Sneaky Ways Amazon Gets You To Spend Money

Amazon completely dominated the e-commerce market last year, making roughly $283 billion. With the perks of Amazon's services, it can be hard to pass up free speedy, if not same day, delivery. The average Amazon Prime member is reported to spend around $1,400 per year, while non-members spend $600.

But it isn’t instant. It takes a day or two for the package to arrive. Imagine being at the grocery store, picking out your veggies, milk, bread and cheese, paying for them but not taking them home. You have to come back the next day to take them home. Or it gets delivered the next day. In my college days I worked at a convenience store. 24/7/365 choke-a-block with impulse buy items. Chips, pop, magazines, gum, candy. Customers had to wend their way through the entire store to get “real” things like milk or bread. That was instant gratification. No matter the time or day customers could fulfill their junk food craving. 3am on Xmas morning? Yup. But the prices were all 15-20% higher than the grocery store.

[@nirophek1303]

Never use the "Buy Now" option, use add to basket, then open your cart and proceed to checkout. Many times the product price changes, and so does the shipping cost. And on top of that you get two shipping methods - the expansive one is chosen by default from the "Buy Now" option. The shipping method does not mean safer journey or better packaging! It only means faster shipping.

[@jeffenriquez9929]

Well, if you have Amazon Prime then the buy now button is fine because the shipping is free. I’ve never had an issue with the product price changing.

So, in summary, Amazon "gets you to spend more money" by offering the best deals, fastest shipping, and generally being the best at what they do? Because if everyone else is "beefing up" to "almost match Amazon but not quite" (5:28), what's sneaky about that?

[@wilsonator2008]

If you buy in bulk on Amazon for items you use a lot of (pasta, sugar, and coffee spring to mind), you can potentially save money on that item. For example, my mum buys commercial sized tubs of coffee and sugar from amazon and it works out cheaper buying one of those tubs every 3-4months than constantly having to go to the shop for a small container at like £4 for the bag of sugar and jar of coffee.

[@arkantos006]

@@LuizAlexPhoenix that's not what the sunken cost fallacy is. Sunken cost fallacy is keep investing in something because you've already invested a lot into it. IE Doing a project at work that will lead to nowhere but you keep going at it because you've already spent weeks on that project. Or keep investing in a stock that isn't performing because you've already invested a few thousand into it already. That prime membership is a reoccurring annual fee so it's not a "past" or sunken cost. It's a reoccurring one and it's not free because you're paying for that specific service, in this case shipping, albeit you're paying for a different scope of that service.

[@Donteatacowman]

Amazon used to be consistently competitive shopping, but now it seems like Amazon is (sometimes) cheaper for big-ticket items, but much more expensive for small items. A $2 bottle of lotion from Walmart (if bought or picked up in-store) might cost $8-$12 on Amazon (free shipping with a wait). Even a few years ago before Amazon became an evil overlord, I would notice that a lot of "free shipping" items were about as expensive as "item + shipping" elsewhere, although that's true for most online retailers.

Ariana Grande: I see it (on amazon) I like it I want it I got it

Ok

[@PLuMUK54]

I use Amazon for Kindle books and items that I cannot get from local shops. Apart from that I prefer to see the item I am buying, and have often had better deals in physical shops. As for my Kindle purchases, well maybe once a year I will spend £5+ on a book that I particularly want, but usually I look at the £0.99 deals, where, if you're willing to wait, you will often find the same books appearing. I prefer real books where I can, but have had to accept that after a lifetime as a bibliophile, I have run out of space.

They don’t get you, you decide to buy from Amazon.... We live in a capitalist system so we have options to choose from. 😉

[@Nishith8]

Wait till they become a monopoly...

[@joelclark4610]

Nishith Joshi they already are

[@Wicked-hx7yg]

Nishith Joshi the people made it into a monopoly, so blame the people not the company. A lot of people knew that Amazon could become a monopoly if people keep buying from them, making them have more buying power. Any company goal is to expand and increase sales, at the same time making your customer feel more comfortable and the experience of shopping at your business convenient.

@@Nishith8 guess you don’t know what a monopoly is.

Money making machine !!

[@sharonshade4437]

It works, I’ve been with Prime for a while and I hate driving to stores hoping to find something and not being able to. Then I go back to Amazon anyway.

[@propanzx924]

You're just lazy!

[@horrnett]

in India Amazon has got huge market vase because for their ease to do shopping schemes. they even reach out to villages in far off remote places. n they are still to tap more off the market. i find them convenient for shopping as it's 100 times better to sit n search than physically go from one store to another for the same items.

[@Xnxnxnxn96]

How about the amazon fires?

[@allnightkid]

The title of your video is "Sneaky Ways Amazon Gets You To Spend Money". But are they really "sneaky" ways?, or are they simply intelligent marketing techniques, along with giving the customer what they really want... speed and convenience?
