Impact

Although Leila and Adam had been posting on other social media platforms, it wasn’t until they posted on TikTok that they saw a big increase in website traffic and bookings. TikTok’s visual medium and reach allow them to reach an audience far beyond Florida, and turn those views into visitors.
