Trends
A research paper called “The Rise of Global Market Places – How to compete and prosper in the world of Amazon, Alibaba and other platforms” published by the company eCommerce Poland.
The paper discusses how consumer decisions are affected by the number of options given to us when shopping online and how product changes occur drastically in online retail sites. Different platforms have positive and negative effects on retailers and consumers. The submission shows how retail consultants see retailers less innovative than retailers see themselves.
Global Forces Affecting Today’s Markets
The global market holds a major percentage of the online retail market. Looking at annual reports over that the past 20 years, the revenue is in billions of dollars from top notch companies such as Amazon, eBay, etc.
The essay thoroughly looks into the analytics of Amazon, the most well-documented marketplace, which has a long history of generating revenue through selling and advertisements. Amazon creates convenience strategies to create a seamless experience, attracting customers by continuously lowering prices and practicing dynamic pricing.
Amazon’s Ever Growing Revenues and Costs
Retailers like Amazon use marketplaces for big data, IT and analytics. Even though they amass greater profits than other retail platforms, they spend twice as much for technology than marketing. Which means that as Amazon’s revenues are growing, so are its costs. Amazon receives major earnings yearly, but there can be many flaws in how they impact customer experience, how timely their response is and how competition among other retailers are handled.
Surveys were taken from more than 250 retailers and retail consultants to see the positive and adverse reviews they gave on the impact several marketplaces have on their industry and whether these marketplaces will or will not reach out to their customers towards the future.
