Amazon Is Not Your Business Plan: Why Omnichannel Selling Wins Every Time | EP. #199
Description
Is Amazon building your business—or are you building Amazon’s? In this 199th episode of The E-Comm Show, Andrew flips the mic on himself to share why he’s spent years warning brands about Amazon dependency—and how omnichannel diversification is the real path to resilience.
From early experiences in his dad’s e-comm business to agency days running dozens of Amazon accounts, Andrew has seen first-hand what happens when a brand bets too heavily on one platform. He breaks down the risks of Amazon reliance, why operational efficiency is secretly a branding tool, and how Buy with Prime + DSP is rewriting the playbook.
This is part war story, part wake-up call, and part practical guide to building a brand that thrives on AND off Amazon.
