Consumer preferences showed a keen interest in a number of categories during the campaign, with a particular emphasis on home goods, cosmetics, and exercise equipment.

The platform’s analytics showed that skincare products, makeup, fragrances, and kitchen appliances were the most popular products.

TikTok’s LIVE shopping feature was particularly successful, as the platform reported almost 500,000 live shopping sessions totaling over 660,000 hours. Many notable records were set, including:

  • During Nicki Minaj’s Pink Friday Nails LIVE session, 172 million people watched and 115 million liked it

  • One Black Friday LIVE event brought in $2 million for Canvas Beauty Brand CEO Stormi Steele (@iamstormisteele)

Nico Le Bourgeois, Head of US Operations, emphasized TikTok’s role in holiday shopping by pointing out the platform’s wide coverage of everything from seasonal recipes to beauty tutorials.

Content creators still have the opportunity to build long-term businesses and profit from their influence through the platform’s affiliate program.
