\u201cWe are thrilled with the success we’ve achieved with TikTok Shop, which early on, is showing potential to be an exceptional platform for connecting our brands with the right target audience in a dynamic and engaging way,\u201d said Adriann Eusebio, Total Foods Commercial Director-PH, and Total Foods Marketing Director-SEA and NA<\/strong>, PepsiCo. The +600% GMV growth we’ve seen is a testament to deep consumer understanding and innovative e-commerce strategies PepsiCo continues to build with key partners like TikTok Shop.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brand optimization strategies<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

PepsiCo’s strategic use of TikTok Shop’s ACE framework (Assortment, Content and Empowerment) highlights its holistic approach to optimizing touchpoints for seller growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf     PepsiCo optimized its product listings and store design to reduce out-of-stock scenarios and present an official trust-building storefront. The introduction of seasonal bundles, especially during high-demand periods like Christmas, further exemplified its commitment to meeting consumer needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf     For content, the brand implemented a targeted approach that engaged both general community affiliates and top-tier affiliates, including Multi-Channel Network (MCN) vertical accounts. Regular multi hour livestreams and consistent posting of short videos outside the livestream schedule were crucial in building viewership and driving sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25cf     PepsiCo maintained high store and product ratings, ensured timely deliveries, and responded promptly to customer queries, reinforcing trust and encouraging repeat purchases. Active participation in platform campaigns and co-branded efforts like the Doritos + Xbox promotional packs further amplified the brand’s reach and appeal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Ople, PepsiCo’s success story serves as a blueprint for other brands aiming to capitalize on the burgeoning opportunities within TikTok Shop’s ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“TikTok Shop is more than a platform; it’s a revolution in the way we think about shopping and entertainment,” said Ople. “We extend our heartfelt thanks to our community and partners like PepsiCo, whose remarkable growth validates our vision of integrating social commerce into everyday life, making shopping more enjoyable and accessible. The future is bright, and together, we will continue to redefine the e-commerce landscape.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
