In this episode of Mastering eCommerce Marketing, Eitan Koter sits down with Andrew Maff, founder and CEO of Blue Tusker. Andrew has worked inside ecommerce brands and now leads a team that supports them across ads, SEO, Amazon strategy, and more.

Eitan and Andrew talk about why relying on one sales channel, especially Amazon, can put a brand at risk. Andrew explains how to diversify in small steps, how to test demand before building a full website, and how to use SEO to bring in traffic that Amazon rewards.

They also get into rising ad costs, how real shoppers move across platforms, and why a top down view of performance makes more sense than chasing ROAS in each channel.

Andrew closes with advice for Q4 and beyond. He shares how to keep new customers engaged in the new year without pushing constant discounts.

A simple and clear conversation about building a more stable ecommerce business.
