We spoke with Brian to hear his thoughts on the current and future state of e-commerce, the most common mistakes brands make, and what it really takes to build sustainable digital businesses.
Growing with Purpose: The Mission Behind BSR Digital
“When someone starts an e-commerce brand, they dream of making it grow,” says Brian. That dream guides every step at BSR Digital, where the team works daily to help their clients reach their full potential.
7 Trends Shaping E-Commerce in the U.S.:
Based on his experience working with major U.S. brands, Brian highlights several trends transforming the industry:
Profitability as a Priority
The current U.S. landscape is marked by rising costs and limited investment. This forces brands to focus on profitability, improving margins, increasing average order value, and maximizing customer lifetime value.
The Mistake of Thinking a Website and Ads Are Enough
A common mistake is assuming that having a website and running paid ads is all it takes. “You need to bring your brand to life—create content, tell your story, and offer excellent customer support,” Brian explains. That’s how you build a real, lasting business.
Tips for Beginners
His top advice for new entrepreneurs is to research the market thoroughly and choose a product and sub-niche with real potential. Then, it’s essential to surround yourself with the right partners in manufacturing, logistics, and tech to support your growth.
Standing Out Through Experience
“Today, user experience and personalization are key to standing out,” Brian says. Even if several brands sell similar products, differentiation lies in positioning, the shopping experience, and the brand-customer relationship. A great example: athletic underwear brands that focus on specific sub-niches within the broader market.
Success Stories That Prove the Impact
“The takeaway is clear: brands that commit to their digital channel are the ones that truly grow,” he affirms.
Creating Content to Drive Growth
Brian is firm: “If your product can help someone, why not create content so more people can benefit?” With content creation more accessible than ever—even with just a phone—many brands are already generating up to 50% of their sales organically.
Final Thought: Build a Brand That Lasts
“You never know what’s around the corner,” says Brian. That’s why a brand needs to be more than just a sales channel. It needs identity, a community, and a clear value proposition. That’s the difference between simply having a website and building a brand with a future.
