How To Set Up A TikTok Ads Campaign

Introduction

Today, we're going to provide you a step-by-step guide on creating a TikTok ads campaign to promote your dropshipping business. This article will walk you through each step and show how to set up your TikTok ad campaign, assuming you have your TikTok ads account ready. If not, please refer to a video tutorial on creating and setting up your TikTok ad account.

Setting Up Your Campaign

  1. Access the Campaign Tab: Once you're on your TikTok ads dashboard, click on the Campaign tab.

  2. Create a New Campaign: Click the red Create button to enter the ad creation page. Select Advanced mode for more customization options rather than the Basic mode, which offers limited control.

  3. Campaign Objective: Choose Website Conversions if you're promoting a dropshipping store and aiming for website visits leading to purchases.

  4. Label Your Campaign: Label the campaign so you can distinguish it later. For example, you can name it "Campaign Zen Drop One".

  5. Campaign Budget Optimization (CBO): Enable this feature which allows multiple ad sets within the same campaign to share the same budget. This feature helps in automatically distributing the budget among ads based on performance.

  6. Set Your Daily Budget: A minimum CBO spend is $ 50 per day. Enter your budget and continue to the next step.

Creating Ad Groups

  1. Name Your Ad Set: Label the ad set, such as "Ad Set One."

  2. Connect a TikTok Pixel: This tracking code helps optimize your ads by monitoring clicks, cart additions, and conversions on your website. Install the TikTok app on Shopify and create a new pixel.

  3. Select Ad Placements: Choose Select Placement and deselect other options to limit your ads to TikTok exclusively.

  4. Targeting Options:

    • Set location to your desired target, such as the United States.
    • Choose All Genders.
    • Set the age range to 18 and up to avoid non-purchasing audience exposure.
    • Keep other interests and settings as default for initial testing.

  5. Budget and Schedule:

    • Ensure the daily budget aligns with your CBO of $ 50.
    • Run ads from 8:00 AM to Midnight for optimal results.

  6. Optimization and Delivery:

    • Keep conversion optimization as Maximum Delivery.
    • Leave advanced settings as default and proceed.

Running and Testing Ads

  • If you're on a tight budget, stick with one campaign and monitor its performance.
  • If you have more budget for testing, duplicate the campaign 4-5 times to see which version performs better.
  • After a few days, you can cut down on underperforming campaigns and increase the budget on the successful ones.
