Effects of E-Commerce:
Netflix
By: Janelle Barry, Chris Caponigro, Joel

Introduction
Netflix was established in 1999
Originally only offered DVD rentals
As it grew as a company and competed in
the industry it became stronger and
more innovative
In 2007, it began streaming movies, TV
shows, and documentaries via the
internet
Over 40 million subscribers worldwide
Influence on Consumer Decision
Making Process
Netflix introduced a quicker and easier way of delivery with no due dates.
Netflix figured out the optimal entertainment delivery system: Streaming.
Choice of entertainment. Instead of the traditional ways of playing for basic cable,
seeing movies in theatres and renting them at Blockbuster, many consumers
just chose a Netflix subscription.
On the consumer side, people are choosing to view entire series in order instead
of watching whatever rerun is on cable. It’s so easy for people to choose
whichever series they want.
On the industry side, the people that own the rights to these shows and movies are
making more money than ever, as they’re getting more air time since people
can choose to view them whenever they want.
Effect on Consumer Market
Netflix accounts for 31.6 percent of all downstream Internet traffic, while competitors
like Amazon video use 1.6 percent and Hulu using 1.3 percent.
Physical video rentals started to diminish with instant streaming via the internet.
Acquired over 10 million new subscribers in 2012.
Related to new original programming, (House of Cards, Orange Is The New Black,
Arrested Development, etc…)
Netflix is giving consumers an alternative to paying a cable subscriptions and that
market is around 100 million households paying on average $90 a month when
Netflix streaming cost is only $7.99 a month.
Revolutionizing the way physical media is acquired through instant streaming has
been Netflixs strongest asset, as is its different platforms and devices it can be
viewed on.
SWOT Analysis
Strengths- It’s strengths are weighed primarily from
it’s concept of easy, quick, and efficient
Can be used on many different platforms and devices,
streaming through the internet, ability to partner
with several other companies, and the endless
amount of media content produced
Weaknesses- Netflix face are its lack of streaming
content, it’s inability to advertise during content
being displayed, and streaming the same content
quicker and for free in some cases.
Another major weakness of Netflix is the fact that
users can provide their membership info to other
non-members
SWOT Continued...
Opportunities- Expansion through partnerships online, services provided to
homes(cable, internet, gaming consoles, smart tvs, etc…), as well as international
expansion, and the expansion of the content in which they provide
Other opportunities include the creation of original content which has benefited
Netflix tremendously.
Threats- The major threat being able to access the same content from a different
source, for less or even no cost. Also threats from competition like Hulu, HBO
GO, and Amazon offer different content, rates, and services.
Licensing and partnerships with certain media producers limits content and allows
other companies to control the market of certain media demanded from
consumers.
Competitive Analysis
When first established
BlockBuster was
largest competitor
The three largest
competitors to Netflix
now are...
Hulu, HBO GO, and
Amazon Prime
Traditional v.s. Online Business

Originally providing DVD’s through the mail
Eliminated late fees and not having to physically
acquire to content from a store was a
competitive advantage over businesses like
BlockBuster and Hollywood Video
Reached full potential when creating instant
streaming now completely separating them
from traditional business practices
Netflix has been extremely successful at using its
online format to collect data on consumer
behavior and feedback in order to enhance the
individual experience of each viewer
