shopping behaviors found that less than 1% of Prime members are likely to
consider other mass-market retail sites — Walmart.com and Target.com, for

An Amazon shopper without a Prime membership is 8 times more likely than
a Prime member to cross-shop between Amazon and Target.com in the
same session.
