The plan, measured on GMV

tiktok shop strategy.

Every engagement starts here: where to play, what to sell, how to scale — a plan built on your own numbers, with a GMV target reviewed month by month. One team owns the plan, and the GMV.

what the plan covers01 / 05

built on your numbers.

Not a deck of generalities — a working commercial plan for your shop, your SKUs and your margin, sized on platform data before a single decision is made.

The category read

Your category on TikTok Shop, sized on platform data: revenue and growth, how many shops are selling, what actually sells and at what price — and where you would sit.

Where the money comes from

Revenue split by channel and by content type — how much creators sell, what product cards carry, where LIVE stands out — and what that means for your mix.

The timing read

Daily category revenue, read for the season — so the plan lands in the exact window your category turns, not a quarter after it.

Your starting point

What the brand already has — range, reviews, stores, community, faces people know — and how each one becomes a lever on TikTok Shop.

Offer architecture

A launch hero, basket builders, gifting and add-ons — with depth through TikTok-exclusive bundles, so RRP holds everywhere else and value still lands.

The GMV model

A month-by-month target with the funnel behind it, priced in a pricing workshop in week one and reviewed against actuals every week.

a day that sets the year.

We run strategy days with brands and global groups — L’Oréal and Unilever among them — working sessions that map the category, the product architecture and the TikTok Shop plan in a single day, and leave the room with a plan the whole team owns.

how we judge it04 / 05

inputs first, then the number.

A new channel is judged on inputs before outputs — GMV follows as the shop earns reviews and trust. The plan says which is which, from day one.

Inputsis the engine built? — shop health, samples sent, affiliate post rate, videos live, active creators
Outputsis it selling? — GMV and orders, videos making a sale, conversion, GMV per LIVE hour
The halois it reaching everywhere else? — branded search, marketplace lift, store and site sales

A weekly trading meeting throughout, and a bigger read-out each quarter — then you choose to continue, change the scope or stop.

strategy runs through all of it.

The plan isn’t a hand-off — the same team runs it across every lever, and reports against it every month.
