TikTok Launches ‘For You Days’ – Exclusive Discounts from Major Brands
With one billion monthly active users, the chances are that you have TikTok downloaded on your phone. Or, at the very least, you’ll have a friend that sends them your way!
However, while the platform began as a video-sharing platform, it has since ventured into the world of ecommerce. There are two ways consumers can buy products on TikTok: through the TikTok shop or LIVE Shopping.
LIVE shopping is similar to QVC (or the other shows your grandma would watch decades ago), where users can see brands advertising products in real time, placing an order in just seconds. According to a recent study, 55% of TikTok users have bought a product when watching a TikTok live.
As such, it is hardly surprising that TikTok has decided to take this one step further by hosting exclusive sale events, such as For You Days.
What is TikTok ‘For You Days’?
For You Days is an in-platform sales event for TikTok users in the UK that allows them to participate in numerous live shopping sensations with leading global brands. Users can purchase all kinds of products, from makeup to technology, at heavily discounted prices until the 30th of September.
In addition, numerous brands will offer additional discounts through the TikTok shop.
Accessed via the TikTok mobile app, users can choose between a wide range of shopping categories, including:
- FashionTok. Clothing, shoes and accessories.
- BeautyTok. Makeup and skincare.
- HomeTok. Home accessories.
- FoodToks. Snacks, drinks, and edible products.
Brands will also be running giveaways throughout the five-day sale so that customers can get their hands on some of the internet’s most popular products without having to spend a single penny. This is something that is sure to go down a treat among shoppers!
What brands are involved?
A wide variety of brands (and celebrities) are involved in For You Days. For example, the following brands will be hosting LIVE sessions over the next few days:
- Made By Mitchell
- Sage Studios
- BPerfect Cosmetics
- 2BTanned
Made By Mitchell.
Made By Mitchell will host a live stream at 10 am on the 26th of September to celebrate founder Mitchell Halliday’s 26th Birthday. Throughout the duration of the stream, users will be able to receive exclusive discounts on best-selling products, with free delivery offered on orders of £20 or more.

How to join in the fun of TikTok For You days.
Whether you’re a big fan of TikTok shop and are continuously having parcels delivered to your door, or you’ve never so much as heard of TikTok live shopping – don’t worry. It’s incredibly easy to join in on the fun!
To start off, you simply need to download the app from Google Play or the App Store. This is entirely free to download. From there, you will be guided through the process of making an account. You’ll need to provide specific information, such as your name, age, and contact details. Remember, TikTok is only designed for users aged 13 years and above, which could mean that you need to verify your age.
Once you’ve dealt with that, you can choose a username for your TikTok account, and you’re ready to go! To save time when checking out, you may want to add your bank details to your profile.
There are then two ways in which you can join in the fun of TikTok For You Days! For example, you can access the promotional discount codes and sales by clicking on the TikTok shop icon on the bottom of your screen (it is designed to look like a shopping bag). This will take you to the landing page for the TikTok shop, and the products listed are displayed based on your user preferences, making it easier to find products you love.
Deals that are part of this promotion will feature the text ‘For You Days’ in a red bubble below the image or video of the product.
The banner at the top of the screen will also feature an advertisement for For You Days. By clicking on this, you’ll find more deals and information on upcoming live streams. If you see a brand you like, you can set up an alert to remind you when they’re about to go live. Alternatively, you can find your way to his page by searching ‘For You Days’ in the search tab on your app.
While TikTok shop is designed with immediacy in mind (meaning that you can buy products in just a few seconds), you can also add them to your basket if you aren’t ready to commit to buying right away. However, it is worth noting that the bigger discounts tend to only be applicable during specific time frames (such as during the duration of the live). All discount codes will expire when the event ends on September 30th.
It’s also worth noting that TikTok shop sellers tend to hike their fees following live events and sales. As such, you may find that the products are considerably more expensive outside of the sale period and, therefore, out of your budget. If there’s a specific live event you’d like to watch, check out their store ahead of time and determine whether or not any products catch your fancy. This leaves less room for indecision when the event is taking place so that you can capitalise on these deals!
