New Study Highlights Key Trends for Increased TikTok Engagement

Leave a comment


Reading this, you’ll discover 2023 data-based best practices for a successful TikTok strategy.

BUCHAREST, Romania, Sept. 27, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Initially positioning itself as the only platform dedicated exclusively to short-form video content, with the launch of a brand new post format, TikTok is expected to raise even more challenges for marketers looking to increase their brand’s exposure through the platform’s unique set of features and continuously growing userbase.

To help digital marketers better understand TikTok’s algorithm, in an attempt to create a more effective content strategy, Socialinsider – a top social media analytics, benchmarking, and social listening tool has conducted a study consisting in the analysis of more than 600K videos to uncover the latest performance trends and best practices for TikTok marketing in 2023.

From an engagement perspective, a decreasing tendency has been sizable ever since the beginning of the year.

What this new TikTok benchmarks study highlights and puts an emphasis on is how engagement fluctuates depending on various factors, like integrating a mention or not, an original sound, or a trendy song, all for different account sizes.

A couple of the most noteworthy findings of the research were that when integrating a trendy song, the smallest accounts (those below 5K followers) get a chance to increase their engagement by 20%. Furthermore, as indicated by data, for these same accounts, another tactic that has proven successful in generating more engagement is integrating a mention. This is a strategy that works exclusively for the smallest accounts because TikTok’s algorithm favors the newest, fast-growing profiles.

Reversely, for accounts that have already established a large follower base, most of the engagement comes from their community, being less pushed for discovery by new people, and therefore, a mention integration is not that relevant and does not lead toward an engagement lift.

By engagement, Socialinsider defines a post’s sum of interactions – including likes, comments, shares, and saves, then divided by the number of video views and multiplied by 100 to get the average engagement rate.

For more engagement on their TikTok videos, marketers should “leverage relevant news and industry topics since those are great ways to provide value and hot takes on timely and trending content,” said Adina Jipa, co-founder at Socialinsider.

Since TikTok is a video-centered social platform, KPIs such as video views or the average watch time also represent some of the vitally important metrics marketers need to monitor in order to evaluate their performance, topics that were also covered in the study introduced.

Socialinsider’s formula to calculate the average watch rate consists of a post’s views count divided by the total number of followers and multiplied by 100.

According to data, TikTok’s video view rate – a metric also known as watch rate – stands at an average of 14.49%, registering a 10% decrease compared to last year’s values.

Aiming to uncover what are the most effective content approaches for a successful TikTok strategy, Socialinsider’s research analyzed the platform’s average video view rate from multiple angles, correlating it with variables such as video and caption length.

Among the most notable performance benchmarks that the study has revealed are the stats indicating that shorter captions lead to a higher video view rate, as follows: captions with less than 10 words generate an average video view rate of 10.25%, those between 20-30 words a video view rate of 8.24% while the numbers continue to lower down as the caption length increases.

Lastly, the research also indicated that shorter videos perform better than longer ones and that after exceeding a 15-second video length, TikTok’s average video view rate decreases by 16.55%.

Top global companies, including TBWA, VMLY&R, Booking.com, Rolls-Royce, Volvo, and Mitsubi, use Socialinsider to enhance their social media performance. Users can experience the benefits of Socialinsider’s comprehensive features and analytics firsthand with a 14-day free trial.

Quintus Cold Isostatic Press to Join World-Class Equipment Lineup at China’s Lingchuang Special Material Co.

Leave a comment


World’s Largest CIP Will Boost High-Quality Domestic Graphite Supply for Growing Solar, Electronics, and Metallurgical Markets

VÄSTERÅS, Sweden, Sept. 27, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — A supersized Cold Isostatic Press (CIP) from Quintus Technologies will be instrumental in the quest by China’s Henan Lingchuang Special Material Co. to raise the bar for domestically produced high-quality Isostatic Graphite.

With its sights set on securing a place as market leader in both product quality and production efficiency, Lingchuang will install a Quintus press model QIC 2.4 x 4.5 – 2000 to maximize operation and output capabilities. The press itself is setting new standards, with its world’s-largest vessel dimension—2400 mm x 4500 mm (7.87′ x 14.7′)—along with a new energy management system that offers energy savings of more than 30 percent compared to conventional intensifier solutions.

“Lingchuang is committed to building itself into a domestic first-class special carbon material production enterprise,” notes the company’s Vice President, Zhongxin Zhao, adding that the Quintus press is part of its key equipment.

“In order to ensure the stability and consistency of product quality that reaches the international level, we have adopted the most advanced technology that has been proved in production at home and abroad,” Mr. Zhongxin Zhao continues. “Our key equipment is mainly imported, and the production process has reached a high degree of automation, stability, and environmental protection.”

Quintus Cold Isostatic Presses offer the safest, most durable, and reliable pressure containment system ever designed. Subsystem components are optimized for maximum throughput and precise control of pressurization and depressurization for consistent results. Lingchuang’s CIP will be equipped with a new, first-of-its-kind feature: a redesigned pressure vessel that is fully floating during pressurizing, extending the life of the guide rail system and ensuring maintenance-free operation over a very long period of time.

“Coming from the pioneer of wire-winding technology, Quintus equipment has a high reputation in the global industry,” says Mr. Zhongxin Zhao. “We believe that it will well meet our requirements for high-end isostatic graphite production.”

Lingchuang has also elected to participate in a long-term Quintus® Care Program, a rigorous agreement that ensures flawless press operation and equipment maintenance. The program provides for application support, high availability of spare and wear parts, and guaranteed and prioritized technical support. It also includes annual press inspections, training, and recertification of Lingchuang personnel to maintain and elevate their skills.

“Lingchuang is a young company with a far-ranging outlook,” comments Jan Söderström, CEO of Quintus Technologies. “Its founders saw opportunity in the shortage of domestic high-end specialty graphite materials, and they are investing astutely in world-class equipment to take a leading position in that space. We are very pleased to be part of their plan,” he concludes.
