TikTok is set to compete with Amazon’s Prime Day by launching its own sales event, "Deals For You Days," starting July 9 in the U.S. This move highlights TikTok's ambitions in the e-commerce space as it seeks to capitalize on the success of major retail events.

Key Takeaways

• Event Details: "Deals For You Days" will offer discounts on fashion, beauty products, decor, backyard entertainment essentials, and summer reading bestsellers.

• Exclusive Offers: TikTok Shop will feature exclusive deals on select products from brands like L’Oréal Paris, Maybelline New York, NYX Professional Makeup, Our Place, Too Faced, and Zwilling USA.
