TikTok has rapidly grown into one of the most powerful tools to reach younger audiences — especially Generation Alpha (Zalpha), Generation Z, and younger Millennials. For independent opticians, being present on TikTok today means connecting with the customers of tomorrow, but also — and especially — with their parents today.

If an independent optician has a TikTok account, it should contain only trendy, youthful Reels. Sharing information about myopia management is highly recommended, but keep it playful and use humor regularly! Always provide classy, relevant information specifically tailored to this age group. And always refer viewers back to your beautiful Instagram account!

Important: For teenagers, TikTok is “the truth” and often their primary (or only) source of information. Follow TikTok trends! Ask GEN Alpha for advice!

This is why TikTok is important:

• Enormous reach:
  TikTok now has more than 1.5 billion active users per month — and that number is growing very quickly.
• Younger generations set the pace:
  Most users are under 35, which means your future customers are already active here. These TikTok users are also usually very active on YouTube and Instagram!
• Incredible engagement:
  People spend an average of about 95 minutes per day on TikTok — more than on any other social platform.
• Discovery drives growth:
  Users actively search for brands, products, and local shops through videos. This is where new customers will discover you first.
• Authenticity wins:
  Simple, real, and fun videos perform best — show your team, your frames, and your expertise in a natural way.
