A loved product, an under-used channel.
The brand had a strong product, but TikTok Shop was doing roughly $214K a year — driven mostly by the brand’s own videos. Creators drove only about a third of sales, there was no targeted creator outreach, and ads returned ≈3.4× with no margin-based plan behind them.
From $37K to $166K a month
August alone delivered ≈77% of the previous year’s entire GMV.
* September 2026 covers Sep 1–25 only — already $153.7K. Peak day: $14.2K (Aug 29).
Targeted creators: $0 → $101K a month
What changed when we switched on a targeted creator program in June.
* Sep 1–23. Jan–Sep creator-attributed GMV: $375.9K from 2,093 videos and 2,826 LIVE streams.
