(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nA TikTok Shop–sponsored survey finds it is the top way consumers discover new products, but they often purchase elsewhere on Amazon, per Forbes.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): run your awareness and trial on TikTok Shop — creator seeding, limited drops, velocity signals — then funnel repeat and bulk buyers to Amazon with retargeting and email. Do not try to close the entire funnel on TikTok Shop. Use it for what it does best (discovery and social proof) and let Amazon do what it does best (scale and repeat purchase). The playbook is TikTok Shop for new, Amazon for repeat.\nWhat that means for you: This pattern is the opposite of what most brands assume. They think TikTok Shop is a substitute for Amazon. It is not. It is a funnel accelerant. If a buyer discovers a product on TikTok Shop and buys once there, the follow-up is to funnel them to Amazon for repeat and subscribe. TikTok Shop is for *awareness velocity*; Amazon is for *lifetime value*. Run them in sequence, not competition.\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 — Forbes: http://www.bing.com/news/apiclick.aspx?ref=FexRss&aid=&tid=6a8e2cd039364c5d87b3043e8ba8801e&url=https%3a%2f%2fwww.forbes.com%2fsites%2fjohnschroyer%2f2026%2f08%2f15%2fsmall-brands-get-famous-on-tiktok-shop-but-amazon-is-still-king%2f&c=6581680048314313488&mkt=en-us.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
