- 14. Product Feed • Wewant to emphasize on making the “Amazon Alpha” an Amazon based phone • By that, we mean, creating an Amazon “news feed” as a secondary homepage. • Creating the Amazon news feed will prevent people from using their Web browser and downloading the Amazon mobile application. • The phone will be set up so that it’s already apart of the phone so all the customer will have to do is set up their account info
- 15. Product Feed • Theproduct feed will all be based on our customer’s preference • For example. If our customer shops for watches, we would have him/her indicate his/her preference • Brand • Material • Case Shape • Movement • Band Width • Color • Case Diameter & etc. • By doing this, we’ll be able to have a customized news feed dedicated to our customer • He/She will have the choice to keep their interests separated (which will be organized within tabs/folders) or combined so that everything is under one news feed • Based on click-through and past orders, we’ll put their “most likely” to buy products on the top of the news feed
- 16. Media Feed • Likethe product feed, we want to create another section of the homepage dedicated to media (movies, music, and ebooks) • In this section one is able to • Stream movies • Set up a music playlist • Download ebooks
- 17. Free Amazon Prime AmazonPrime includes: • Unlimited FREE Two-Day Shipping with no minimum order size • FREE Release-Date Delivery on videos, games, and more • Unlimited instant streaming of thousands of movies and TV shows with Prime Instant Videos • A Kindle book to borrow for free each month from the Kindle Owners’ Lending Library The Math • Normally when a customer upgrades to Amazon Prime, they pay a one time $79 fee for one-year of Amazon Prime service. • We want to add the $79 yearly fee into the customer’s phone bill so that both the consumer and Amazon will benefit from this. • If we make the $79 fee part of our customer’s bill, it comes out to an additional $6.58 a month. • The customer wont notice because they aren’t paying an additional fee, instead, this will be part of the phone services fee.

Direct Marketing StrategyObjective: Utilizeseveral advertising tactics across multiple marketing channels to derive an immediate response/ transaction from prospective customers *End Goal= Sell 1 million Amazon Alpha smartphones Strategy: Several databases and information sources will be utilized to accomplish our direct marketing goals including but not limited to: • Amazon’s in-house databases • Kindle user data • E-commerce customer data • AT&T’s in-house database • Profiles of cell phone users • Additional external research *By focusing on our in-house resources, we are able to obtain prospects in the most cost efficient manner.
- 23.

- 24. Tactics First use in-housedatabase to identify prospective buyers based on: • Click-throughs • Shopping patterns/purchasing behaviors • Customer profile (demographics, psychographics, geographics) • RFM data Information will be overlayed with profiles from AT&T’s database to segment prospective customers who are, or will soon be: • Eligible for a phone update • Renewing a contract • Looking to purchase a new phone for various other reasons *Based on this information, ads will be specifically targeted towards those users.
- 25. Search Ad Tactics Keyword searches suchas ‘smartphones’ that reflect potential purchasing behavior *By correlating our ads with these key word searches, we are able to optimize the marketing impressions made on prospective customers.

- 29. Sales In order tosell one million Amazon Alpha smartphones we must send out 100,000,000 “messages” at a 1% conversion rate regardless of the marketing channel. When the ad is seen by a viewer, this is considered an impression. We must make two billion impressions to achieve 100,000,000 click-throughs at a 2% click-through rate; therefore, achieving our goal of selling one million smartphones. This will cost roughly $2 million dollars based on cost per click. The Math: • Conversion Rate: 1% • 1,000,000 phones sold/1% CR= 100,000,000 messages sent • Impressions/click-throughs= 2% CTR • 100,000,000 click-throughs/ 1,000,000 phones sold= 2 billion impressions • Impressions/click-throughs= 2% CTR • Cost per thousand: 2 billion impressions/1,000 =$2 million
