(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nSocial commerce is projected to reach $23B, with TikTok Shop expected to pass the US ecommerce arms of Target and Costco in 2026, per MSN Money.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): if TikTok Shop is outranking Costco's ecommerce, the platform is not a marketing channel—it's a storefront. Brands with young audiences should build inventory reserves specifically for TikTok Shop exclusive drops and test scarcity mechanics (limited stock, countdown timers) that feel native to social commerce, not borrowed from web ecommerce.\nWhat that means for you: This is early whisper territory, but it's cited. If TikTok Shop's ecommerce volume is already larger than Costco's digital sales, the infrastructure to sell on social is no longer optional. The watch is whether traditional DTC brands shift budget from Facebook/Instagram ads into TikTok Shop inventory reserves.\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 — MSN Money: http://www.bing.com/news/apiclick.aspx?ref=FexRss&aid=&tid=6a64f9e9cd9d4e699560f49ec55563ff&url=https%3a%2f%2fwww.msn.com%2fen-us%2fmoney%2fother%2fsocial-commerce-hits-23b-as-tiktok-shop-outgrows-retail%2far-AA28tlID&c=520993819648658162&mkt=en-us.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
