Analysis
- TikTok shows the ad inside the viewing feed, so the first seconds are the whole ad.
The problem
- An ad that feels like a formal lesson is skipped faster than a clear, direct scene.
- High reach does not mean the person is ready to buy.
- Use it for awareness and interest, then finish the sale on a page or in a conversation.
