Masterclass Wrap Up โœจ

ClickZ had the inside track at Fosphaโ€™s SXSW Masterclass series, where industry leaders unpacked the biggest challenges โ€” and opportunities โ€” shaping eCommerce in 2025. Here are the top takeaways:

  1. The Amazon Measurement Struggle Is Real โ€” But Now Solvable: At the Halo Masterclass, brands shared how theyโ€™ve struggled to measure the impact of off-platform ads on Amazon sales โ€” a consistent challenge weโ€™ve heard across the industry. Fosphaโ€™s latest research introduced Unified ROAS, a game-changing metric that connects external ad spend with Amazon performance for the very first time.

  2. Thereโ€™s More Headroom on TikTok and Snapchat Than You Think: Sessions with TikTok and Snap experts revealed that thereโ€™s still huge untapped potential for brands on these platforms. Full-funnel strategies, creative best practices, and better targeting are key โ€” and data-driven approaches are already driving real results.

  3. It's Time to Quantify the Power of Brand-Building: Upper-funnel investment canโ€™t be ignored โ€” but it also needs to be justified. Fosphaโ€™s data shows how to connect brand investment with business impact, making brand-building a measurable growth driver rather than a leap of faith.

๐Ÿ“Œ Like what youโ€™re reading? Thereโ€™s more to come. Fospha continues the Masterclass series at Shoptalk Spring (March 25โ€“27, Las Vegas) with sessions on Amazon measurement, TikTok, Snapchat, Applovin, and measuring brand impact.

Sector Spotlight ๐ŸŽฅ


TECH-DRIVEN LAWN SOLUTIONS

Gas-powered leaf blowers are being phased out in several US cities due to environmental and noise concerns, driving demand for battery-powered, eco-friendly alternatives. This shift presents an opportunity for the gardening equipment industry in digital commerce. California's legislation mandating zero-emission tools exemplifies an innovative trend that can redefine market engagement and consumer connection strategies in urban settings, particularly through cutting-edge digital marketing efforts.

GARDEN EQUIPMENT BREAKTHROUGH

CH Products unveils the 360 Stabilizer, a game changer in tree care that addresses planting challenges while boosting safety and health through an innovative design. This tool eliminates hazards from wires and stakes, supporting optimal root development and trunk sturdiness. Its cutting-edge features offer digital marketers in the gardening equipment sector unique opportunities to captivate consumers and elevate engagement.


SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES

Composting transforms organic scraps into nutrient-rich soil, aiding sustainable gardening. Starting involves layering greens and browns in a bin, maintaining moisture like a wrung-out sponge, and ensuring aeration by weekly stirring. Finished in six months, this eco-friendly process reduces waste and enriches garden or lawn soil.

TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATION

The Lawn & Garden Equipment Market, poised to surge from $29.48 billion in 2023 to $42.32 billion by 2030 with a 5.3% CAGR, underscores a landscape ripe for digital marketing innovation and strategic consumer engagement. Industry leaders like Toro, Kubota, and Honda continue to harness technological advances, crafting opportunities to elevate digital commerce and foster community building.


CLEANING INNOVATION

Harness the power of a potato to revitalize rusted garden furniture, leveraging oxalic acid in potatoes for effective rust removal. This cost-effective, chemical-free method involves rubbing washing-up liquid covered potato halves on rust, creating a chemical reaction that reveals pristine metal surfaces beneath.
