Tiktok’s 24-Hour Rule Is Throttling Sellers: How To Protect Your Shop

 

For digital entrepreneurs and e-commerce business owners, TikTok Shop is a goldmine for viral sales and unprecedented organic reach. However, the days of simply posting a catchy video and watching the sales roll in are over.

TikTok has introduced a major policy shift that is currently sending shockwaves through the e-commerce community: the mandatory 24-Hour Response Rate rule.

From Selling Cooking Gas To N1bn In Shortlet Bookings: How Two Sisters Built A 1,000-Apartment Business

 

Before Bisola Animashaun was managing one of the largest shortlet portfolios in Nigeria, she was delivering cooking gas.

She started Gasurgently at 21. The idea was simple enough, cooking gas delivered to your doorstep in Abuja, but the business punished her. Logistics costs kept eating the margins, and after three years of fighting for every single delivery, she took a decision most entrepreneurs never talk about publicly. She shut it down.
“People think the story starts when things work. Mine started when they didn’t,” she says. “Gasurgently taught me operations, customer service, how to survive when nothing is going your way. I didn’t know it at the time but I was in training.”

Today, Bisola and her sister Bukola Animashaun run Luxury Shortlets Abuja, a property management and booking agency with more than 1,000 shortlet apartments across Abuja and Lagos. The company has hosted over 10,000 guests
