Rising from a trusted leader in health supplements to a powerhouse in social commerce, BeWell has embraced digital transformation to meet the evolving needs of consumers. By launching new products exclusively on TikTok Shop before retail distribution, the brand maximizes online engagement while building anticipation for offline availability. This digital-first approach has not only strengthened its e-commerce presence but also created a halo effect, where heightened online visibility directly drives in-store demand. Through strategic bundling, strong affiliate engagement, and daily live selling, BeWell continues to redefine the future of health retail.
The Halo Effect: Online Visibility Boosts Offline Sales
BeWell’s strong digital push on TikTok Shop has boosted its offline sales, with consumers actively searching for its products in major drugstores after discovering them through TikTok Shop’s live selling sessions. Shoppers frequently use screenshots from live streams as references when purchasing in physical stores, demonstrating the powerful offline impact of online visibility. This growing demand proves how TikTok Shop’s interactive features can directly influence in-store sales, reinforcing BeWell’s position as a top health brand.
“For many Filipinos, the path to better health begins online, where they seek information, engage with content, and build trust before making a purchase. TikTok Shop has enabled us to be part of this decision-making journey, positioning BeWell not just as a product, but as a trusted presence in their wellness routine. When consumers walk into stores looking for BeWell after discovering it online, it reaffirms how digital visibility translates into real-world demand, strengthening our impact both online and offline,” said Lance Cheng, CEO of BeWell Nutraceuticals Corp.
Strategic Assortment Drives Higher Sales and Brand Expansion
BeWell initially faced a challenge of lower average order value (AOV) compared to its category peers. To address this, the brand introduced well-curated bundle offers, gradually increasing AOV from ₱114 to ₱285. While its top-performing SKUs were initially in the Kids Vitamins segment, BeWell strategically pivoted to highlight its adult supplement range, particularly BeWell Zinc Protect. This shift, supported by exclusive TikTok Shop-only bundles and content adjustments, resulted in a +25% increase in BeWell Zinc Protect sales in Q4 2024.
These efforts contributed to BeWell’s overall growth, with a +16% increase in Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) in the second half of 2024 compared to the first half, solidifying its success on TikTok Shop and beyond.
Live Selling and Affiliate Marketing Drive Growth
BeWell has leveraged TikTok Shop’s live selling capabilities to drive consumer engagement and conversions. The brand maintains an extensive daily live schedule from 8 AM to 5 PM, complemented by a strong network of in-house affiliates who stream live directly from BeWell’s office. This strategy has been instrumental in sustaining growth, with a +11% quarter-over-quarter increase in live room gross profit margin (GPM) and a +35% rise in live enter room rates.
The brand’s strong commission-based affiliate program has further expanded its reach, empowering a growing community of sellers who actively promote BeWell’s product range. Combined with consistent investments in Live Shopping Ads (LSA) and Video Shopping Ads (VSA), these initiatives have strengthened BeWell’s dominance in the health category.
“Through our live selling and affiliate partnerships on TikTok Shop, consumers can engage with BeWell in a more interactive and informative way, ensuring they find the right products to support their daily wellness needs. This seamless integration of digital and physical retail reinforces BeWell’s commitment to making quality health products readily available whenever and wherever they are needed,” added Lance Cheng, CEO of BeWell Nutraceuticals Corp.
Exclusive Online Launches First, Before Retail Rollout
BeWell’s commitment to digital-first strategies extends to product launches, with every new product debuting exclusively on TikTok Shop before becoming available in retail stores. This approach has successfully built anticipation and driven initial demand, ensuring that by the time products hit offline shelves, they already have a dedicated consumer base searching for them.
Through consistent participation in TikTok Shop’s Brand Fiesta campaigns and sustained investments in paid ads, BeWell has achieved a +12% quarter-over-quarter increase in Shop Ads revenue in Q4 2024. With a 5-star shop experience score on TikTok Shop, the brand continues to lead in delivering quality products and a seamless shopping experience.
“BeWell has demonstrated how a health brand can thrive in social commerce by making wellness more accessible and engaging. Through TikTok Shop’s interactive features like live selling, affiliate marketing, and exclusive online launches, they’ve created a shopping experience that feels both seamless and community-driven,” said Franco Aligaen, Marketing Lead of TikTok Shop Philippines. “This approach strengthens online sales while amplifying offline demand, proving that digital-first strategies have a lasting impact beyond the screen.”
