1. Set up tracking and your ad account
Link your TikTok Ads Manager to Seller Center, then install the TikTok Pixel and Events API (or the Shopify TikTok app) so purchases feed the algorithm.
2. Know your break-even ROAS for supplements
Most supplements brands break even around 1.8–2.5 ROAS after COGS, fees, commission and returns. Calculate yours before spending — use our free True ROAS calculator.
3. Build the creative supply
Lead with "I stopped my afternoon crash after 2 weeks" — routine-result openers. Test three angles: 30-day diary Spark Ads; label close-up with ingredient callouts; skeptic-turned-believer review. Authorize your best creator posts as Spark Ads and keep 5–15 live.
4. Launch GMV Max
GMV Max is TikTok's supported campaign type for TikTok Shop Ads. Start at $50–$100/day. Mode advice for this niche: Target ROI once you have 50+ orders; repeat buyers lift true ROAS over 60 days.
5. Stay inside ad policy
For supplements: TikTok ad policy bans weight-loss guarantees and disease claims; avoid before/after body imagery. Rejected ads slow learning and can restrict the account.
6. Scale in steps
Raise budget 20–30% every two to three days while blended ROAS holds above break-even. Add new winning creatives weekly to prevent fatigue.
7. Plan for peak seasons
Biggest windows for supplements: January resolutions and back-to-school energy. Stock creative and inventory 3–4 weeks ahead.
