For most brands, TikTok Shop is a shop they opened and never really ran

They send out samples, a few videos go up, and sales stay flat. So it gets written off as a channel that is hit or miss and hard to measure.

86%of TikTok Shop affiliates never make a sale

That means out of every 100 creators promoting a brand, about 86 never sell a single unit.

So the samples are gone, the shop sits there, and TikTok Shop gets written off as a channel that doesn’t work.

Why most TikTok Shops stall

“We sent out hundreds of samples and got nothing back”

Why it happensSamples go to anyone who asks, nobody follows up, and most creators post once or never.

“A few videos make almost all our sales”

Why it happensIn one shop AmpliSell looked at, 17 videos brought in 64% of sales and 2,050 never sold a unit.

“Creators post once and move on to the next brand”

Why it happensNothing keeps them. No community, no coaching, and no reason to make a second video.

“We can’t tell what TikTok Shop actually made us”

Why it happensAffiliate videos, your own posts, GMV Max ads and the lift on Amazon all sell at once, and none of them reports on its own.

“Winning seems to need a discount we won’t run”

Why it happensWithout enough creators and videos, price is the only lever left, and a premium brand won’t pull it.

“Agencies want a retainer before anything sells”

Why it happensYou pay every month, sales or not, so the risk is all yours from day one.

What most TikTok Shops look like today

  • Samples to thousands of creators to find a handful who post.
  • 86% of the creators who promote you never make a sale, and you only find out after the product is gone.
  • Creators post once and move on, so you start over every month.
  • So a few videos make almost all the sales, and TikTok Shop never becomes a real sales channel.

Why we started

We realized this old system was not the way that the most successful companies were doing things. We learned this first hand.

We ran an influencer agency first, then a talent agency. Neither one worked for the brands we served, so we built something new.

First Didn’t work

We were an influencer agency

1,000 reached50 replied3 good

When we ran as an influencer agency, we would reach out to a thousand creators, hear back from about 50, and end up with three influencers who were actually good.

Then Didn’t work

We were a talent agency

every new briefthe same 50

When we ran as a talent agency, we managed our own roster, but every time a client handed us a really niche avatar, we were stuck choosing from the same 50 people.

Now What works

So we built our new method

The foundation of this boils down to building connections at scale with influencers and keeping them, and then scaling them without an operational nightmare.

Steal the playbook behind Bloom’s TikTok Shop

Bloom took its TikTok Shop from a stuck mid six figures to seven figures a month in about 18 months, by building it around its creators.

12videos a month from each creator, up from 1

When Bloom moved its creators into a private community with calls twice a week, each one went from 1 video to as many as 12 a month.

That community grew to over 30,000 creators. It’s the same thing we build for your brand.

Who we are

Dennis and Alice talking on the couch at the studio

We originally started in the media space helping YouTubers improve their content. We know firsthand exactly what it takes to make good content.

YouTubers we helped include Football Fundamental, Ground Glory and Kevin Aquatics, and we helped them implement systems that allow them to earn more.

We started Influencer Advisory around a pretty simple observation that influencer marketing is a fragmented industry.

After being in the influencer agency space, we noticed that it’s fragmented, unreliable and inconsistent, which is why it doesn’t actually become a staple marketing channel for most brands.

That’s what led us down the rabbit hole of looking through 6,200 plus interviews with CMOs, running campaigns for 55 plus brands, and learning what actually works in the influencer space.
