"Reddit showed the largest hidden impact, with ROAS increasing by 82% once Amazon sales are included. So, Reddit discussion has a big influence on purchase decisions, which has likely also been enhanced by the strong presence of Reddit results in AI chatbot responses."
"Fospha concluded that Reddit is the most undervalued channel in the mix, with its influence is often missed due to reliance on last-click attribution, which fails to recognize the expanded purchase path."
"In 2025, revenue influenced by Reddit increased 257%. That could make it a bigger factor in marketing plans."
Fospha's State of Retail Commerce 2026 report reveals Reddit's substantial but underestimated influence on retail conversions. Using marketing mix modeling, the analysis shows Reddit's return on ad spend increased 82% when Amazon sales are included, with revenue influenced by Reddit jumping 257% year-over-year. The platform's impact stems from users seeking authentic human insights on purchases. Last-click attribution fails to capture Reddit's true value across the expanded purchase journey. Additionally, short-form video drives significant purchase uplift, Google Demand Gen increased purchase actions by 53%, and Pinterest experienced rapid adoption with 131% spending growth. Meta maintains leadership in new customer conversions.
