The rules of the game have changed, new thresholds forTikTok Shop

Before talking about“attractiveness”, first clarify the compliance bottom line. TikTok US region has released many new regulations for 2025, especially regarding product pages, with three core principles: information must be true, compliance attributes must be filled, and content must not mislead.

Simply put: no exaggeration, no missing fields, no ambiguity.

Key new regulation reminders (missing any may result in delisting):

1. Mandatory attributes must be fully filled:Starting fromAugust 30, 2025, many categories must fill in compliance attributes—for example, selling beauty or daily necessities requires adding “California Proposition 65” related attributes (ID101400, 101395); selling toys or children’s clothing requires adding “choking hazard” labels (ID102291). If not filled, the product cannot be published.

2. Main image has strict requirements:Must beat least 800×800 pixels, high definition, no watermark, no cluttered background, and the first image must be a real shot of the product front. Collage or fake model images are not allowed.

3. Absolute terms are prohibited:Words like“best”, “number one”, “cure” must not be used, even “self-defense artifact” should be changed to “outdoor portable tool”, otherwise it will be judged as misleading content.

4. Language must be localized:All product information (title, description, tags) must be in English, no Chinese or other foreign languages mixed in, otherwise users won’t understand and the platform will lower your ranking.

Title:Precise customer acquisition in 40-150 characters

The title is the first business card handed to the algorithm and users. It must, in a very short browsing time, accurately convey“what it is”, “who it solves what problem for”, and embed the correct search keywords.

Formula under the new regulations: core keyword + scenario long-tail keyword

Abandon ineffective keyword stuffing. An excellent title should be like a concise slogan. For example, when selling wireless earbuds, write:

“Sweatproof Wireless Earbuds for Running & Gym - 32H Playtime”

(Sweatproof wireless earbuds, designed for running and gym – 32 hours battery life)

This structure accomplishes three things at once: clarifies the core product (wireless earbuds), locks in the target scenario (sports & fitness), and highlights the main selling point (long battery life). It avoids using“best”, but attracts the precise audience more effectively through scenario-based description.

Here, Tuke found a top seller’s title example for everyone to see.

Main image:Grab attention in 3 seconds, 5 high-click image types allowed by new regulations

According to platform specifications, a complete product display should includeat least5 images and 1 video.

Video length is best kept between15 to 30 seconds, directly showing the product usage process, such as demonstrating the installation steps of a folding table and chair.

Key points for building a high click-through visual combination:

1.The first image must use a pure white or solid color background high-definition main image, making the product itself the absolute focus. The most important promotion information (such as“20% OFF”) can be placed in a simple label at the top left corner—this is the starting point of the user’s visual path.

2.“Before and after comparison images” or “size comparison with common objects” can instantly convey product value. A messy drawer versus a tidy space after storage says more than a thousand words.

3.The platform algorithm significantly favors video content. A15-second video that hits the pain point in the first 3 seconds (such as showing the smooth frying experience of a non-stick pan) will have much higher click-through and retention rates than static images.

Pricing strategy: Don’t compete on low price, create a sense of“value”

In the US market, simply low prices are not the key; creating a sense of“value for money” is more important.

Tiered pricing method: offer basic, upgraded, and deluxe packages. For example, basic earbuds priced at$29.99, upgraded (with higher waterproof rating) at $49.99, deluxe (with multiple ear tips and charging case) at $69.99. This meets different needs and makes the middle price seem most cost-effective.

Price ending psychology: for mass consumer goods, use“.99” endings to create a sense of affordability; for high-end or quality products, use “.50” or whole numbers (like $65, $120) to maintain a premium feel. Frequent price changes will trigger platform monitoring, so keep prices stable.

Promotion authenticity: any“limited-time discount” must clearly indicate start and end times. Fake or permanent “promotions” will be judged as misleading consumers.
