This allows platform algorithms to better understand target audiences and automatically distribute ads to the most potential users. According to research from Meta and TikTok Business, using Pixel can improve average conversion rates by up to 30% compared to not using it.<\/p><p>A typical example at DPS.MEDIA with a small fashion retail client in Hanoi, after integrating TikTok Pixel, the ad campaign achieved double ROAS within 2 months, while reducing wasted budget by eliminating non-potential audience groups.<\/p><h3>Limitations of not using Pixel and common risks<\/h3><ul style=\"margin-bottom: 1.5em;\">\n<li><strong>Challenges in measuring effectiveness:<\/strong> Metrics such as conversion rate or purchase behavior are limited or not detailed.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Optimize ineffective advertising:<\/strong> The algorithm lacks accurate feedback data to increase campaign goals as before.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lost opportunity for personalized experience:<\/strong> Due to lack of behavioral data, ads are easily repeated and cause viewer boredom.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Limitations in retargeting:<\/strong> Cannot build custom audience lists based on website interactions.<\/li>\n<\/ul><h3>Quick comparison table of ad performance with and without Pixel<\/h3><table class=\"wp-list-table widefat fixed striped\" style=\"max-width:600px;\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Factors<\/th>\n<th>With Pixel<\/th>\n<th>Without Pixel<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Measure conversions<\/td>\n<td><strong>Detailed, accurate<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Interruption, limitation<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Optimize goals<\/td>\n<td>Effective, automated<\/td>\n<td>Manual, less effective<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Retargeting<\/td>\n<td>Can build specific customer groups<\/td>\n<td>Not feasible<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Advertising cost<\/td>\n<td>Optimize cost reduction<\/td>\n<td>Easily incur high costs<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Customer experience<\/td>\n<td>Personalized, engaging<\/td>\n<td>Generic, less engaging<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table><p>However, not every business can or wants to deploy Pixel immediately, especially units with technical limitations or strict compliance with privacy policies like GDPR, CCPA.

At DPS.MEDIA, we recommend SMEs focus on building systems to collect emails, phone numbers, and interaction behaviors via websites or apps through registration forms, loyalty programs, or direct interaction events.<\/p><p>This not only helps you better control customer data but also creates the ability to segment audiences with high precision. For example, an online fashion store in Hanoi increased its conversion rate to 30% by collecting customer emails before TikTok Ads campaigns, then creating Lookalike audiences from this data instead of traditional Pixel.<\/p><p><\/p><h3 style=\"font-weight:700; margin-bottom:12px;\">Behavior analysis through third-party platforms and server-to-server API<\/h3><p>To compensate for Pixel limitations, the solution <strong>API server-to-server (S2S)<\/strong> is increasingly successfully applied by marketers. Instead of sending event data directly from the customer's browser, conversion actions are transmitted directly through servers, reducing the risk of data loss due to cookie blocking or network interruptions.<\/p><p>At DPS.MEDIA, we implemented this method for a fintech startup in Ho Chi Minh City, helping optimize TikTok advertising costs. Measurement results showed significantly improved conversion reporting accuracy, while supporting TikTok's machine learning algorithms to learn faster and optimize campaigns.<\/p><p><\/p><h3 style=\"font-weight:700; margin-bottom:12px;\">Other alternative data collection tools<\/h3><ul style=\"list-style-type: disc; padding-left: 20px; margin-top: 0;\">\n<li><strong>Interaction survey template:<\/strong> Collecting direct customer insights helps both improve experience and have reliable data.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chatbots:<\/strong> Create conversation scripts to record customer behavior and needs on social media platforms.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Social Listening Tools:<\/strong> Observe habits and understand customers based on social media interactions to create reference data for analysis.<\/li>\n<\/ul><p><\/p><table class=\"wp-list-table widefat fixed striped\" style=\"max-width:600px; margin-top:10px;\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Method<\/th>\n<th>Advantages<\/th>\n<th>Limitations<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>First-Party Data<\/td>\n<td>Control data, accurate segmentation<\/td>\n<td>Requires time to build large data volume<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>API Server-to-Server<\/td>\n<td>Accurate measurement, limiting interruptions<\/td>\n<td>Complex technical integration requirements<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Chatbots & Kh\u1ea3o s\u00e1t<\/td>\n<td>Natural interaction, deep insight collection<\/td>\n<td>Depends on the level of customer engagement<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table><p><em>DPS.MEDIA's perspective:<\/em> Trong m\u00f4i tr\u01b0\u1eddng qu\u1ea3ng c\u00e1o s\u1ed1 hi\u1ec7n nay, kh\u00f4ng c\u00f3 gi\u1ea3i ph\u00e1p \u201cm\u1ed9t c\u00e1nh c\u1eeda\u201d \u0111\u1ee7 s\u1ee9c thay th\u1ebf ho\u00e0n to\u00e0n pixel.
