TikTok trends in the kiosk: how retailers profit from them
A video with millions of views – and the next day pupils ask for exactly that product at the kiosk. Here is how to spot TikTok trends in time and turn them into sales.

• Customers ask for the same product several times, often with their phone in their hand. • The product appears in videos with “test”, “challenge” or “ASMR”. • Other shops in the area already have it or it is sold out there.
An easy way: follow wholesalers that stock trend items, for example MDH on TikTok – there you see new items as soon as they are in stock.
Typical trend categories
Spicy snacks: Takis and Samyang Buldak became known through spicy challenges. Drinks: Korean drinks such as LOTTE Milkis and limited editions. Toys: Butter Squishies, Squishy Cubes and Crispy Squishies – often through “Squishy ASMR” videos.
Be quick, but start small
Trends come quickly and sometimes go quickly too. It is best to order a small quantity early, watch sales for one to two weeks and then reorder. Without a minimum order value, this is possible without much risk.
Make it visible in the shop
Trend items belong where young customers look: at the till and at eye level. A “Seen on TikTok” note makes them easier to recognise. If you post short videos from your own shop (“New in store: …”), you can bring customers from the neighbourhood into your kiosk.
