Cost per unit is the client's TikTok media cost divided by units acquired through ads; it is not shakalakaa's fee, which we do not publish.

## What this means for your men's grooming brand

The plain-language version. In eight months MANSPOT's TikTok Shop went from about RM 145,000 to RM 685,000 a month.

Every RM 1.00 of ad spend now returns RM 4.20 instead of RM 1.80, each unit sold through ads costs about half as much, and 44% of sales come from creators rather than ads.     Client results

## Tiktok shop mens grooming case study, in depth

The supporting detail behind each section of this page, by topic. 4 topics

### The client

TikTok Shop is where its buyers discover, compare and check out, so the job was to grow the shop itself, not just the brand's reach.

### The problem

Paid media returned RM 1.80 for every RM 1.00 spent, each unit sold through ads cost RM 46.50 to acquire, 48 creators were promoting the products, and live sessions converted 4.8% of viewers into buyers.

### What we did

- **Full-funnel TikTok Shop Ads.** Video Shopping Ads and Product Shopping Ads run together, with creative rotated to stop fatigue and audiences segmented by purchase intent.
- **Creator Spark Ads.** High-intent Product Shopping Ads paired with creator videos run as Spark Ads, aimed at Malaysian male grooming audiences.
- **Listings and bundles.** Product listing optimisation and creator affiliate bundles built around the flagship trimmer.
- **A creator seeding pipeline.** Automated seeding that grew the [affiliate program](https://shakalakaa.my/resources/affiliate-program-malaysia-for-brands) from 48 to 1,450+ creators, publishing 400+ short-form reviews a month.
- **In-house live shopping.** Four sessions a week with structured live-selling scripts, flash bundle vouchers and dedicated Malaysian hosts.
