Mastering TikTok Marketing – Ian Page

Facebook-f Instagram Linkedin LISTEN NOW SHOW NOTES TikTok Shop can look like easy money from the outside, but it is not passive. It is a machine that needs constant feeding. In this episode, Salena Knight sits down with Ian Page from Bullseye Sellers to break down why most retailers fail on TikTok, what actually scales, and how to decide if TikTok Shop is the right channel for your product. Ian shares the biggest insight his agency learned after months of testing across multiple brands: the product is the star, not the affiliate. When a product can clearly identify a problem, show a simple solution, and deliver a strong offer in under 30 seconds, it becomes a “movie star product” that can sell through creators at every level. They also talk through the reality of sampling and content volume, why chasing trends is not a sustainable strategy, what happens when a shop hits critical mass and starts attracting creators inbound, and when you should adjust your offer to fix conversion. If you are kicking the tyres on TikTok Shop, already selling but stuck, or trying to understand what “good” performance actually looks like, this episode gives you the framework, the benchmarks,

The Smart Way to Do Post-Christmas Sales – Clone

Facebook-f Instagram Linkedin LISTEN NOW SHOW NOTES In today’s episode, I’m diving into one of the biggest mistakes I see retailers make every single year, treating Boxing Day and post-Christmas sales like a fire sale. You’ve worked your butt off all December, your margins are healthy, and then on December 26… boom. Panic hits, and suddenly everything is 50, 70, even 90% off. But it doesn’t have to be that way. I’m walking you through the exact framework I use (and teach my clients) to discount smart, not desperately. I’ll show you how to segment your stock into three simple buckets so you know exactly what to clear out quickly, what needs only a light nudge, and what shouldn’t be discounted at all. This alone can save your December profits. I’m also sharing two strategies most retailers overlook: • Using Boxing Day to redeem gift cards fast and turn those shoppers into high-value customers. • Positioning post-Christmas marketing around “Treat Yourself” instead of clearance culture, because people want to buy for themselves after weeks of gifting to everyone else. This episode gives you a step-by-step plan to move the right stock, protect your margins, and kick off the new year
