Ipsos, in collaboration with TikTok, explored the new era of commerce to shed light on how platforms like TikTok are fundamentally altering the way consumers interact with brands and make purchasing decisions. 3 in 4 shoppers on TikTok agree that the app is the go-to place to discover new brands and products – replacing the role that traditional search engines have played.

HOW TO ADDRESS THE 95% OF PASSIVE BUYERS

Passive buyers make up 95% of the market and require long-term strategies focused on building awareness and trust, rather than immediate conversion tactics. Effective content for this audience includes easily consumable formats, such as LinkedIn posts and overview videos, designed to establish credibility gradually over time. When a buying trigger occurs, businesses that maintain visibility and relevance are more likely to attract inbound inquiries or successfully convert leads through outbound efforts.

THE ISOLATION EFFECT: WHY “ISOLATED” BRANDS WIN (AND HOW TO BECOME ONE)

The Financial Times used salmon pink paper in 1893 to stand out from competitors, significantly boosting its sales and establishing a memorable brand identity. This success aligns with the "Isolation Effect," which states that distinct elements are more memorable. Effective marketing requires brands to break away from market defaults, embrace bold ideas, and combine differentiation with distinctiveness. For example, Cadbury's iconic gorilla ad and Dollar Shave Club's humorous tone helped them stand out and succeed. Distinctiveness in messaging and visuals is as vital as offering unique value to capture attention and drive sales.

WHY RETAILERS ARE TURNING TO THIRD-PARTY MARKETPLACES

Traditional retailers such as Walmart and Target are adopting third-party marketplaces to expand product ranges, monetize traffic, and collect valuable customer data. This model shifts the retailer's role from merchant to facilitator, enabling them to offer broader selections without owning inventory and to generate revenue through commissions and services like fulfillment and advertising. On the other hand, challenges such as maintaining customer experience and coordinating with external sellers require strategic integration with regular operations.
