Strategic Recommendations

(4 actions)
1

Launch TikTok Shop immediately

A 0/100 TikTok Shop Commerce Score despite moderate TikTok momentum at 56/100 indicates a complete absence from a direct sales channel where the brand is already generating buzz.

Establish a brand-owned TikTok Shop within 14 days to capitalize on the 56/100 TikTok momentum and creator-driven traffic. Failing to launch now means leaving direct sales on the table where competitors will soon enter.

2

Establish Amazon presence

The 0/100 Amazon score shows a critical gap in a major retail channel, while 21,293/month search volume suggests existing consumer demand for the product category.

List core Tom's of Maine products on Amazon marketplace within 30 days to capture existing search intent and leverage the platform's massive customer base. Ignoring Amazon means missing out on significant sales volume and allowing competitor brands to dominate the 'natural toothpaste' search results.

3

Brief 5 US micro-creators

97% of creators are US-based, and #naturaltoothpaste has 2.8M plays, indicating a strong existing audience for this specific product benefit that can be further activated.

Engage 5 US-based micro-creators (50K-200K followers) with a focus on #naturaltoothpaste and #getintonature to expand content beyond partner-specific hashtags. This will diversify content and reach new audiences, preventing reliance on a single creator type.

4

Develop YouTube search strategy

A 0/100 Google/YouTube score combined with significant search volume (21,293/month) highlights a major untapped opportunity for educational and review content.

Create a content strategy for YouTube focusing on long-form reviews, 'what's in my routine' videos, and ingredient deep-dives to answer consumer questions. This will capture the 21,293/month search volume and build authority where the brand currently has a 0/100 presence.

Action Plan

Tom's of Maine's Ecommerce Team — must prioritize launching on Amazon and TikTok Shop to convert existing social buzz and search interest into direct sales.
Burt's Bees' Product Development Team — should closely monitor Tom's of Maine's social traction in the natural toothpaste category to identify emerging consumer preferences.
Hello Products' Marketing Team — could leverage Tom's of Maine's TikTok momentum as a blueprint for their own creator campaigns, focusing on #naturaltoothpaste.
