Amazon’s Past And Present...What It Can Mean For Sellers Today
Posted from iLoveToReview, November 17, 2015 By: Tina Marie Bueno
Amazon is the #1 Online Retailer
As of 2015: ★244 million active customers
★2 million Sellers worldwide
★ 200 million different products
★$88.99 billion sales
What does founder and CEO Jeff Bezos say to those numbers? "It's still day one.”
That day one mindset drives Amazon’s commitment to innovation & growth.
What do giants Mattel, Disney, Hewlett-Packard
& Google have in common with Amazon?
Can you relate to those CEOs?
★ Perhaps your garage or basement is your brainstorming venue,
product warehouse, processing center or label factory too
★ Those founders had a slew of hair-pulling, nail-biting trial &
errors
Answer: They started in a garage!
YOU probably have a lot in common with these CEO giants!
★They are all self-starters, self-
motivated, visionaries & recognize
boundless opportunities
★They had/have a dream of freedom --
financial, working for themselves, or
living life on their terms
THEN:Amazon’s first website…dull, boring & uninteresting
They only sold books
NOW: Amazon’s website today - 34,000 versions later…
clean, user friendly, 200 million products
"Our first system wasn't very good by today's comparison. It wasn't very sexy or sophisticated, but it worked. It's so much more important to get things started than it is to get things perfect. Launch fast and learn fast. Make gradual, constant improvements.”
