S8 E6: Racist or Righteous? Unpacking the Hate Against Chinese Companies
We canât escape TikTok Shop, and chances are good neither can you. But is it actually working for the brands that are using it? And what does their AoV look like?Â
Nik also breaks down TikTok Shopâs shift to QVC-like ads as the boys debate the latest trends and happenings in TikTok Shop. How much do affiliates get paid anyway?
But letâs get down to brass tacksâbecause the guys are wondering whether or not the US government is trying to ban Shein for legitimate reasons or if theyâre just plain racist against Chinese companies. Sure they might have a case for banning TikTok, but is there any merit to restricting the fast fashion empire from selling products in the US? Is Shein sourcing its raw materials from dubious sources or is it all just a bunch of smoke without fire?
Then, Nik and Moiz make the case for why DTC businesses need to start looking outside the US market for sales. Why arenât more brands considering selling in other countries? And how come most marketing agencies arenât interested in bringing brands to other nations?
Plus, Moiz unleashes the smartest business idea heâs ever had⦠or the dumbest idea heâs ever had. Take your pick.
