Is it possible to be successful in ecommerce without amazon? What is the best way to do ecommerce without amazon?...
This week Wal mart announced a new partnership with shopify, which means they might just start competing with them soon.
However, These days Amazon is generally dominating the e-comm space. Amazon in the USA in general takes up 50% of all online transactions, and growing!
Even though Amazon has around 50% of the USA under their wing, that also means that 50% is NOT!
Also, companies such as target and shopify are introducing new versions of their companies that are direct competitors
How do you thrive without being on Amazon?
- Answer the phone, and encourage phone calls
- Try Live Video Chat
- Have free same day local delivery
- If you are a brand, make sure your product is NOT available on amazon, control you distribution
- Make sure you shipping times and fees are competitive
- Design and UX to impress on your website, Amazon is a little too "shoppy" for some people
Yes, it is possible, and check out the E-comm help club to learn more!

A little history, I was the first in the beauty industry around 15 years ago to offer free shipping all orders no minimums, and it worked beautifully!
Here is the key: Make sure its at the top of all pages, especially mobile view!!!
What if you don't have the margins to do this? DON'T worry, there is hope.
