This brand is profitable on TikTok Shop.

But I wish they would stop trying to be.

This brand decided to shift focus from being breakeven on the channel to becoming profitable this month.

And while we've been able to achieve it,

Since the change we've seen:

→ Views decrease 42% MoM

→ GMV decrease 40% MoM

→ Website attributed sales decrease: $78k MoM (-71%)

→ Content with free usage rights decreased 22% MoM

So while we're more profitable on the CHANNEL now,

The business overall is experiencing less profit due to the effect the channel had on other channels.

TikTok Shop can be a profitable channel,

But it can also make your whole business more profitable.

It's a matter of how you view how your marketing should work.
