In short

Bible BFF, a Bible app that narrates stories for Gen Z, grew on TikTok with relatable creators sharing a pain point and videos showing the product in use, such as listening in the car. A December 11th video was still performing months later. Lesson: for impulse products, use relatable creators, show the product if it is naturally viral, and repost creator winners via collab posts.

From Bible BFF growth notes

What was said about Bible BFF

  • Bible BFF builds its videos around people actually using the app. Because the app is an impulse buy and naturally viral, its videos show it in use, such as people listening to Bible stories in the car. Those car videos were still performing months after posting, and a December 11th video is still going.

    The rule given is to show the product only when the product itself is viral. For dull products like flight savings or business buying, the demo screens are boring, so those brands lead with the result and the creator's credibility instead.

  • Relatable creators on TikTok suit a Gen Z impulse purchase. Bible BFF cast relatable creators who share the audience's pain point, rather than credentialed experts. This fits an impulse buy, unlike considered purchases such as travel, where Jetpack opened with ex-flight attendants.

    Platform follows audience age. Bible BFF and shopping apps blow up on TikTok, which reaches 18 to 25 year olds. Facebook and Instagram suit older audiences of 30 to 40 year olds.

  • Bible BFF reposts winning creator videos on its own brand page. When a creator video reaches about 20,000 views, it gets reposted on the brand's main page, preferably as an Instagram collab post. Bible BFF and Dupe.com both do this and the reposts still go viral.

    Reposting does not hurt the original views. The video can pick up additional views, and the brand page benefits too.
