Yo fam, our DTC sock brand was low-key flopping until we hit TikTok hard :collision:. Like, we went from sad sales to SOLD OUT in a week just by getting some TikTokers to do wild challenges with our socks. Anyone else seen this kind of magic happen? :socks::sparkles:

Haha, nah, it was all about ‘Sock Slip n’ Slide’ in the kitchen. :laughing: People went nuts competing for the longest slide while wearing our socks! Insta hits too!

We honestly just DMed some smaller creators with a few free pairs. Once they posted, it kinda snowballed from there. #Blessed :folded_hands:

Wasn’t there a risk your brand could lose its cool factor if the challenge flopped? Just thinking like, brand rep?? :woman_shrugging:
