Quotes

  • “Amazon expands just so seamlessly into people’s lives because there is no friction when you’re shopping with them. It was their kind of fulfillment option.” - Kiri  “The differentiation between Amazon and some of the other e-commerce players is their ability to enable pretty much anybody to be a seller of a product.” - Ben“The drivers for the Amazon supply changed over time. Initially, Amazon had much greater control over the fat hedge of products offered on their platform.” - Kiri “The value of listing your product on Amazon comes from their platform’s traffic, customer’s trust with Amazon, the convenience they offer among others. So if you’re a brand and you’re selling on Amazon you get to acquire some of that trust and reputation just by being on their platform. And if you’re a new concept to a shopper, they might be more prepared to take a chance on your product.” - Kiri   “It seems to me that the biggest risk for an e-commerce company is that when you’re selling on Amazon, while you might be getting volume, you are doing two things: you are creating a toll booth and pay Amazon a portion of your revenue which can result to driving your customers away from your existing domain and the second thing is you don’t own or control, any of the data.” - Ben
