not without its difficulties. Numerous DTC (direct-to-customer) firms employed Meta to advertise their goods; however, these days, they are evaluating the efficacy of their marketing by customer acquisition cost (CAC), which is a challenging process.

Many platforms are unable to share CAC data with companies since they do not even have conversion statistics. Companies that want to draw in customers through innovative marketing strategies must put in extra effort. A few brands also use return on ad spend (ROAS) and cost per order (CPO) as metrics for data measurement. In Q2 of 2024, 150 brands were tracked by Measured, a company that measures ads.

The advertising costs were calculated using CPO. With a customer acquisition cost of $64.31, Snapchat is the least expensive platform for brand advertising, according to its results. Pinned ($92.40), TikTok ($139.58), and Meta ($83.16) come next. With a price tag of $158.96 for brands, Reddit is the priciest site. Only 12% of companies ran advertisements on Snapchat in Q2 2024, compared to 79% on Meta. Of the brands, 5 percent ran advertisements on Reddit and 47% on TikTok.

TikTok has a greater cost per order than other platforms, yet advertisers are still getting a good return on investment (ROAS) on the platform. Additionally, TikTok opened its Shop online store in the USA last year, and young people are starting to use it. This demonstrates that brands prefer TikTok to Meta when it comes to using the platform to promote their goods. Advertisers ought to attempt promoting their businesses on Snapchat as well.
