11.11 is right around the corner, and the smartest brands in Singapore aren’t waiting until the last minute. The key to winning this year’s biggest shopping holiday? Securing collaborations with the top TikTok creators who make content that actually converts views into sales.
TikTok has become the discovery engine for 11.11 shopping. Short-form videos spark impulse buys, creator-led UGC builds trust, and TikTok Shop makes conversions seamless. In fact, TikTok’s “shoppertainment” model, where entertainment meets shopping, could unlock up to US$1 trillion in market value across Asia-Pacific by 2025
As 11.11 draws closer, one thing is clear: before brands rush to launch discounts, they need to understand which types of creators actually drive conversions, and how to collaborate with them effectively
TikTok has become the go-to platform for discovery and impulse buys. With TikTok Shop making it easier than ever to go from watching to purchasing, users now rely on the app not just for entertainment, but for shopping inspiration too. Instead of glossy brand ads, consumers prefer creators who share honest, peer-style recommendations that feel authentic and relatable.
That’s where TikTok creators shine. They blend storytelling, humor, and real experiences to spark trust and action. Studies show that 70% of TikTok users have bought something after seeing it on the app, and creator-led campaigns see 2–3x higher engagement rates than on Instagram. For brands preparing for 11.11, this makes one thing clear: creators don’t just drive awareness. They drive conversions.
Creators who test, compare, and break down products in detail — perfect for eCommerce and beauty brands.
