Hello there @Alexis-Kefi From my observations of the most successful stores I’ve come across here, the most effective medium especially for stores focused on gadgets and clothing products is Instagram and Tik Tok with the help of paid ads well positioned for the target audience.

Great insights @Bundler-Manuel ! Paid ads work well. I believe it’s striking that right balance between organic content to build trust and paid ads for the correct audience.
