QVC UK successfully reached its core target audience—women aged 35 and above—by livestreaming on TikTok Shop. Since March of last year, this channel has brought in over 30,000 new customers, majority of whom are new users on the platform. This growth indicates that social commerce is not limited to younger demographics; mature female consumers are also an important target market. As live shopping gains popularity, QVC has effectively captured this significant consumer group, significantly enhancing brand influence and sales.
What does this mean for cross-border sellers?
The user profile of TikTok Shop is diversifying, including high-spending mature women as a critical growth segment. Sellers need to understand the demand characteristics of different consumer groups and optimize their product mix to meet market trends. The top priority action: conduct market research targeting female consumers over 35 to adjust product promotion strategies.
