Travel Unpacked

Here's what's happening this week in the world of travel and travel accessories eCommerce:

😯Most brands will get Peak 2025 wrong…

They’ll overspend, chase platform ROAS, and miss the growth happening outside .com. The brands winning peak have already shifted using full-funnel measurement to invest earlier, plan smarter, and scale profitably across DTC and different marketplaces.

Fospha's Peak Playbook 2025 distills their strategies, benchmarks, and budget splits, built on billions of dollars of ad spend data, so you don’t make the same mistakes.

📌WEEKLY MUST-KNOWS

AUKEY unveiled 14 Qi2.2 MagFusion products, including the first dual-phone Qi2.2-certified charger and active cooling models that lower temps by up to 20°C. The rapid adoption of Qi2.2 pushes higher-power, magnetically aligned charging into mainstream travel scenarios, opening new bundling, compatibility and merchandising plays for travel gear and DTC tech brands. Expect ecosystem claims and PDPs to shift around multi-device charging, heat management and cross-platform compatibility.

EcoFlow introduced two 27,650mAh airline-friendly power banks with up to 140W USB-C output, app control and 20-minute 80% recharge (with desktop charger); the Pro X adds a smart LCD and magnetic accessories. Faster, higher-wattage, laptop-grade charging expands attachment and upsell opportunities for travel retailers serving remote workers and creators. Brands should update compliance messaging, cross-sell cables and smartwatch chargers, and lean on performance proof points in content.

Urban Jungle’s Tanisha Jatia details how Indian Gen Z and millennials are driving a move from utilitarian luggage to expressive, lightweight, colorful, hybrid designs, with omnichannel journeys where online drives discovery and offline seals the purchase. This marks a product and merchandising pivot for brands targeting India or applying similar playbooks globally. Product managers and eCommerce teams should prioritize design differentiation, cabin-first form factors and integrated D2C-marketplace-retail strategies.
