We have products that range from $4 all the way up to $900. So it's a wide range. Most popular item is a four-, five-, and six-foot trophy, which kind of lands at about $89 to $130.
And then dash plaques, which are like little car show things that guys collect when they go to car shows. And yeah, so it's kind of, we sell them for $1.25. We sell minimum 50, but we sell thousands of them a year. I haven't even heard of that. Yeah. There's like these little pieces of metal that people just, they have these big boards that they set out of car shows. It's kind of funny actually.
I'm always amazed how many ways to make money there are. Right. And that's one of the things our company was started on. So how do you get customers? Trophialis started in 1985, so almost, you know, this is our 40th year. And we've launched our Etsy business in 2019, and we did about $70,000 the first year. And then in 2013, or 2023, we launched Amazon and did about $300,000.
And then last year, we launched TikTok Shop, and we did about $270,000 in revenue, but $250,000 of that came in December alone. So we had a video go viral with 20 plus million views. So we went crazy. So 250 of that came in one month. So that was kind of fun. And you sold those. We sold those, yeah.
And not quite family appropriate, but yeah, little death signs that people bought for their boss or whoever it was. So kind of fun. But I was a little crazy for December.
