Use it to find customers, then capture them into an email list via discount code. The email becomes your proprietary channel—Amazon and TikTok Shop are both borrowed. Offer a 15-20 percent first-purchase discount via unique code on TikTok Shop, but the discount is only activated when the buyer signs up for email.
