TikTok pushed it for free.
95.7% of the views came from For You. TikTok chose, on its own, to put the carousel in front of 157,500 people who had never heard of the brand. The system backed it, not a budget.

What TikTok carousels for an online shop actually cost.
The carousel on this page cost 16 EUR + VAT, once. An average brand pays 300 to 600 EUR a month for an agency that hands over 8 or 12 reels and promises nothing about performance. Most of them add an ad budget on top, to force the numbers. Here is the comparison:
- On-site shoots, 4 or 6 hours out of your day
- You need an ad budget to get any reach at all
- Zero guarantees, and content copied off the competition
- 100% remote production, zero hours out of your day
- Hook and design built on niche research, not on a hunch
- Organic reach. You pay for the carousel, the algorithm does the rest
