If you’ve been searching for the perfect spot to grow your boutique or wholesale business on social media, look no further. I’ve been in the trenches, deciphering the ever-changing landscape of social media, and I’m here to share some insider tips – especially on the super dynamic platform of TikTok.
Why TikTok?
TikTok allows for immediate virality. A single engaging video can propel your boutique to the forefront of millions. And guess what? TikTok loves showcasing small businesses.
InstantBoss – A Community Like No Other
Before we dive into the nitty-gritty of TikTok trends, let me shout out the amazing InstantBoss free Facebook group for boutique owners and wholesalers. This group, with its whopping 23,000 members, is a sanctuary for like-minded business owners.
It’s a space teeming with community vibes, and it’s not just about networking – it’s about forging genuine connections. If you’re not part of this group yet, you’re definitely missing out!
Riding the TikTok Trend Wave
Here are some TikTok trends that are making waves right now:
1. Duets and Stitch:
By using these features, you can either collaborate with another user or remix their content. Think about showcasing two different ways to style an outfit from your boutique, or better yet, collaborate with an influencer!
2. Trending Sounds and Challenges:
Stay updated with trending songs and challenges. Repurpose them to fit your boutique’s branding. A fun dance showcasing your new collection? Yes, please!
3. Behind-the-Scenes (BTS):
People love to see the inner workings of a business. Show them your stockroom, the packaging process, or even a day in your life. Authenticity is key!
Tools to Keep You Ahead
To ensure you’re always in the loop with the latest in the boutique world and on social media, you must check out the InstantBoss Community app.
This isn’t just any app; it’s the compass for your boutique business.
