Initial Sales via TikTok Shop

Client

SummerBlue is the consumer-facing brand launched by Harfield Tableware – a long-established B2B manufacturer of high-quality reusable plastic tableware.

After years of supplying wholesale to sectors including healthcare, education and community organisations, the business identified an opportunity to enter the retail market. SummerBlue was created to bring their durable, practical and design-led products directly to consumers.

The Team
Brief

SummerBlue needed to launch as a completely new brand – with no social presence, no existing audience, and no defined brand guidelines.

The objective was clear: build awareness, create a recognisable identity, and generate sales through social media.

The focus was on reaching a diverse consumer audience – from parents and outdoor enthusiasts to meal-preppers and sustainability-conscious shoppers – while positioning SummerBlue as both practical and aesthetically appealing.

Challenges

We weren’t working in an easy market

  • The audience

    The B2C market was far broader and more segmented than Harfield’s traditional wholesale base. SummerBlue needed messaging that appealed to multiple consumer groups – while still feeling cohesive and recognisable as one brand.

  • The environment

    The homeware and reusable product space is highly competitive, especially on platforms like TikTok and Instagram where trends move quickly and attention spans are short. Standing out required speed, relevance and creativity.

  • The complication

    There were no brand guidelines, no content assets, and no existing strategy.

    On top of that, products were already listed on Amazon – meaning the brand risked competing against itself without a clear social commerce plan.

Solution

We built SummerBlue from the ground up – strategically and creatively.

First, we developed the brand foundations: tone of voice, visual direction, content pillars and positioning.

We identified TikTok and Instagram as primary channels, with Facebook and Pinterest supporting broader reach.

Trend research shaped product focus and content direction, ensuring SummerBlue aligned with what audiences were actively engaging with.

We optimised every platform setup for discoverability and engagement, implementing consistent video-led content designed to educate, inspire and convert.

Recognising the rise of social commerce, we launched and optimised TikTok Shop – creating a seamless path from discovery to purchase.

Results

We didn’t just tick the boxes, we smashed them.

Within days of launch, SummerBlue began generating sales – validating both the platform choice and the strategy.

Over the first six months, the brand established measurable traction and strong engagement, building solid foundations for continued growth.

  • 10 out of the first 11 sales driven directly through TikTok Shop

  • 8.2% average engagement rate (well above the 1–3% benchmark)

  • 21,000+ impressions within six months

  • 200+ followers gained as a brand-new startup

From zero presence to revenue-generating social channels, SummerBlue successfully entered the consumer market with momentum – and a strategy built to scale.
