TikTok distributes by interest rather than by follower graph, so a creator with 4,000 followers can out-reach a much larger account. That changes who you should hire, and what you should pay them.
Every approved profile is reviewed by hand, with a minimum of 2,500 followers.

Because the cost to you is the wholesale cost of what you serve rather than a cash fee, the real spend per collaboration is a fraction of the sticker value.
On Instagram, reach is mostly bounded by who already follows the account. On TikTok the For You feed decides, which means every video starts roughly from zero and is pushed out based on how the first few hundred viewers behave. A creator with a small but genuinely engaged audience can out-reach a much larger account on any given post.
This cuts both ways. It is why you should not pay a premium for follower count on TikTok, and it is also why you should expect variance: some videos land, some do not. The answer is volume.
The practical consequence for a local business is that hiring on follower count is even less useful here than it is on Instagram.
For a shop, restaurant, bar or salon in Greece, two things matter more than the follower number.
On get tagged every profile is manually reviewed by our team before it is approved, with a minimum of 2,500 followers. There are currently 500+ approved influencers in Athens, most of them squarely in that micro range.
Ten creators posting about your venue over a month gives you ten chances at the algorithm, instead of one expensive bet on a single account.
Brands that treat the archive as the deliverable tend to keep running campaigns. Brands chasing one viral hit tend to stop after two.
You never negotiate a rate. Greek creators at this size rarely have a fixed rate card, and asking for one usually starts a negotiation neither side enjoys.
Brief for both platforms
Ask for a TikTok video and an Instagram story tagging your location in the same brief. Most creators shoot once and publish to both, so it costs you nothing extra.
