Conversion Rate:
Amazon is set up as a massive search engine for products, implying a greater chance of purchases as consumers go to their site to find solutions. They are reliably known as a source of wide variety, affordable prices, and unbeatable shipping times. These factors could all contribute greatly to such a high conversion rate. A further incentive of prime membership to increase all of those initial incentives also heightens their conversion rates. I think other retailers can replicate elements of their strategy by finding a major component (fast shipping times or refined product suggestions) and honing in on that element. Revenue Generation:
Based on the current homepage set up for Amazon, two particular factors pull consumers to purchase: personalization and promotions. The personalization of a user’s experience is always important. Banners and custom categories make shopping on Amazon feel personal and easy. With the holidays quickly approaching, there are always a ton of promotional banners and shop categories on the front page that help generate revenue and conversion rate. Discounts and promotions that make shoppers feel like they are not only saving money but also purchasing the hottest and latest gifts will always appeal to consumers. Search Traffic:
Amazon’s ability to help consumers find what they want can be attributed to several factors. Firstly, algorithms and data. Knowing what consumers have purchased, viewed, added to cart, or saved can all help the site make suggestions for previously purchased products or similar products. Secondly, users can select many “filtered options” to narrow down products by price, color, size, and shipping time. All of these elements work to ensure that, of the thousands of options, consumers can find one that works for them. Maximizing Revenue
Revenue Generation:
For their recommendations of accompanying products, it seems that Amazon will often bundle other products from the same shop or brand. They likely have deals that benefit them when they push multiple products from one brand that result in a singular purchase for multiple items. There are also features such as, “frequently purchased together” or “buy it with”, that pull data from what other shoppers have purchased. I personally love this feature and have not seen it in many other e-commerce spaces. If other companies could find a way to collect data and make suggestions like, “other people love this product with the one you have in your cart”, I think they could be very successful in increasing their conversion rates. Member reviews definitely shape consumer choices. It can be extremely helpful to read in-depth reviews about products that help you choose your size, choice of warranty or not, and other things that ultimately inform your decision on if a product is worth purchasing.
