The study employs quantitative analysis to provide empirical insights into the ways in which TikTok influences user interactions and marketing outcomes. The results should be extremely beneficial in advancing knowledge of social media marketing tactics and how well they work on TikTok, with particular attention to the useful implications for companies looking to use this platform for customer interaction and brand promotion. Overall, by applying rigorous quantitative methodologies to evaluate TikTok’s efficacy and influence in the field of digital marketing, this research offers a comprehensive analysis of the platform’s marketing potential.
