  • Mastering Operational Fundamentals – Success hinges on smarter inventory management, streamlined return policies, optimised free shipping, and a seamless website experience to drive conversions.

  • AI with a Strategy – AI is powerful, but businesses must first define clear goals. Generative AI, virtual assistants, and AI-driven merchandising (like Ava) are reshaping e-commerce when applied strategically.

  • The Power of Retention & Loyalty – Brands that prioritise retention over constant acquisition see stronger ROI. Loyalty programs, partnerships, and hyper-personalisation remain key to long-term success.

  • The Rise of Social Commerce – AI-powered livestreams, virtual store assistants, and video-driven shopping are transforming customer engagement and boosting conversions.

  • Mobile-First Content Wins – With consumers scrolling in milliseconds, brands must create high-impact, attention-grabbing content to stop the thumb and drive action.

"With the explosion of new marketing and sales channels—especially with the rise of social commerce, the prominence of third-party sales channels like Amazon, and the explosion of brand-building channels like TikTok and Youtube —understanding the true performance of your channels is more critical than ever. Fospha unites the granularity of attribution with the predictive power of MMM (Marketing Mix Modeling) in a single algorithm, helping brands eliminate wasted ad spend and maximize ROI in an increasingly complex marketing landscape."

Sam Carter, CEO of Fospha
