TikTok Shop's Back-to-School Campaign Highlights and Community Engagement

The campaign also featured 76,000 hosted livestreams, through which 293,000 users purchased products, contributing to a total of 6.3 million orders placed during the campaign period.
TikTok community members also engaged with top creators through LIVE, gaining access to exclusive deals on favorite products from merchants such as Pop Mart (@popmart.usshop) who had their best selling livestream to-date during TikTok Shop's back-to-school campaign.
