Exclusive Discounts Drive Engagement and Sales

TikTok's algorithm favors engaging content, making it easier for both large and small brands to reach a wider audience. Promotions like "buy three, get 50% off" have become increasingly popular, encouraging users to make purchases they might not have considered otherwise. Research indicates that 40% of Gen Z consumers have made purchases directly from livestreams, demonstrating the effectiveness of this approach. By offering time-sensitive deals during live events, brands create a sense of urgency that drives sales. For example, during a recent livestream, beauty brand Canvas Beauty generated over $1 million in sales in just six hours by leveraging exclusive offers.

A Hub for Brand Discovery

TikTok has emerged as a crucial platform for brand discovery, especially among younger consumers. Many shoppers report discovering new brands and products through TikTok videos, making it an essential marketing channel for businesses looking to expand their reach. The TikTok Shop ecosystem continues to grow, with over 200,000 sellers and 100,000 creators in the U.S. By offering co-funded shipping incentives and leveraging TikTok's algorithm during promotional events, brands can maximize visibility while reducing costs.
