Summary
When most brands struggle to break through the noise online, Chris Lang and Fresh Chili Company cracked the code by doing something radically different: they started with story, not sales. In this episode, discover how a small New Mexico chili company became a top 1% Shopify store with explosive 85% year-over-year growth, a 4.96% conversion rate, and 3.74% ROAS—all while building an engaged community that devours their content faster than NBA games get views. Chris reveals the exact strategies behind their meteoric rise, from leveraging organic social as a testing ground for paid ads to creating "addictive" content that turns customers into brand evangelists. This isn't another generic growth story—it's a masterclass in building authentic connections that drive real business results. — Sponsored by OMG Commerce - go to (https://www.omgcommerce.com/contact) and request your FREE strategy session today! — Chapters: (00:00) Introduction to Fresh Chile Company (02:30) History of The Chili Capital of the World (07:03) Keys to Success: Storytelling & Community (11:20) Balancing Organic and Paid Strategies (16:57) Creative Content & Testing Philosophy (21:47) Building a Brand Story (24:22) Search Visibility (27:46) SEO Strategies & Content Plans (34:20) How Fresh Chile Builds Community — Connect With Brett: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thebrettcurry/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@omgcommerce Website: https://www.omgcommerce.com/ Relevant Links: Chris’ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrislangsocial/ Fresh Chile Website: https://freshchileco.com/ _ Past guests on eCommerce Evolution include Ezra Firestone, Steve Chou, Drew Sanocki, Jacques Spitzer, Jeremy Horowitz, Ryan Moran, Sean Frank, Andrew Youderian, Ryan Mc…
