While many brands recognize TikTok Shop’s potential to boost sales and discoverability, they often hesitate to get started on the platform. Concerns about content creation, budget limits, and measuring results can make it difficult to identify a starting point. How can brands start and scale on TikTok Shop?
According to social commerce expert Jana Weinstein, TikTok Shop is worth the investment. She advises brands to begin by building an authentic, organic presence through simple, consistent content to train the platform’s algorithm. Paid media can boost visibility while affiliate programs generate revenue, provided brands cultivate strong creator relationships and gamify engagement. Achieving growth on TikTok requires an intentional long-term strategy rather than a quick viral hit.
Tune in to this episode of The Digital Deep Dive as Jana Weinstein, Director of Social Commerce and Affiliate Strategy at Blue Wheel Media, returns to speak with Aaron Conant about why TikTok Shop is a long-term marketing investment. Jana shares three reasons to get started on the platform, TikTok’s recent growth and new opportunities, and how to navigate operations on TikTok Shop.
