What’s Your TikTok Trend Shopper?

1. A TikTok video pops up showing a product you've never heard of. What's your first reaction?

I'm already clicking the link to buy it!

I screenshot it and start looking for a cheaper version.

I open a new tab to research it thoroughly.

I send it to my friends to see what they think.

2. How often do you make unplanned purchases after scrolling TikTok?

All the time — my bank account hates me.

Only when I find a really good deal.

Rarely — I always sleep on it first.

Almost never — I stick to what I need.

3. What does your shopping cart usually look like?

Overflowing with things I added in the last 10 minutes.

Full of items I'm waiting to go on sale.

A carefully curated list I've been refining for weeks.

Mostly empty — I only add things I truly need.

4. A viral TikTok product sells out before you can buy it. How do you feel?

Devastated — I needed that in my life immediately.

Relieved — now I have time to find a cheaper dupe.

Fine — I'll use the time to research it more.

Unbothered — I probably didn't need it anyway.

5. How do you decide if a TikTok product is worth buying?

If it looks amazing in the video, that's enough for me.

I check if there's a discount code or a cheaper alternative.

I read dozens of reviews and watch multiple videos about it.

I ask my friends if they've tried it or would recommend it.

6. What's your relationship with TikTok discount codes?

I never bother — I just buy it at full price.

I will hunt one down no matter how long it takes.

I look for them as part of my research process.

I don't really use them — I buy so rarely it doesn't matter.

7. How do you feel after making a TikTok-inspired purchase?

Excited and ready to buy the next thing I see.

Satisfied that I got a great deal.

Confident because I did my homework.

I share it with my friends to get their reaction.

8. A friend tells you about a TikTok product they love. What do you do?

Order it right away — if they love it, I will too!

Ask them how much they paid and if there's a better deal.

Go home and research it before deciding.

Ask more friends if they've heard of it too.

9. What type of TikTok content stops your scroll the most?

Dramatic 'you NEED this' unboxing videos.

'I found this for $5 at...' budget haul videos.

Detailed honest reviews with pros and cons.

'My friends and I all tried this' group reaction videos.

10. How many packages do you typically receive in a week?

Too many to count — it's basically a daily surprise.

A few, but only when I've scored a great deal.

One or two carefully chosen items.

Rarely — I prefer to shop in-store or not at all.

11. When you regret a TikTok purchase, what do you do?

Shrug it off and move on to the next thing.

Try to resell it or find a way to recoup the cost.

Vow to research even more thoroughly next time.

Use it as a reminder to buy less and be more intentional.

12. What's your approach to TikTok Shop flash sales?

I buy everything before it sells out — no hesitation.

I live for them — this is my moment to shine.

I only buy if it's something I've already researched.

I ignore them — sales pressure makes me uncomfortable.

13. How do you feel about buying the same trending item as everyone else?

Love it — being part of a trend is the whole point!

Fine, as long as I paid less than everyone else.

I want to make sure it's actually worth the hype first.

I prefer things that feel personal and unique to me.

14. How do you use TikTok's 'For You' page when it comes to shopping?

It's basically my personal shopping catalogue — I buy everything it shows me.

I use it to spot trends early so I can find cheaper versions.

I save videos to revisit when I'm ready to research properly.

I share interesting finds with friends and shop based on their input.

15. What would your friends say about your TikTok shopping habits?

'You always have the newest thing before anyone else!'

'You always know where to get the best deal.'

'You take forever to buy anything but you're never disappointed.'

'You're so good at not getting sucked into trends.'
