- 0:00far more than the management fee. It
- 0:02costs.
- 0:05Look, I've been on a lot of calls with
- 0:07e-commerce leaders running brands doing
- 0:095, 30, even 100 million a year in
- 0:10revenue. And I keep hearing the same
- 0:12problem. They launch Tik Tok shop, they
- 0:13send out some product samples, few
- 0:15creators posted, but consistent GMBB
- 0:17never materialized. And after 1 2 3 or 4
- 0:20months, Tik Tok falls on the back burner
- 0:22and the launch gets chocked up to, well,
- 0:24maybe it doesn't work for us or we'll
- 0:25figure it out when we have the time.
- 0:27Meanwhile, I can see their competitor
- 0:28doing an extra 100, 300, even 500,000
- 0:31per month. I'm going to tell you what
- 0:33went wrong for that brand. And how if
- 0:35you're in this situation, you can
- 0:36succeed on Tik Tok and beat your
- 0:38competitors. If your brand is doing over
- 0:4010 million, one of these is probably
- 0:42true right now. Your Tik Tok shop is
- 0:43live, but you don't have a dedicated
- 0:45team working on it. Someone is managing
- 0:46it on top of everything else. It gets
- 0:48attention when things go wrong, and it
- 0:50gets ignored when things get busy. Two,
- 0:52you ran an affiliate program, sent
- 0:53samples, half the creators ghosted, the
- 0:55other half posted once and then
- 0:57disappeared. Sales trickled in but never
- 0:58compounded, so the channel got written
- 1:00off. Or number three, you've had some
- 1:03wins. A product caught a viral moment,
- 1:04but it felt random. You're reacting.
- 1:06You're not driving GMBB. When GMBB
- 1:08spikes, you scramble on inventory
- 1:10instead of having a system that keeps it
- 1:11in stock. None of these problems are Tik
- 1:14Tok problems. These are systems
- 1:15problems. What Tik Tok shop actually
- 1:18requires is four separate skill sets
- 1:19working together. creator sourcing and
- 1:22sampling, managing and building a
- 1:23creator community, running advertising,
- 1:26and managing the project and the
- 1:27strategy overall. Most internal teams
- 1:30have just one person trying to do all
- 1:31four of those. And guess what? Everyone
- 1:32skips the hardest part that delivers the
- 1:35most sales. Building the creator
- 1:36community. You need a managed Discord
- 1:39community with incentive programs,
- 1:41weekly competitions, FOMO mechanics
- 1:43designed to turn the creators who posted
- 1:45once into creators who post every day.
- 1:48For example, we run programs like
- 1:50whoever creates the most videos this
- 1:51week gets AirPods. Whoever hits the
- 1:52highest GMV this month gets a $500 gift
- 1:54card. It sounds simple, but building an
- 1:57engaged community that posts regularly
- 1:58is hard. Takes a lot of work. And it's
- 2:00what separates a brand like Comfort that
- 2:02does over 36 million per year with a
- 2:05brand that gets a few sales and says, "I
- 2:07guess our product doesn't work on Tik
- 2:08Tok." On Tik Tok, video count is going
- 2:11to be your biggest driver of GMV. More
- 2:13video equals more views, which equals
- 2:15more GMBB. It's that direct and that
- 2:18creator community, that's the engine
- 2:19that keeps the video count growing. Let
- 2:21me tell you a story about a client that
- 2:22came and worked with us. Dano Seasonings
- 2:24came to us with a Tik Tok shop that was
- 2:26running. Dan crushes it on the organic
- 2:28side. They weren't leveraging a creator
- 2:29community to sell their products. Within
- 2:3160 days, we took them from 60K per month
- 2:35to 290K per month. The secret? We just
- 2:38built a 294 member creator community
- 2:40that drove 54,000 in GMBB in the first
- 2:43month. And then when they launched their
- 2:44new products, we activated that
- 2:46community and more and they saw 58% GMV
- 2:49growth in the two weeks that followed.
- 2:51That's not a lucky moment. That's a
- 2:53system producing consistent compounding
- 2:55output. We have a creator community
- 2:57showing up every day, posting every day,
- 2:59and we incentivize them to keep going.
- 3:01We've built this same system for brands
- 3:04across categories, and the results
- 3:05follow the same pattern every time. More
- 3:07creators posting, more videos equals
- 3:10more GMV. and a Tik Tok channel that
- 3:12becomes a real win internally. My name
- 3:14is Josh Raw. Before I started Ambbleell
- 3:1710 years ago, I was a brand owner
- 3:18selling on Amazon. I experienced
- 3:20firsthand what it takes to sell online.
- 3:22Complexity, the time, the expertise, the
- 3:23agencies that overpromise and underdel.
- 3:25So, I built an agency that I wanted, one
- 3:27that is goal-oriented, datadriven, and
- 3:29has the expertise required to deliver.
- 3:31Nearly 10 years later, we've added well
- 3:33over 100 million in revenue across more
- 3:35than a 100 brands on Amazon and Tik Tok.
- 3:37Working with brands like M&M's, Little
- 3:39Spoon, Field and Stream, WeHa Tools,
- 3:41Wooles, just to name a few. All of these
- 3:44are brands that I love working with, and
- 3:45there's awesome people at those brands.
- 3:48We know what consistent channel growth
- 3:49looks like and what it takes to deliver
- 3:51it. About 2 years ago, I saw what was
- 3:53coming with Tik Tok Shop. Gen Z was
- 3:55doing the majority of their product
- 3:56discovery there, and they were about to
- 3:58become the biggest buying cohort in the
- 3:59market. Tik Tok felt just like Amazon
- 4:01did 10 years ago, a window of
- 4:03opportunity for e-commerce leaders with
- 4:05the guts to go after it. So, I built a
- 4:07Tik Tok shop agency the same way I built
- 4:09the Amazon side by going deep before
- 4:11going wide. Our senior Tik Tok shop
- 4:13managers come from Tik Tok where they
- 4:15run creator programs for big brands like
- 4:16Shark, Bissell, Ninja. They've built
- 4:18massive creator communities for our
- 4:20clients that drive thousands upon
- 4:21thousands in monthly revenue. Our Tik
- 4:23Tok team lives and breathes Tik Tok
- 4:25Shop. Now, here's the biggest thing
- 4:26people miss when evaluating Tik Tok shop
- 4:29ROI. When a video gets real traction, a
- 4:32creator posts about your product and the
- 4:33video starts moving. It's going viral.
- 4:35People are seeing it. A huge portion of
- 4:37viewers don't buy on Tik Tok. They go to
- 4:39Amazon, search your product name, read
- 4:41the reviews, and buy there instead. That
- 4:42sale shows up in your Amazon numbers.
- 4:44Tik Tok never gets credit for it. That's
- 4:46a halo effect, and it's one of the most
- 4:48consistently underestimated benefits of
- 4:50selling on Tik Tok. Brands that evaluate
- 4:52Tik Tok just on GMV alone, you're only
- 4:54measuring half the results. We track
- 4:56Amazon and DTOC sales lists for every
- 4:58client we manage because the full value
- 5:00of Tik Tok shop only becomes clear when
- 5:02you look at the whole business, not just
- 5:04one channel. Working with us is
- 5:06straightforward and easy. It's a simple
- 5:07flat fee with a shared revenue
- 5:09incentive, no hidden fees, no add-ons,
- 5:11no long-term contracts, and we'll do
- 5:13everything you need to run a successful
- 5:14Tik Tok shop. creator sourcing and
- 5:16seating to ensure you get the right
- 5:17creators, creator briefs and training
- 5:20for those creators to help them create
- 5:21top tier videos. Community management
- 5:23and relationship building on Discord so
- 5:25these creators stick around and keep
- 5:27posting. GMBB advertising to accelerate
- 5:29views and drive more sales. And of
- 5:31course, bi-weekly strategy and reporting
- 5:33calls with your dedicated team so you
- 5:35get accountability and accessibility. We
- 5:38show up and report on what we got done
- 5:40and how we're going to hit your goals.
- 5:41All we ask for is a 90-day initial
- 5:43commitment because that's the minimum to
- 5:45build the creator community and seed it
- 5:47scale and give the channel a real chance
- 5:48to show what it can do. After 90 days,
- 5:50it's just month-to-month. No long-term
- 5:52contracts. We earn your business each
- 5:54month by delivering. By day 45, your
- 5:56creator foundation is built. By day 60,
- 5:58the community is active. Creators are
- 6:00posting consistently and ads are live.
- 6:02By day 90, you have a real signal. You
- 6:04keep running ecom, we'll manage and grow
- 6:06your Tik Tok shop. There's two questions
- 6:08worth answering right now. One, should
- 6:09we just try this internally first?
- 6:11Frankly, most teams that go this route
- 6:13discover quickly that Tik Tok shop
- 6:14requires three or four different skill
- 6:16sets and at least 40 hours per month to
- 6:19run properly. It's not one person's job.
- 6:21The 6 months spent building a half
- 6:23system usually costs far more than the
- 6:25management fee. It costs time, loss of
- 6:27momentum, and creator relationships and
- 6:29the buying that you work so hard to get
- 6:31from leadership. Now, what if Tik Tok
- 6:33shop doesn't work for our category?
- 6:35That's exactly what the first 90 days
- 6:37answers. We build the system, run it
- 6:39right, and give you real data. By day
- 6:4190, you have conviction either way based
- 6:43on actual creator performance, GMV, and
- 6:45what the channel's producing. Clarity
- 6:47either way is the outcome, and that's
- 6:48worth the investment alone. One step, if
- 6:51you're a retail brand doing over 10
- 6:52million on any channel, and Tik Tok Shop
- 6:54is not launched, stalled, or
- 6:56underinvested, book a strategy call with
- 6:59me. It's 30 minutes. I'll look at where
- 7:01you are and tell you what it would take
- 7:02to make this channel work for your
- 7:04brand. If it's a fit, I'll show you
- 7:05exactly what the first 90-day looks like
- 7:07specific to you. No pitch, no pressure,
- 7:09just clarity on your opportunity. The
- 7:11link is below. Now, we keep our client
- 7:14roster small, so every brand gets
- 7:15dedicated support. We only take on a
- 7:17limited number of clients each month.
- 7:19So, if you see times available on the
- 7:20calendar, it means we have capacity to
- 7:22take on just one more partner this
- 7:24month. So, book the call and let's go
- 7:26build this
