M&S Launches TikTok Shop to Engage Younger Shoppers

M&S Launches TikTok Shop to Engage Younger Shoppers

The launch of a dedicated M&S TikTok Shop means creators will now be able to make content instantly shoppable within the beauty category across selected products.

M&S has officially gone live on TikTok Shop. Initially launching as a pilot, this is part of the retailer’s focus to broaden appeal and make it easier for customers to discover and shop whenever, wherever and however they like. 

The shop will initially range a curated selection of beauty products, from skincare heroes, including £6 Apothecary Hand Lotion and the retailer’s SKINKIND range (from £7.50), to home fragrance favourites, like the £10 Discover (three million bottles sound and counting). 

M&S stated that the move comes at a time when it is capturing the attention of the TikTok community with products including this year’s Christmas decorations range, a trench jacket from its summer collection and an animal print collarless jacket going viral, leading them to sell out.

M&S will use the pilot to explore different ways to broaden appeal and connect with younger audiences who are increasingly discovering brands through creators and short-form video.

It will partner with TikTok creators and share behind-the-scenes content, bringing product stories to life through tutorials, reviews and styling inspiration.

M&S will also trial TikTok LIVE shopping sessions, hosting live beauty demos and styling sessions that let customers see products in action and ask questions in real-time. 

The launch builds on M&S’s growing focus on social-first storytelling, from the ‘Love That’ fashion series, the launch of M&S Man on Instagram and this year’s Christmas campaign, which swaps the traditional single hero ad for a series of product-led, moment-based content drops.

Additional creator content will include collection ads, which make each item worn by the creator shoppable, along with a dedicated landing page to shop their curated picks.

Sharry Cramond, Fashion, Home & Beauty Marketing Director at M&S, said, “Our TikTok Shop supercharges the buzz we have on the platform by bringing the magic of M&S into a space where people love discovering new products – making it even easier for fans to shop their favourites while bringing our quality, style and value to new audiences.” 

“It’s the latest step in our social-first, product-led strategy – meeting customers where they are and putting product right at the heart of our marketing.”

A TikTok spokesperson said, “We’re so excited to welcome M&S to TikTok Shop, making popular in-store finds instantly shoppable in the app. With many M&S items going viral and dominating the FYP, this partnership gives our community a seamless way to discover and now seamlessly shop the M&S products they love.”
