Black Friday & Cyber Monday 2025 has wrapped. Beyond GMV, DTC brands also need to review where the traffic came from and how ad dollars performed. Brands should not rely on internal dashboards alone.Understanding macro-level trends is essential for planning the next cycle. Based on GoodsFox ad-tracking data, several patterns stood out: Apparel and beauty faced stronger competition. 3D printers and mechanical keyboards moved from niche hobbies to mainstream. Pet products stayed stable with long-tail demand rather than viral spikes. These shifts reshaped this year’s BFCM ad landscape.Let’s start with the traffic fundamentals. 01 Traffic Fundamentals Each year brings new trends. But in terms of ad volume, traditional categories still hold most traffic. Source：GoodsFox From October to November, the top […]

Meituan—one of China’s most successful internet companies—is entering the U.S. market. But it is not bringing food delivery or quick commerce. Instead, Meituan is launching a B2B restaurant technology suite built on its full-stack operational engine.Source：unsplash For over a decade, Meituan has refined an integrated system that links ordering, payments, supply chain, delivery, and restaurant operations. Its Restaurant SaaS tools now serve more than one million merchants, and its cross-border payment business covers 30+ major tourist cities.

Recently, a very unusual prediction market platform has gained widespread attention and sparked intense discussion.The platform is Polymarket, where users engage in behavior that looks almost like “betting”. Here’s a fitting example: “How many tweets will Elon Musk post this week?” This single question has reached $6.33M USD in market value on Polymarket. Source: Polymarket So far this week, Musk has already posted 131 tweets. If you place a position on the “120–139” range right now, you only need $1 for a potential return of $166.来源：PolymarketMore interestingly, a week ago, this range had a 99.9% predicted probability. As Musk kept posting and market sentiment shifted, the implied probability dropped to below 1%. The volatility is sharper than many stock markets.

Is menopause a disease? Not quite. It’s a natural stage of life—but often one that comes with real physical and emotional challenges: sleep disruption, mood swings, and hormonal shifts that impact daily wellbeing. According to GoodsFox data, menopause-related products account for 9.1% of global health supplement ads, reflecting how brands have turned this transitional phase into a fast-growing wellness niche.  Amid strict advertising regulations and a market that depends heavily on repeat purchases, one brand stands out—Happy Mammoth, an Australian DTC supplement company that achieved $14 million in annual revenue. How did they do it—and what can other health brands learn from their playbook?   01 The Anxiety-Driven Business: Growth Hurdles in Health Supplements Growth follows a loop: insight → […]

On September 17, Jerome Powell walked onto the stage and said the most expensive words of the year: “Good afternoon.” Wall Street jokes that when Powell opens with “Good afternoon,” it signals a hawkish tone. If he says “Hello everyone,” it’s usually dovish. This time, it was indeed “Good afternoon.” Other central bankers also send signals through small gestures. Russia’s Elvira Nabiullina wears a dove brooch for dovish speeches and an eagle brooch for hawkish ones. These details reinforce personal branding. Buffett has his Coca-Cola, NBA legends have their cigars, and Powell has his words. Back to business. The Fed cut its benchmark rate by 25 basis points to 4.00%-4.25% and hinted at two more cuts this year. For global […]

The corner of a room is often where fitness equipment goes to die. Treadmills become clothing racks, and fitness mirrors collect dust.
