What if TikTok matters to your business more than Amazon?

On the latest Retail Sound Bites, we explore why TikTok has become one of the most powerful demand engines retail has ever seen.

Featuring Jordan Kremm and Steve Light of L&R Distributors, this episode breaks down how TikTok Shop is reshaping product discovery across generations, why brands are launching on TikTok first, then scaling to retail, how viral moments translate into real, measurable in-store sales, and where most brands are getting TikTok wrong.
