Don’t wait till it’s too late: Amazon’s influence on eCommerce

Don’t wait till it’s too late: Amazon’s influence on eCommerce

You no doubt understand the importance of SEO, Google Ads, content marketing, social media, and a whole host of other tactics designed to boost your eCommerce business. You’ve probably already invested time and money in them as part of your digital strategy.

So why aren’t you doing the same when it comes to Amazon?

Put simply — Amazon shouldn't just be a concern for your eCommerce business right now, it should be the concern. Indeed I’d go so far as to say that if you have a product that can be sold online and you don’t have an Amazon strategy in place, then you will be out of business within five years.

It’s that important, and here’s why…

A sleeping giant

Amazon is radically changing the eCommerce landscape, moving beyond its role as a retail giant to become a powerhouse of search and advertising that can have a huge impact on businesses’ bottom lines.

Today, more people use Amazon than Google when it comes to conducting product research. In fact, 9 in 10 consumers will check Amazon, even if they have found the product they are looking for on another site.

That’s a lot of eyeballs. However, your business’ success won't just rely on your ability to get in front of them but stopping someone else from getting there before you can.

 

You need to act now before it’s too late

Because of the way Amazon’s marketplace is set up, it’s incredibly difficult to usurp sellers that have already established their presence. That’s great news for businesses that have been quick to see the opportunity that Amazon provides, but it should be ringing alarm bells for those who haven’t.

After all, if you’re not building a presence for your products in Amazon’s marketplace then you can bet that someone else will be, and by the time you realize how much market share they’re taking from you, it will be too late to do anything about it.

The time to act is now.
