Because of TikTok… - 98% of my customers have found my small business. - We’ve sold over 52k greeting cards. - Bought $19k worth of stamps from @USPS. - Built a community of over 113k followers from across the world. - Donated to @American_Heart, suicide prevention groups, and local schools. - Created jobs. - Worked with incredible brands. - I found my voice and watched my wildest dreams come true. - I found Joy and community in a season that was full of loneliness and isolation. TikTok is more than just an app for lip-syncing and dancing. It’s a dynamic space where small businesses like mine are finding a voice and experiencing substantial growth. Small businesses are THRIVING on TikTok! Together we will fight to tell our stories and to #KeepTikTok! @TikTokPolicy @TikTokComms @tiktokcreators @tiktok_us

Tried to disconnect an unused line that I’ve been billed for 10 months from my @Verizon account - and instead I am 3 hours in as they screwed up my actual phone line and no one can seem to connect it again. This is ridiculous. After 10 years with Verizon - I’m ready to switch. Who are we switching to?!

So grateful for the opportunity to share how TikTok has been instrumental in my small businesses success! 98% of my sales come from people who have found me on TikTok - and that success hasn’t been able to be replicated on any other platform. 👏
Yesterday, we partnered with the @scchamber for Small Business Day at the Capitol and hosted a fireside chat with South Carolina small businesses to talk about how they’re growing their presence on TikTok. By the numbers 📈: 96% of small and medium sized businesses in South Carolina say their business’s sales increased after promoting their products and services on TikTok and 70% of them sold out. Plus, 74K businesses are active on TikTok, contributing $300M to the state’s GDP. Thank you @CallieGoodwin, @KangaCoolers, and @thetinytassel for joining us! @brandonguffeysc thanks for stopping by and congrats on your first TikTok: tinyurl.com/2csx366s 👏

Small businesses are thriving on @tiktok_us - and as a creator and business owner - the 75 day extension gives me hope that the 2 years we have now spent fighting against this ban is coming to an end soon! 👏 So grateful for all the work that TikTok has done to support small businesses like mine who have found success on the platform - success we haven’t been able to replicate anywhere else. The fight isn’t over - but the ending feels like it’s in sight. #KeepTikTok #SaveTikTok @TikTokComms @TikTokPolicy

98% of my small businesses sales come from people finding or purchasing from me on TikTok. A TikTok ban would be devastating for our company. #KeepTikTok #SaveTikTok
Small businesses on TikTok contributed $24.2 billion to the U.S. economy in 2023. Read more about how TikTok provides businesses of all sizes both direct and indirect financial benefits via @WSJ ⬇️ wsj.com/tech/a-tiktok-ban-is…

A friend sent me this photo - and this sums up everything. 2 years of fighting the TikTok ban on the front lines - and I don’t regret a single moment. Our communities and businesses have always been worth fighting for. I will forever be proud of the work we did to advocate for ourselves, our businesses, and communities. TikTok was never the enemy. Our free speech and ability to coordinate, learn, and assemble was a threat to our politicians who realized they were being exposed in a place they couldn’t control. But don’t worry. Banning @tiktok_us just lit a fire in millions of Americans who are absolutely fed up with our government. We will not forget. #TikTokBan #KeepTikTok #SaveTikTok.

You’re telling me that I, a social media manager for a public university, can’t ban/delete/block users and/or comments because of the First Amendment, but the US government is allowed to ban a social media platform?

I stand with Tiffany Cianci and many others on the support to keep TikTok and we'll fight to the very end. To @realDonaldTrump and @POTUS we express and demand that TikTok be left alone as is. It's never been a security threat as noted in this ban the Supreme Court noted today.
TikTok Family, your voices are being heard!! They will NEVER silence us. We are 170 million Americans, 7 Million Small Businesses, Hundreds of Thousands of Employees of TikTok businesses, and Millions of Creators that rely on TikTok to provide for our families! Keep sharing your stories and fighting to Save TikTok!!! @POTUS - issue the statement needed to keep the lights on, and @realDonaldTrump, PLEASE remember that we are counting on you to deliver on your promise to protect our community and economy by saving @tiktok_us!

I hope @POTUS and @JoeBiden use his final hours in office to grant an extension for TikTok

These are real stories, of real Americans, who will be destroyed by the tiktok ban.
Hey @elonmusk - Why is @X suppressing and deleting the posts and engagement being brought to X tonight by the TikTok Community?! These are real people - not BOTS, fighting to Save TikTok for small businesses, creators, and our economy. They have come here to make their voices heard by their political representatives. STOP DELETING ALL OF YOUR NEW USERS ACCOUNTS and suspending them for taking action - this is supposed to be a platform built on 1a?!

I will say this over and over with every breath I have. This will DESTROY small businesses like mine. We are thriving on TikTok and can’t not replicate the success we have on other platforms. Believe me - I’ve tried. 98% of my sales come from TikTok. @POTUS - We need you!
Statement on Possible Shutdown The statements issued today by both the Biden White House and the Department of Justice have failed to provide the necessary clarity and assurance to the service providers that are integral to maintaining TikTok's availability to over 170 million Americans. Unless the Biden Administration immediately provides a definitive statement to satisfy the most critical service providers assuring non-enforcement, unfortunately TikTok will be forced to go dark on January 19.

I am angry at today’s decision from the Supreme Court. As a small business that gets 98% of my customers & sales from TikTok - my business won’t survive this loss. I’m calling on @realDonaldTrump to save TikTok. It’s more that lip syncing and dancing. It’s commerce, it’s entertainment, it’s jobs, its education, it’s joy. #tiktokban #keeptiktok #savetiktok

I am deeply disappointed that Congress chose to slide the TikTok Ban into a foreign aid package. As a small business who has 98% of my sales coming from people who find me on TikTok - This is devastating and I fear for the survival of my business. This congress is not speaking for the people... and you better believe that come Election Day - the 170 million Americans and 7 million small business who use TikTok will not forget this decision. History has it's eyes on you. #KeepTikTok #TikTokBan @tiktok_us

I’ve decided I can’t sit back and do nothing. I’m driving over 7 hours tonight from South Carolina be in Washington DC as the senate votes on the TikTok Ban. My small business is thriving because of TikTok and will be destroyed if we ban this app. @LindseyGrahamSC and @SenatorTimScott - my eyes are on you tomorrow. Myself and the other 74k businesses and 1.5 million South Carolinians who actively use TikTok are watching how you vote on the TikTok Ban. Over 3,300 jobs were supported by SMB's using TikTok and $300M was contributed to SC's GDP by SC SMB's on TikTok. #KeepTikTok #TikTokBan
