Why Short-Term Sales Are Killing Ecommerce Brands | Chris Brewer

In this episode, I sit down with Chris Brewer, co-founder of OMG Commerce, to break down what’s really happening in ecommerce right now. We talk about the explosion of TikTok Shops, Amazon, and influencer-driven sales and why so many brands are confusing fast transactions with real brand building. Chris shares why viral sales don’t always translate to long-term success, how chasing shiny marketing objects can kill longevity, and what it actually takes to build a brand that people search for, trust, and stay loyal to. We also dive into the agency versus in-house debate, how to properly vet marketing partners, and why treating agencies like true partners changes everything. This episode is a wake-up call for entrepreneurs who want to stop playing the short game and start building something that lasts.
