Many companies have been fighting for years in the online market and have achieved success, but Amazon is one of the best, and there are some more special places worthy of our attention. Many marketers are trying to figure out Amazon’s algorithms to better understand how it attracts customers and how to maintain customer loyalty.

Amazon’s launch of Prime is actually a wonderful game. Such smart marketing techniques not only give users a sense of planning for life, but also help to reduce operating costs – because users can only buy for more than one year. Subscribe to the service, but you only use Prime for only 6 to 7 months.

Operating system

Amazon’s operating system is theoretically very simple and straightforward.

Customers who use the Prime service to purchase Amazon-supplied products must choose whether to pay the standard shipping fee, so that the product will be delivered to the consumer within the specified time–of course, depending on where the product was sent.

Or customers can pay extra fees, although doing so will increase costs, but they can also guarantee that they receive the product as soon as possible. Although the specific receipt time depends mainly on where the product is shipped. It may come from a repository in Amazon, or it may come from a merchant that sells its products using Amazon. In the latter case, the cost of shipping may be higher and the arrival time may be longer. Merchants selling products using the Amazon platform are ordered to mail products to customers who purchase the product. Amazon is responsible for providing insurance and the customer’s postage will be paid directly to the merchant.
