Marketing Strategies of Amazon
Part 6
Amazon.com bases its marketing strategy on six pillars.
1. It freely proffers products and services.
2. It uses a customer-friendly interface.
3. It scales easily from small to large.
4. It exploits its affiliate’s products and resources.
5. It uses existing communication systems.
6. It utilizes universal behaviours and mentalities.
Much of its marketing is subliminal or indirect – it does not run $1
million dollar ads
during Super Bowls nor post flyers in mall marketplaces (unlike
Groupon).
Amazon.com relies on wily online ploys, strong partner relations and a
constant
declaration of quality to market itself to the masses.
