Editor's Notes

  • #5 http://heidicohen.com/2016-mobile-marketing-trends/
  • #7 a multichannel approach to sales that seeks to provide the customer with a seamless shopping experience whether the customer is shopping online from a desktop or mobile device, by telephone or in a bricks and mortar store.  Mobile Device Purchasing Will Grab a Larger Market Share Consumers Will Expect Greater Fulfillment Flexibility Contextual shopping will replace personalization
  • #9 Created in 2005, Amazon Prime is a $99 Amazon membership that offers free two-day shipping within the continental U.S. on eligible purchases and discounted one-day shipping rates. Membership also includes Amazon Instant Video, an instant streaming of movies and TV shows, as well as access to the Kindle Owners’ Lending Library, Prime Music (unlimited streaming of songs) and Prime Photos (unlimited photo storage). The everything store: “In 2004, an Amazon engineer named Charlie Ward used an employee-suggestion program called the Idea Tool to make a proposal” Speedy shipping club for consumers who are sensitive and who are not price conscious “ “Bezos decide on $79 per year, saying it needed to be large enough to matter to consumers but small enough…” Service was expensive to run. The service turned customers onto Amazon addicts http://techcrunch.com/2016/04/06/amazon-brings-same-day-delivery-to-nearly-a-dozen-more-u-s-metros/ In total, that means Amazon’s same-day delivery is now available in 27 metro areas across the U.S., or more than 1,000 cities and towns. Amazon long resisted building warehouses to take advantage of tax loopholes, but now that the tax benefit is no longer quite so lucrative, they’re building space rapidly to keep pace with consumer demand and training buyer’s delivery-time preferences.
  • #10 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Le46ERPMlWU http://www.amazon.com/b?node=8037720011 Prime Air — a future delivery system from Amazon designed to safely get packages to customers in 30 minutes or less using small unmanned aerial vehicles, also called drones. Prime Air has great potential to enhance the services we already provide to millions of customers by providing rapid parcel delivery that will also increase the overall safety and efficiency of the transportation system. Putting Prime Air into service will take some time, but we will deploy when we have the regulatory support needed to realize our vision.
  • #11 http://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2016/apr/10/short-haul-robot-goes-on-test-roll-2016/?f=business UberRUSH - connects you with a courier to make a delivery. Your courier will arrive at the push of a button, ready to take your items and deliver them wherever they need to go. On-demand delivery is something consumers have come to expect. With that in mind, startup Dispatch is building a fleet of autonomous delivery vehicles designed for sidewalks and bike paths. https://youtu.be/_PKyKluMcNM
  • #12 http://www.seattletimes.com/business/amazon/at-amazon-warehouses-humans-and-robots-are-in-sync/ At the Amazon fulfillment center in DuPont, a robot, at right, zooms away as Byron Struble removes packages from the container on top of another robot and then places them onto a conveyor belt. Thousands of robots and about 500 workers coexist at the plant. (Ellen M.
