TikTok short videos attract tremendous traffic efficiently with low customer acquisition costs, which enables the Company to increase its brand awareness and becomes a new growth point of the Company. TikTok’s large and growing monthly active user base (MAU) is likely to provide Likeshuo with additional opportunities for brand exposure. Compared with the traditional marketing approaches, such as advertisements, the experiential marketing nature of video content makes it more compatible with the long conversion chain of decision-making products such as education. Using the front-end traffic from TikTok as a channel for brand building and communication, short videos as an emerging traffic dividend can help Likeshuo gain a large number of customers in a short period of time.
