Renegade Products USA has turned TikTok Shop into a major growth channel by pairing high-volume seller content with specialized products and Fulfillment by TikTok. CEO Rami Aryan shares how the automotive and metal polishing brand went from struggling to keep up with demand after joining TikTok Shop in December 2024 to having roughly 80% of its TikTok sales fulfilled by TikTok, helping cut fulfillment times for its other web orders from as long as a week and a half to just one or two days.
Rami’s strategy centers on taking ownership of the brand’s content rather than relying entirely on affiliates. Renegade Products USA produces at least 10 to 12 pieces of content internally each weekday, directs roughly three-quarters of its content toward its specialized metal finishing products, and treats its TikTok pages as educational libraries that show customers and creators exactly how those products should be used.

E.L.F. Beauty was an early TikTok adopter, but its strategy has evolved far beyond content. Kelly Shah-McDonnell, VP of Global Connected Commerce at E.L.F. Beauty, shares how the brand now treats TikTok Shop as a discovery and demand-generation engine that can influence sales and search across its broader retail ecosystem. That impact became especially clear with the launch of E.L.F. Hair, when TikTok exposure contributed to hundreds of thousands of searches on Amazon even though the products were not available there.
Kelly explains how E.L.F. keeps creators at the center of its TikTok Shop flywheel, from identifying products that are easy to demonstrate to building deeper relationships through webinars, Zooms, and masterclasses.

Kitsch turned TikTok Shop into a major distribution channel after seeing its Grinch Hair Perfume jump from roughly 50 units to 2,000 units sold per day within the first few days of launch. Chief Marketing Officer Yingying Kuang shares how the brand went on to sell more than 30,000 units of its Air Dry Cream in just a few months and replicated that momentum across categories, including its Set & Flow Heatless Curler, which became the number one hair accessory on TikTok Shop for several weeks.
Yingying explains how Kitsch built the infrastructure to capitalize on viral moments rather than trying to manufacture them. From treating creators like an extension of the internal team to testing culturally relevant bundles and preparing fulfillment capacity ahead of peak demand, Kitsch has built its TikTok Shop strategy around creators, rapid experimentation, and operational readiness. That preparation became especially important after last year's holiday season brought roughly four times more daily TikTok Shop orders than the team expected.
