With Instagram itself already being a well-established platform used by businesses across the world, it is looking like a viable competitor for TikTok: but <strong>which platform is better to market your business through?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"tiktok-vs-reels\">TikTok vs Reels<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The most immediate difference between TikTok and Reels is <strong>video length<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both limit users to very short videos, but while <strong>TikTok allows users to record videos up to 60 seconds<\/strong> long (and longer videos recorded outside the app can be uploaded), <strong>Reels limits users to videos of 30 seconds.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TikTok includes a wide variety of filters and effects to jazz up your videos, while Reels is limited to the filters already used on Instagram Stories and has fewer effects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Filters and effects are also not separated on Reels, as they are on TikTok, meaning you are only able to choose one per video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TikTok also offers more in-depth analytics and insights, allowing you to measure in detail how your video is performing. Reels has the benefit of Instagram&#8217;s native analytics, but does not provide anything extra. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, while in-app analytics are useful, software like our own CPV Lab Pro can be used to supplement analytics if they are found lacking &#8211;<a href=\"https:\/\/cpvlab.pro\/?utm_source=blog062822\"> <strong>CPV Lab Pro comes with a powerful set of analytics tools<\/strong><\/a> designed to give businesses unmatched insight into the patterns and behaviours of potential leads and customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>And, this is an inside tip ;),  the new Version 9 comes with TikTok API integration, which means you can use server-to-server tracking for your TikTok campaigns using their API.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Paid advertising is an invaluable resource for businesses on social media: TikTok offers both advertisements and sponsored content, and personalizes its advertisements to specific user feeds. This personalization means that users are shown ads which TikTok&#8217;s algorithm deems more relevant to their interests, making targeted marketing easier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reels, however, recently introduced advertisements to the platform. Like TikTok, these ads are delivered to users they are most likely to be relevant to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"summary\">Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><\/td><td><strong>TikTok<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Reels<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><em>Video Length<\/em><\/td><td>up to 60 sec<\/td><td>30 sec<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><em>Video Effects and filters<\/em><\/td><td>variety of filters<\/td><td>limited filters already used on Instagram<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><em>Separated filters and effects<\/em><\/td><td>separated<\/td><td>not separated (one per video)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><em>Analytics<\/em><\/td><td>yes<\/td><td>yes <\/td><\/tr><tr><td><em>Paid advertisements<\/em><\/td><td>yes<\/td><td>yes<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having launched in the second half of 2020, Reels is still a comparatively new platform, and Instagram promises more is to come. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, while businesses should keep an eye on Reels &#8211; and could make the most of it if they already have a presence on Instagram &#8211; TikTok&#8217;s larger array of features makes it the current winner for short video marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ok, <strong>but how about using TikTok in affiliate marketing?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cpvlab.pro\/blog\/2022\/02\/25\/tiktok-in-affiliate-marketing\/?utm_source=blog062822\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read this article<\/a> and find out how you can take advantage of TikTok in your affiliate marketing campaigns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Short videos are quickly becoming an effective tool to market your business, particularly if you are targeting the Generation Z or Millennial demographics \ud83d\ude09 With \u201cas seen on TikTok\u201d becoming the new \u201cas seen on TV\u201d, the benefits of this new form of marketing are becoming clear.
