Content That Connects
What kind of content gets people talking during Ramadan? Well, users are drawn to a blend of religious themes, delightful cooking and recipe ideas, shopping content, and heartwarming acts of kindness. TikTok clearly understands that to make an impact, brands need to align their messages with the emotions and experiences that resonate with users.
Embracing E-Commerce
Did you know that TikTok is transforming into a shopping hub? The platform is encouraging brands to ramp up their engagements during Ramadan, tapping into that festive shopping spirit. Speaking of shopping, it’s no secret that Ramadan sees a noticeable surge in online purchases. Many people are actively searching for gifts and clothing to celebrate the holiday.
Focus on the Indonesian Market
While the guide offers lots of general information, it pays particular attention to the Indonesian market. It dives into different ad types and objectives which can be beneficial for brands targeting that vibrant audience. Even though Ramadan is already well underway, it’s not too late for brands to jump in and participate in the ongoing celebrations.
The Influence of Social Media
Have you noticed that social media influencers gain significant traction during Ramadan? In the Middle East, these influencers are especially active, shaping the way people observe the holiday. While some critics argue that influencers sometimes end up commercializing religious observances, many commend them for positively impacting traditions and practices.
The UAE and Online Presence
If you’re wondering why a focus on social media makes sense, consider this: in the United Arab Emirates, a whopping 99% of the population is online. This leads to a spike in social media activity during Ramadan, particularly in countries like Saudi Arabia and Qatar. It’s a ripe opportunity for brands to capitalize on.
The Themes That Matter
Pretty neat, right? Some popular themes among influencers during Ramadan include showcasing beautifully decorated Iftar tables and collaborating with local brands for special collections. These efforts not only celebrate the occasion but also create a sense of community. Some experts even believe that influencers can promote inclusivity in family traditions, encouraging more male engagement in activities like cooking and decorating.
Cutting Down Food Waste
Interestingly, influencers are also taking part in campaigns aimed at reducing food waste during Ramadan. This aligns well with the month’s values of generosity and community. Engaging with influencers can help younger Muslims connect more personally with their traditions, making Ramadan even more meaningful.
Noticing the Shift in Digital Engagement
A recent report shows that digital platform engagement skyrockets during Ramadan, especially on TikTok and YouTube. For instance, TikTok reports an incredible 8% increase in entertainment content consumption, a 22% spike in sports content, and a 23% rise in food-related content during this holy month. YouTube, on the other hand, has noted a remarkable 2.3-fold increase in searches for Islamic content among Malaysian viewers.
The Connected Household
Let’s talk about connectivity: households in the MENA region average 14 internet-connected devices each, showcasing the region’s high online presence. Around 72% of online activity now takes place outside traditional social media platforms. This shift indicates that people are utilizing the internet in diverse ways, making it essential for brands to adjust their marketing strategies accordingly.
A Blend of Traditional and Modern
While social media is on the rise, don’t count out traditional television during Ramadan. It remains a vital source of entertainment, with dramas featuring themes of faith and community. Streaming services are not left behind; they’ve rolled out pop-up channels and curated sections focused on Ramadan, and guess what? Increased viewership is reported during this period!
Final Thoughts
In a nutshell, TikTok’s Ramadan Marketing Guide is an excellent resource for brands wanting to enhance their engagement during this holy month.
