How To Get Sales On TikTok Shop (My $41,000/Day Case Study)

Introduction

In this article, I'll reveal exactly how I managed to sell $ 41,000 worth of products in a single day on TikTok Shop. This case study will reveal our shop setup, best practices, and actionable tips so you can achieve similar results.

Introduction to TikTok Shop Setup

Our product-selling process integrates multiple platforms seamlessly:

  1. Shopify Store: We start by adding products to our Shopify store.
  2. Skiq App: We then use the Skiq app to sync our Shopify products with TikTok Shop.
  3. TikTok Shop Seller Center: Finally, all products go live on TikTok Shop.

This streamlined process ensures all our products are readily available across various sales channels, enhancing our reach.

Case Study: $ 41,000 in One Day

The Product and Its Promotion

We achieved our $ 41,000 sales milestone using a fishing scissor, a multifunctional tool that wasn't originally one of our top sellers.

Furthermore, TikTok Shop helps drive traffic to other platforms like Amazon, eBay, and our website. Here's a detailed breakdown:

  1. Black Friday Flash Sale: TikTok Shop recommended a post-Black Friday flash sale, which we adopted.
  2. High Volume Posting: We posted 10 TikTok videos featuring the fishing scissor in a single day.
  3. Viral Video: One of these videos went viral, garnering 2.2 million views – an equivalent of a $ 200,000 ad spend on other platforms.

Why It Worked

TikTok's post-Black Friday campaign worked wonders by leveraging TikTok's own promotional algorithms. Our sale and frequent video posts provided the perfect storm for viral success.

Best Practices for TikTok Shop Content

Key Steps to Effective Content

  1. Show the Product Immediately: Introduce the product in the opening frame.

  3. Describe Features and Benefits: Spend 15-30 seconds explaining what makes your product unique.
  4. Repeat Call to Action: Conclude by reminding viewers to purchase from the TikTok Shop.

Video Examples

  • iPhone Demo Clip: Simple filming with an iPhone can work wonders. Example: A backpack video that hit 900k views.
