Kimberly Duyag, CEO of the well-known local cloth and garment brand KILY.PH, shared her experience, “We created more than PhP 5 million sales during the first mid-year sales campaign, and we just began to do livestream on a daily basis one month ago. Many sellers have been surprised by the platform’s support, especially the free shipping vouchers and discount promotion. Plus it also enables merchants, brands and creators showcase and sell their products directly on TikTok via feed, content or livestream.”
The creator Harold Balilo achieved more than 500% GMV growth in one single live session compared with his best live before the campaign. “I started on TikTok Shop in late April. It’s my very first time doing live selling. I’m so thankful and happy as a student and as a small creator looking for a part-time job as a live streaming creator. I can say that TikTok Shop has changed my life and offered huge help for me and my family,” said creator Harold Balilo.
