Shoppertainment is the USD1 Trillion dollar opportunity that is here to stay in Southeast Asia¹. It refers to content-driven commerce that seeks to entertain and educate, while leading the audience towards checkouts. Now with TikTok Shop, brands can harness Shoppertainment from content to cart within the same platform. If you want to explore more with TikTok Shop, look no further as we introduce the G.R.O.W framework to accelerate your business growth.
The first step is generating entertaining and engaging content. Content is key to Shoppertainment, and ultimately to drive gross merchandise value (GMV). On TikTok, brands have several channels to choose from, and we recommend tapping into all three for maximum impact.
Shop Tab is an always-on destination where shoppers with high purchase intent come to shop. It's a central hub where users can easily discover products, promotions and manage their orders. Keep a healthy inventory of products in your Shop, and feature bestsellers and/or limited edition products.
Short videos are the primary content format that most TikTok users consume daily. They're also a key driver of organic traffic, GMV and engagement.
Live Shopping happens via livestreams that encourage real-time interaction, allowing brands to respond to shoppers and accelerate their purchase decisions.
Next, take your reach and awareness to the next level by partnering with creators. The community enjoys engaging with creators they can trust and relate with, and they have a strong influence on purchase decisions.
Creators are an extension of your brand, allowing you to reach new audience groups and drive purchases. Find suitable creators, and align on the campaign strategy and content for best results.
