Sales have cooled \u2013 with a reported 9% drop in quarterly revenue earlier this year \u2013 and the brand is grappling with tariff-induced cost hikes that are squeezing margins on its China- and Vietnam-made products. These supply chain challenges have led to price increases of $5\u2013$10 on some sneaker models.<\/span><span style=\"font-family:Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, sans-serif;font-size:12pt;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:12px;padding-left:15px;padding-right:15px;padding-top:12px;\">\n<p style=\"color:#11112d;color:var(--wt-text-on-background-color) !important;font-family:'Lato','Open Sans','Segoe UI',Tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:16px;line-height:1.5;text-align:left;\"><span style=\"\">At the same time, competition is heating up. Nike\u2019s global market share slipped to 14.1% in 2024 (down from 15.2%), as brands like New Balance, On Running, and Hoka gain momentum. In other words, Nike\u2019s brand supremacy is under threat, and the company is feeling the pinch of a tougher economy and savvier competitors.<\/span><span style=\"font-family:Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, sans-serif;font-size:12pt;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:12px;padding-left:15px;padding-right:15px;padding-top:12px;\">\n<p style=\"color:#11112d;color:var(--wt-text-on-background-color) !important;font-family:'Lato','Open Sans','Segoe UI',Tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:16px;line-height:1.5;text-align:left;\"><span style=\"\">Nike\u2019s new CEO and executive team are taking a pragmatic approach: if customers are shopping in certain places, Nike plans to be there. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:10px;padding-left:19px;padding-right:19px;padding-top:10px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color:#fafafa;padding-bottom:7px;padding-left:10px;padding-right:10px;padding-top:7px;border-left-color:#f9297f;border-left-style:solid;border-left-width:2px;border-radius:5px;\">\n<div style=\"left\">\n<p style=\"color:#11112d;font-family:Lato;font-size:15px;line-height:Normal;margin:0;padding-bottom:12px;padding-top:12px;text-align:left;\"><span style=\"\">\u201cNike is investing in our marketplace to ensure we\u2019re offering the right products, best services, and tailored experiences to consumers wherever and however they choose to shop,\u201d <\/span>the company said in a recent statement.<span style=\"font-family:Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, sans-serif;font-size:12pt;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:12px;padding-left:15px;padding-right:15px;padding-top:12px;\">\n<p style=\"color:#11112d;color:var(--wt-text-on-background-color) !important;font-family:'Lato','Open Sans','Segoe UI',Tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:16px;line-height:1.5;text-align:left;\"><span style=\"\">This signals a strategic pivot.

In its absence, unauthorized third-party merchants filled the gap \u2013 often selling gray-market or counterfeit products.

Halo is Fospha\u2019s multi sales channel measurement feature, it allows brands to see the impact of all their online advertising across every online sales channel, including Amazon holistically, this will show which brand and other top of funnel ads drive Amazon sales enabling Nike to be smart and create multiple sales channel impact.<\/span><span style=\"font-family:Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, sans-serif;font-size:12pt;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-left:15px;padding-right:15px;\">\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:5px;padding-left:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-top:5px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fospha.com\/halo?utm_source=clickz&amp;utm_medium=newsletter&amp;utm_campaign=CZweekly2024\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" style=\"text-decoration: none;\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" style=\"margin:0 auto 0 auto;width:100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/media.beehiiv.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/fit=scale-down,format=auto,onerror=redirect,quality=80\/uploads\/asset\/file\/d6e9b14e-7112-418b-96ed-79a27d4ea5a9\/image.png?t=1748613245\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:12px;padding-left:15px;padding-right:15px;padding-top:12px;\">\n<p style=\"color:#11112d;color:var(--wt-text-on-background-color) !important;font-family:'Lato','Open Sans','Segoe UI',Tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:16px;line-height:1.5;text-align:left;\"><span style=\"\">By combining DTC, ad platform, and Amazon data, Halo helps marketers see how, for example, a Snapchat campaign influenced Prime Day orders. According to Fospha\u2019s team, campaigns on TikTok showed up to 80% higher unified ROAS when Amazon purchases were accounted for. Meta campaigns showed similar gains.<\/span><span style=\"font-family:Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, sans-serif;font-size:12pt;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:12px;padding-left:15px;padding-right:15px;padding-top:12px;\">\n<p style=\"color:#11112d;color:var(--wt-text-on-background-color) !important;font-family:'Lato','Open Sans','Segoe UI',Tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:16px;line-height:1.5;text-align:left;\"><span style=\"\">For a brand like Nike, this kind of measurement will be vital. As it rolls out campaigns to support its Amazon return, Nike\u2019s marketing team will want to know: <\/span><span style=\"\"><i>Are Snapchat ads driving apparel sales? Is Instagram performance translating to Amazon conversions? <\/i><\/span><span style=\"\">Halo\u2019s approach enables data-driven decisions about where to double down.<\/span><span style=\"font-family:Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, sans-serif;font-size:12pt;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:12px;padding-left:15px;padding-right:15px;padding-top:12px;\">\n<p style=\"color:#11112d;color:var(--wt-text-on-background-color) !important;font-family:'Lato','Open Sans','Segoe UI',Tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:16px;line-height:1.5;text-align:left;\"><span style=\"\">Other brands watching Nike\u2019s move should take note. Marketplace expansion without robust measurement risks blind spots. With better attribution tools, brands can properly credit the campaigns that drive multi-platform sales \u2013 and allocate budgets with more precision.<\/span><span style=\"font-family:Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, sans-serif;font-size:12pt;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:10px;padding-left:19px;padding-right:19px;padding-top:10px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF;padding-bottom:10px;padding-left:40px;padding-right:40px;padding-top:14px;\">\n<p> \u275d <\/p>\n<div style=\"center\">\n<p style=\"color:#11112d;font-family:Lato;font-size:24px;line-height:Normal;margin:0;padding-bottom:12px;padding-top:12px;text-align:left;\"><span style=\"\"><b>It\u2019s a major milestone in a general movement from brands considering their website to be the entirety of their online proposition to just one of their online sales channels.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><small style=\"color:#249afa;font-size:12px;\"> \u2014 <i>Sam Carter, CEO of Fospha<\/i><span style=\"font-family:Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, sans-serif;font-size:12pt;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/small><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><h2 style=\"color:#11112d;color:var(--wt-text-on-background-color) !important;font-family:'Lato','Open Sans','Segoe UI',Tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:24px;font-weight:normal;line-height:1.5;margin:0;text-align:left;\"><span style=\"\"><b>The New Growth Model<\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-family:Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, sans-serif;font-size:12pt;\"><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:12px;padding-left:15px;padding-right:15px;padding-top:12px;\">\n<p style=\"color:#11112d;color:var(--wt-text-on-background-color) !important;font-family:'Lato','Open Sans','Segoe UI',Tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:16px;line-height:1.5;text-align:left;\"><span style=\"\">In the late 2010s, many brands preached the gospel of channel contraction (cutting out middlemen, going direct). That era proved that while DTC can drive higher margins and deep customer connections, it\u2019s not a panacea for growth.<\/span><span style=\"font-family:Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, sans-serif;font-size:12pt;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:12px;padding-left:15px;padding-right:15px;padding-top:12px;\">\n<p style=\"color:#11112d;color:var(--wt-text-on-background-color) !important;font-family:'Lato','Open Sans','Segoe UI',Tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:16px;line-height:1.5;text-align:left;\"><span style=\"\">Now, in 2025, the pendulum is swinging towards channel diversification once again. Brands want to be everywhere the customer is \u2013 online, offline, owned channels, third-party marketplaces \u2013 to maximize revenue streams and resilience.<\/span><span style=\"font-family:Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, sans-serif;font-size:12pt;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:12px;padding-left:15px;padding-right:15px;padding-top:12px;\">\n<p style=\"color:#11112d;color:var(--wt-text-on-background-color) !important;font-family:'Lato','Open Sans','Segoe UI',Tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:16px;line-height:1.5;text-align:left;\"><span style=\"\">However, the difference today is that brands are far more cognizant of maintaining a single view of the customer and the funnel. They know that without the proper data, being everywhere can lead to seeing nowhere \u2013 you can\u2019t tell what\u2019s actually working.<\/span><span style=\"font-family:Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, sans-serif;font-size:12pt;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:12px;padding-left:15px;padding-right:15px;padding-top:12px;\">\n<p style=\"color:#11112d;color:var(--wt-text-on-background-color) !important;font-family:'Lato','Open Sans','Segoe UI',Tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:16px;line-height:1.5;text-align:left;\"><span style=\"\">For senior marketing and retail executives, the lesson is to embrace an omnichannel presence coupled with omnichannel measurement. Nike\u2019s move should prompt conversations in boardrooms: <\/span><span style=\"\"><i>Do we have the right analytics to support a multi-channel strategy? Can we attribute sales on our partners\u2019 platforms back to our campaigns?

They are investing in data infrastructure and partnerships (like measurement platforms like Fospha that plug into various ecosystems) to ensure that as they broaden distribution, they don\u2019t lose the thread on performance. In a world where Amazon alone captures about one-third of all U.S. e-commerce, ignoring that channel is not an option \u2013 but neither is blindly diving in without the tools to gauge success.<\/span><span style=\"font-family:Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, sans-serif;font-size:12pt;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><h2 style=\"color:#11112d;color:var(--wt-text-on-background-color) !important;font-family:'Lato','Open Sans','Segoe UI',Tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:24px;font-weight:normal;line-height:1.5;margin:0;text-align:left;\"><span style=\"\"><b>A Sign of the Times: Dick\u2019s Sporting Goods Acquires Foot Locker<\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-family:Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, sans-serif;font-size:12pt;\"><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:12px;padding-left:15px;padding-right:15px;padding-top:12px;\">\n<p style=\"color:#11112d;color:var(--wt-text-on-background-color) !important;font-family:'Lato','Open Sans','Segoe UI',Tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:16px;line-height:1.5;text-align:left;\"><span style=\"\">If Nike\u2019s Amazon return signals a more pragmatic approach to distribution, the $2.4 billion <\/span><span style=\"\"><a class=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/ft.pressreader.com\/article\/281676850835792?utm_source=clickz&amp;utm_medium=newsletter&amp;utm_campaign=CZweekly2024\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"-webkit-text-decoration:underline #ffa12f;color:#11112d;text-decoration:underline #ffa12f;word-break:break-word;;\">merger between <\/a><\/span><span style=\"\"><a class=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/ft.pressreader.com\/article\/281676850835792?utm_source=clickz&amp;utm_medium=newsletter&amp;utm_campaign=CZweekly2024\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"-webkit-text-decoration:underline #ffa12f;color:#11112d;text-decoration:underline #ffa12f;word-break:break-word;;\"><b>Dick\u2019s Sporting Goods and Foot Locker<\/b><\/a><\/span><span style=\"\"> underscores it.
