(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nPer Marketing Dive, big food companies are changing innovation and selling strategies by experimenting with TikTok Shop, a direct-to-consumer social commerce channel that bypasses traditional retail.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): if you make food or beverage, reserve one SKU per quarter for a TikTok Shop exclusive. Design it with creator input — ask three micro-creators in your category what flavor or variant they'd buy if it existed. Build it. Launch it on TikTok Shop with a 2-week window.

Most brands develop products in a lab and pitch retail on hunches. This inverts it: develop products with creator input, sell direct for proof, then walk into retail with demand velocity.\nWhat that means for you: if you make food or beverage, reserve one SKU per quarter for a TikTok Shop exclusive.

You can do this.\n(Real, not theory — Marketing Dive: https://www.marketingdive.com/news/big-food-companies-tik-tok-shop/824192/.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
