Hassan Alireza is the Founder and CEO of The Daily Crave, a California-based snack company that crafts better‑for‑you, non‑GMO, wholesome snacks sold worldwide. He launched the business in May 2012 with Veggie Chips and Sticks, which quickly gained traction in national retail chains. Under his leadership, the brand has expanded its lineup to include award-winning quinoa chips and, more recently, Crunchy Fries To-Go, which are made from high-quality non-GMO potatoes and are both gluten-free and kosher. Hassan's vision focuses on delivering snacks that are delicious, crunchy, flavorful, and made with clean ingredients that offer nutritional value. In this episode… Many brands assume that direct-to-consumer sales is the only way to scale in today's digital-first marketplace. But can leaning too heavily on DTC actually weaken your growth and profitability? Could retail partnerships and smart channel strategy be the real key to building a sustainable brand? According to Hassan Alireza, a retail and food distribution veteran, retail has always been the most reliable engine for long-term growth. He highlights that snacks are expensive to ship directly, often eroding margins and forcing smaller brands to burn cash. By leveraging established distributors and platforms like Amazon Vendor Central, he maintains efficiency and avoids costly logistics pitfalls. The result is steady expansion without sacrificing financial health. He emphasizes that scaling should be about playing to your strengths, using ecommerce as a marketing tool, and protecting profitability through balancing channel strategies. In this episode of Minds of Ecommerce, Raphael Paulin-Daigle interviews Hassan Alireza, Founder and CEO of The Daily Crave, about why retail still wins over DTC. They discuss the challenges of shipping snacks directly to consumers, the importance of leveraging Amazon without losing control of pricing, and how innovative product launches help attract new customers. Hassan also shares insights on relaunching with Amazon Seller Central and other fresh marketing strategies.

For our final episode recorded live at the CommerceNext Growth show, we welcome two visionary leaders from Tapestry, the global house of brands that includes Coach and Kate Spade: Pooja Chandiramani, VP Global Media Strategy & Planning, Marketing Analytics, Operations and Transformation, and Avinash Kaushik, Brand Strategy & Marketing Transformation.Pooja and Avinash unpack Tapestry's ongoing transformation, which embeds analytics as a core pillar of brand growth. For Coach in particular, analytics isn't just incremental—it's a complete transformation journey. By using data to generate insights that directly drive business impact, Tapestry ensures marketing investments are accountable, measurable, and tied to outcomes.Avinash, a globally recognized thought leader and author, explains how Tapestry embraces intent-centric marketing to connect authentically with consumers. Moving beyond the outdated “accessible luxury” positioning, the company has shifted toward "expressive luxury"—a modern framework that reflects values-driven, authentic consumer engagement, particularly resonant with younger audiences.The conversation dives into the cultural foundations necessary for analytics to thrive. Avinash emphasizes that “culture is more important than data,” crediting Tapestry's CEO Joanne Crevoiserat and senior leadership for creating an environment where data can challenge assumptions and guide decisions. This culture enables bold experiments, including measuring the incrementality of brand marketing—one of the toughest questions in retail.Pooja highlights how creative pre-testing has become a critical unlock. By partnering with Human Made Machine, Tapestry tests campaigns with real audiences before investing media spend. This approach ensures that creative—responsible for up to 70% of marketing impact—delivers measurable results in driving brand awareness and incremental sales. It's a cultural shift, moving from subjective opinions about creative to decisions grounded in data.The episode also explores the role of AI and machine learning in accelerating agility, simplifying decision-making frameworks, and enabling global scalability. Both leaders stress that outcomes-based planning—rather than activity-based planning—keeps Tapestry aligned with its ambitious growth goals.

From solving everyday pain points with shelving to creating a patented surfboard that makes riding waves accessible to anyone, he's built businesses that reflect both lifestyle and innovation.

Retail realist Kate Fannin joins Future Commerce to explore how today's leading brands are redefining the store experience. Spearheading Field Notes, Kate is analyzing in-store experiences at SKIMS, Swatch, Rituals, and more. In this episode, she explains why Return on Experience is becoming a critical metric, how pop-ups act as brand laboratories, and what makes some stores unforgettable while others fall flat.Key Takeaways:Return on Experience (ROE) trumps immediate conversion: Great retail experiences build trust and engagement over multiple visits rather than forcing day-one purchases. Customers may visit four or ten times before converting, especially for luxury or investment pieces.Know your brand story—and tell it consistently: The most successful stores have crystal-clear brand identity. Swatch excels because they know exactly who they are across generations, while other brands confuse customers by mixing messages or defaulting to celebrity associations.Sensorial brands must commit fully: Stores like Rituals in Dublin create immersive experiences (offering green tea, trial sinks, strong scents) that keep customers engaged, while half-measures feel clinical and forgettable like many current luxury retailers.Physical retail is about experimentation, not just sales: Pop-ups and flagship stores serve as brand laboratories where companies test market reception, gather customer data, and create shareable moments—even when immediate sales aren't the primary goal."People buy stuff, they buy things, but they pay for an experience." - Kate Fannin"If you like their stuff, go online"—the worst possible thing someone could say about a store experience. - Kate Fannin on SKIMS"I wish marketing would change their name to engagement because that's really what companies and brands and stores should be focused on." - Kate FanninIn-Show Mentions:Field Notes: Future Commerce's new premium retail analysis product measuring in-store return on experienceSKIMS flagship store: Clinical Fifth Avenue showroom experienceSwatch Times Square: Interactive, multigenerational retail experience with hands-on elementsAssociated Links:Check out Future Commerce on YouTubeCheck out Future Commerce+ for exclusive content and save on merch and printSubscribe to Insiders and The Senses to read more about what we are witnessing in the commerce worldListen to our other episodes of Future CommerceKate Fannin Consulting: katefanninconsulting.comHave any questions or comments about the show?

Raphael Paulin-Daigle is the Founder and CEO of SplitBase, a conversion optimization agency specializing in luxury, lifestyle, and fashion ecommerce brands. Since 2015, he has helped companies like Dr. Squatch, Hyperice, Amika, Kiehl's, NYX Cosmetics, and YSL Beauty generate millions in additional revenue while preserving brand integrity. Known for creating the 3P's methodology and the Testing Trifecta, Raphael combines analytics, qualitative research, and A/B testing to align growth with brand value. A TEDx speaker and the host of the Minds of Ecommerce podcast, he shares strategies that challenge traditional CRO best practices and fuel sustainable growth. In this episode… Ecommerce brands often face a tough dilemma: Increase conversions quickly or protect brand equity for the long term. Traditional CRO tactics, such as countdown timers, fake scarcity, and aggressive pop-ups, may drive short-term sales but can erode trust and tarnish a premium brand. How can companies grow revenue without sacrificing their identity and customer perception? Raphael Paulin-Daigle, a conversion optimization expert, shares his 3P's methodology — Patterns, Perception, and Proof — as a framework for driving growth while strengthening brand value. Raphael explains how to analyze behavioral and voice patterns, build trust through clear positioning and compelling narratives, and validate strategies through smart testing. By approaching optimization holistically, he shows how brands can increase conversions and revenue while maintaining the premium appeal their customers expect. In this episode of Minds of Ecommerce, Raphael Paulin-Daigle, Founder and CEO of SplitBase, breaks down how to scale conversions without weakening brand equity. Raphael discusses the flaws of traditional CRO tactics, why positioning and trust drive long-term growth and the importance of testing offers, pathways, and customer experiences. He also shares a case study on Hyperice's $900K monthly revenue increase while preserving brand integrity.

In this episode, Lex speaks with Ravi Adusumilli - President and GM of the Americas at Airwallex. Ravi and Lex discuss how Airwallex has evolved into a global financial platform by offering businesses an integrated suite of cross-border payments, treasury, and banking services. Founded in 2015, Airwallex now supports 150,000 customers, processes $130 billion in annualized volume (up 73% YoY), and projects a $1 billion revenue run rate by year-end.The company's success stems from its end-to-end infrastructure, homegrown payment rails, and multi-product strategy, with 80% of revenue now coming from customers using more than one product. Airwallex differentiates itself by focusing on global-first B2B use cases and building regional autonomy alongside centralized infrastructure. While not prioritizing stablecoins today, the company is exploring AI-driven financial operations and aims to reach $1 trillion in transaction volume by 2030. NOTABLE DISCUSSION POINTS:Airwallex's Infrastructure: Proprietary Global Payment NetworkAirwallex operates a proprietary global payment infrastructure that processes 95% of its $130 billion in annualized transaction volume. The company has developed its own technology and regulatory framework in partnership with over 60 banks worldwide. This approach reduces dependence on legacy systems such as SWIFT and supports greater control over transaction speed, cost, and compliance.Expansion Through Multi-Product OfferingAirwallex has expanded its services beyond cross-border payments to include card issuance, spend management, treasury functions, and merchant acquiring. According to company data, 80% of revenue is generated from customers using multiple products. Payments now account for 70% of net revenue and are growing at three times the rate year over year.Decentralized Go-To-Market StructureAirwallex employs a regional management model, with General Managers responsible for performance and operations in specific geographies. This structure is supported by centralized functions such as product development, compliance, and engineering. With 1,700 employees in 26 offices, the company uses this hybrid model to manage growth and adapt to local regulatory environments across multiple regions, including Latin America and Asia-Pacific. TOPICSAirwallex, Stripe, Brex, Rippling, Shopify, Pinterest, Visa, fintech, global payments, e-commerce, cross-border transactions, paytech, embedded payments, CFO stack, stablecoins, AI ABOUT THE FINTECH BLUEPRINT

The company was founded by an ex-Google engineer, Stephen Yang. Anker's success is attributed to some innovative marketing strategies, including using Kickstarter campaigns to pre-launch their products. They've also hired top-level talent quite early on for their business growth. Anker has avoided black hat tactics that plague the top of the top especially.  Anchor has diversified into a completely different direction while also still being somewhat related.

In this episode of the Remarkable Retail Podcast, our guest is with Lauren Price, Senior Vice President, E-Commerce & Digital Marketing for COS North America discussing her impressive career trajectory and work positioning the H&M-owned brand for growth in a competitive, fast-moving fashion retail landscape.Lauren's career began in the early days of luxury e-commerce at Createthe Group, building first-generation online stores for high-end brands . Her path included consulting with Demandware and L2 (Scott Galloway's firm), leading to her first in-house brand role at J.Crew before joining COS—a globally recognized fashion brand known for exceptional quality, timeless style, and meticulous craftsmanship.At COS, Lauren oversees North American marketing and digital commerce, a key growth market.

Victoria Jackson, the original creator and pioneer of the term No Makeup Makeup—and owner of the trademark—has spent decades shaping the way women think about beauty. Starting as a makeup artist in the 1980s, she sparked a movement that celebrated natural beauty and empowered women to feel confident in their own skin. She went on to found Victoria Jackson Cosmetics, the first cosmetics brand sold on television, achieving an unprecedented $1 million in sales in its first week and ultimately driving over $1 billion in revenue through 13 groundbreaking infomercials and a decade on QVC. After stepping away from the industry to focus on her family, Victoria made a triumphant return in 2024 with the launch of No Makeup Makeup—the brand—bringing a new era of clean, effortless beauty. Anchored by 13 inclusive shades of a 7-in-1 Foundation with proprietary FlexShade Technology™ and a precision-matched brush, the line is designed to enhance rather than mask. When it debuted on QVC in January 2025, it generated $1 million in just 24 hours, proving the enduring power of Victoria's vision. Today, No Makeup Makeup continues to redefine beauty standards, showing that true radiance comes from confidence, not heavy layers of product.In this episode, Victoria also discusses:Pioneering the “no makeup makeup” movement during the 80sHer famous “half-face” demonstrative marketing When you look better, you feel betterThe importance of shade selectionWhy wearing more makeup ages youTurning challenges into opportunitiesExpanding the line into blushes and lipsticksWe hope you enjoy this episode and gain valuable insights into Victoria's journey and the growth of www.nomakeupmakeup.com.
