🎁 What Is a TikTok Shop Sample Campaign?

A Sample Campaign is a limited-time event promoted within TikTok Shop where creators can apply for free product samples from featured brands. In exchange, creators commit to showcasing those items in authentic content—through short-form videos or TikTok LIVEs.

But the real kicker? You can earn extra reward coupons when your content drives sales. TikTok essentially turns your freebie into a mini affiliate mission—with clear deliverables, deadlines, and upsides.

💡 Why Should Creators Join?

Participating in Sample Campaigns offers more than just free products:

• Low-risk content testing: You get to try before you promote—perfect for keeping your content honest and engaging.

• Audience engagement: Product reviews, try-ons, and unboxings are fan favorites.

• Extra rewards: Earn reward coupons on top of affiliate commission when your videos convert.

• Growth with structure: Clear instructions, due dates, and built-in exposure through TikTok’s ecosystem.

This makes Sample Campaigns ideal for both new and seasoned creators—especially if you're looking to diversify your affiliate content.

📲 How to Join a Sample Campaign

Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of how creators can participate:

1. Look Out for Campaign Banners

In your TikTok Shop Creator Center, watch for banners promoting live sample campaigns. Tap the banner to view all eligible products and campaign rules.

2. Choose the Products You Want to Test

Select from a curated list of items available in the current campaign. Each one comes with clear promo requirements.

3. Confirm Your Shipping Details

Enter your address, complete the order, and wait for your free sample to arrive.

4. Track Your Sample Delivery

Use the same campaign page to view your order status and confirm delivery.

5. Create & Post Content

Once the product lands, create content showcasing your honest experience—demo how it works, what you love (or don’t), and add your product link. You can post a:

• Short-form video (visible for at least 3 days), or

• 10-minute TikTok LIVE

6. Generate Sales & Earn Rewards

If your content converts, you’ll receive additional reward coupons—stacking even more value on top of your commission.

7. Meet Your Deadlines

Every campaign has a timeline. You’ll see a specific number of days to publish content, which must be met to stay in good standing and receive your rewards.

🧠 Common Questions About Sample Campaigns

Can I request more than one product?

Yes, but only one of each product per seller. You can request:

• One red T-shirt from Seller A

• One blue skirt from Seller A (if available)

• Another red T-shirt from Seller B

The key is variety—not volume—from the same seller.

What if I miss my content deadline?

Missing deadlines can limit your access to future campaigns or samples. Always review the due date shown on the campaign detail page.
