🚩TikTok Shop Killing Your AOV
Insights from Jonathan Snow
While TikTok Shop offers high conversion rates, its Average Order Value (AOV) significantly lags behind that of direct-to-consumer (DTC) websites. Several key factors contribute to this discrepancy, impacting the potential revenue per transaction on the platform.
Key Challenges Impacting AOV on TikTok Shop:
Capped Discounts Limiting Cart Value:
Issue: Discounts on TikTok Shop are capped (e.g., 50% off up to a $20 discount), which does not encourage customers to add more items to their cart.
Impact: Shoppers are not motivated to increase their cart sizes beyond the discount cap, resulting in a lower AOV.
Suboptimal Placement of Upsells and Cross-sells:
Issue: Additional purchase options like upsells and cross-sells are positioned below the fold and beneath the checkout button, making them less visible and accessible to users.<
