How we were able to use TikTok Shop Ads

We were approached by an ecommerce client that was running ads on Facebook, but not on TikTok. We ask why? Their response: “We didn’t like the performance the old agency had.”  After a quick glance into their TikTok Ads account we noticed a few structure and creative details that could have been causing the low performance, and one area where the old agency didn’t even attempt, was TikTok Shops!

After the first month utilizing TikTok and TikTok Shop Ads for this client, we were able to generate over $90,000 in revenue, a 500% increase from when they previously ran TikTok ads with a ROI 8% higher!


TikTok Shop Ads offer a revolutionary way to increase sales and brand visibility by integrating shopping directly into the TikTok experience. With its vast user base and creative potential, TikTok is an ideal platform for brands looking to enhance their e-commerce efforts. By setting up and utilizing TikTok Shop Ads effectively, you can tap into new audiences and drive significant growth for your business.
