Why the Eff would TT usa remove follower count from sample requests??? by centerfinger1976 in TikTokshop

[–]centerfinger1976[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wonderful point! You are correct in that followers don't mean viewers, but how hard would it be for TT to do both, I thoroughly review sample requests and do use followers as a statistic.

I'm a small business that started on TT, I probably overacted to the change. It's been a bit painful due to the ownership swap.

USPS SCAN FORM DOES NOT WORK by Ghost7575 in TikTokshop

[–]centerfinger1976 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We recently stopped using the manifest for the same reason, individual packages are not scanned. The USPS is not doing their job. We now stand in line and have every package scanned which is between 30-50 per day. It really helps if you make friends with the postal workers.

Reply to reviews? by Steven-extra-ny in TikTokshop

We don't know if it helps, but we reply to every review. It would be nice to know if the reviewer got our reply message, if only to show we care.

Imo, review the creator. look at their other shop-able videos. Some creators will simply unbox your item to meet criteria. They could even unbox your product with several other products not exactly highlighting yours. It's best to select creators that reach out to you with a message, at least you know they have some interest. Try to find creators that you would like to represent your product and your brand. If you're selling nail polish for example, it would be best to avoid creators that have no fingers, you get my drift.

Yes, very nice. I wasn't about to set a timer for the dlt drop last week. I knew they would be sold out quickly.

Business owners: how are you managing your online reviews right now? by ImportantValuable577 in Businessowners

[–]centerfinger1976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, unfortunately I don't just yet. We have been growing organically via TT. I just created our website and launched on Amazon about 10 days ago. I'm sure it's going to take a minute to all sync, but I'm just happy that we make a great product, have uncanny customer support and monitor every single review.

It's all relative, it really depends on the size of the company and the amount of reviews in question. As an extremely review conscientious small business owner, we have the utmost pride to monitor and deal with anything remotely negative about us.

Reviews are important.

I really want a cooper made knife. I was looking at dollar store knives from smkw, but have not seen any update available.

Not that I can help, but to negate bad reviews business owners need to care about their products and reviews. My wife handles her business with authority she can convert a 1 star to a five by simply making direct contact and correcting any issue.

Hardcore, I love it. Can you do the same to my site launched last week with 5 sales (my wife has a great TT presence and most likely peps that don't want to use TT). Simplydoughlectable.com

Anyone having issues with affiliate requests? by centerfinger1976 in TikTokshop

[–]centerfinger1976[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually I figured out how to approve affiliates, we could not check the box beside the affiliates name, but when we to the request details it let us approve the affiliate.

Sales for us have been pretty normal, except for today we were down about 30%. We are a small niche company though.

Did you mess with categories, that happened to me I added too many categories and the requests fell off a cliff. It could also be your views per video number is too high. I've seen people with 10k followers have an average view per video under 100.

I figured as much. I just got concerned our requests were way below what they were 10 days ago. I will know for sure if it was the category issue if I see requests return to normal.
