(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nPer reporting on social commerce growth, TikTok Shop is projected to pass the US ecommerce arms of Target and Costco in 2026, as total social commerce reaches $23B.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): if you're deciding between building your Shopify store, chasing Amazon, or going all-in on TikTok Shop, the $23B number and the Target/Costco displacement should tell you where to put your unit economics first. TikTok Shop has lower barrier to entry, higher engagement, and a customer in buying mode (not browsing mode). Founders are winning on TikTok Shop because they're treating it like their primary storefront, not an add-on. Build your supply and your content calendar for TikTok Shop velocity first; your own Shopify store is the retention channel.\nWhat that means for you: The old playbook was: build DTC, use social to drive traffic to your site, optimize conversion. The new playbook is: go where the customer is already buying. TikTok Shop is that place. The brands printing money right now aren't fighting for eyeballs; they're stocking inventory in a place where the customer is already holding their credit card.\nIf you make, sell, or gift anything with your name on it — this is yours to run. You can do this.\n(Real, not theory — Retail Dive / MSN: https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/other/social-commerce-hits-23b-as-tiktok-shop-outgrows-retail/ar-AA28tlID.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you? Your logo, your products, your own private room, priced and ready, in about five minutes. That's literally what we do →\nhttps://www.pops4.com/vip?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=stash",
