TheThe following presentation will propose an innovative new service, or service level for Amazon Prime members.
• Innovation and creativity are critical in any business. Amazon, as an increasingly large online sales platform, has successfully used Amazon Prime, as a creative offering, to attract new customers and maintain customer loyalty.
• However, this program can be innovated to offer more services at a higher price, and to appeal to a wider market. This is why Amazon Prime, Family Plus is being recommended as a new expansion of the line of services.
Amazon was established in 1994, as one of the earliest electronic commerce brands in the business. As a front runner in the e-commerce market, the company rapidly rose to become the world’s largest internet retailer and the provider of streaming technologies.
Not only does the company sell and ship physical products, they also provide access to digital content, including games, books, and films which can be streamed or downloaded for private use.
The brand has, over time, developed its own electronics line, including phones, tablets, and a line of apps, with a cloud infrastructure for data storage.
In order to provide loyal customers with enhanced access to these products and services, while also generating a creative new revenue stream, the company began providing “Amazon Prime” services in 2005. Members pay for a subscription, and as a result, receive benefits including: two-day shipping, same day delivery in serviced locations, access to video and music streaming, prime photo services, pantry services which offer a reduced price on household and food items, and more. These benefits, however, are generic, and could be innovated to appeal to families, rather than individuals.
Incremental innovation
-Currently both Amazon Prime and Amazon family services are offered. This will not only combine, but also build upon their services.
- It will expand the educational services offered, and provide greater control
- This will allow not only greater appeal to family, but also increased loyalty among current members with growing families.
Oppertunity
There are a variety of competitors, depending on the services offered. The most notable are Netflix for movie streaming, Google Scholar for book access and academic research, and Walmart.com for physical product purchasing.
• Target Market: Parents with children of multiple ages, who are starting to use the internet for research or who routinely read on the kindle. The idea is to replace other movie and academic subscriptions services with an updated prime service.
Broader access to research, and online literature. Greater storage of research, notes, and help with citation. Educational support for children of multiple ages. Greater focus on providing family friendly entertainment and guidance.
