They are doing a massive marketing campaign with extremely aggressive selling prices to the point that they feel a scam
Combined with a very proficient affiliate service
In fact, with the amount of threads many people has put in this forum related to Temu, I seriously doubt that currently anyone don't know about this service.

I felt the same, just got curious to know about the untabled market. It seems this is also a marketing ad campaign.

I can't imagine the amount of money they are spending even on affiliates. It won't last long, for sure.
These Chinese government backed companies move an unimaginable amount of money and after the Jack Ma penalties I think they want to empower other Chinese marketplaces apart from the Ali-branded ones.
Chinese feel they cannot rely more on Jack Ma after his allegations against the government.

I bought a strawberry plush toy as a present for a friend from Temu.

Received a small dog sized version...

10/10. Friend still liked it tho.

Yeah I liken them to more of a Wish alternative.

IMHO, they'll have no chance to compete with amazon. Wish? Deffo. Not big daddy Jeff's Amazon tho.

They're at 100mil downloads the last time I check. Crazy growth and as you said they're smashing those ads out like crazy.

They make brilliant use of influence strats, scarcity, urgency, reciprocity

Never heard about it before.

If their affiliate program is as well-paying as suggested by the replies, I would think someone could benefit by cheap paid traffic to through aff-links with emphasis on it being cheaper than amazon.

Temu is not accredited by Better Business Bureau (BBB) and has an average rating there of two out of five stars. Many recent complaints about Temu on the BBB website say that items never arrived or, if they did, took weeks or even months to arrive.

That websites gives me more of a 'Aliexpress' vibe and not Amazon.

I heard a lot about Chinese markets. They have bad quality of their products but they can win Amazon with their amount of products. Let's wait and make money on it!

Every item that I ordered arrived and they are quite lenient on returns and refunds. I wonder how long it'll last though.

I bought some things from Temu. They were shipped to USA. Took about 7-12 days each time. Most of the stuff looks very different than actual product you get. Everything seems smaller. I'd say that with the exception of 2 drones I bought everything was junk. And the drones are not the best but they fly and give my son the ability to learn to fly before getting into something larger. Bought a car vacuum and it barely worked, junk basically.
