The Story
Willow Boutique had already built a strong organic TikTok presence before TikTok Shop launched. Their previous live selling record stood at $40,000—impressive, but they knew there was more potential.
When TikTok Shop opened for beta testing, Willow was among the first to join. They became the second brand ever to complete a purchase on TikTok Shop US, positioning themselves at the forefront of a new commerce channel.
Their goal was ambitious: sell $100,000 worth of merchandise in a single livestream event. By leveraging TikTok's Video Shopping Ads to drive qualified traffic to their live sessions, they didn't just meet that goal—they exceeded it.
The result? More than double their previous record, achieved with an 8x return on ad spend. The combination of authentic community engagement and strategic paid amplification proved to be a winning formula.
"Live shopping lets us connect with customers in a way that static product pages never could. When they see the clothes in motion, styled in real-time, the barrier to purchase just disappears."
