Welcome to Beauty Broadcaster, your ultimate hub for beauty eCommerce insights and industry secrets.

Retail’s New Reality 🛍

Retail growth is no longer confined to brand .com websites. Fospha’s newest report shows customers are shopping across a fragmented mix of web, Amazon, and TikTok Shop, and the data proves it.

In their analysis of $176M in ad spend, Fospha’s research found that:

  • Web/.com now accounts for just 43% of total sales

  • Amazon contributes 22%

  • TikTok Shop is already driving 35% of total sales (for brands actively spending in the channel)

But the report’s biggest finding? 42% of Amazon sales are influenced by ads on TikTok, Meta, Google, and Snap. Traditional tools miss this impact completely.

To solve this, Fospha built Halo. The report demonstrates how Halo’s daily, full-funnel measurement unifies .com and marketplace performance into a single view, capturing the true cross-channel impact of marketing with Unified ROAS [(Web + Amazon Revenue) / Channel Spend].
