I have used the Amazon.com Prime service for about 3 or 4 months now.  I will continue to re-enroll year after year.  One nice thing about prime is that you can add other members of your household to your prime subscription even if they have a different Amazon.com account.  I believe they just have to have the same address as you.\n\nWith prime you get free two-day shipping and one-day shipping for $3.99 per item.  There are some items on Amazon that are not eligible for prime shipping.  Most items are eligible.  (I haven't come across an item I wanted to order that wasn't eligible.)  I usually order items with one-day shipping.  As long as I order before 4:30pm PST I will receive my items the next day.  A little known secret is that if you pay the $3.99 for one day shipping and it doesn't arrive in one day, they will refund your $3.99.  You just have to contact customer service.\n\nAnother little known secret about Amazon is that if you order something that goes on sale within 30 days of your purchase, they will refund you the difference.  You have to contact customer service to let them know.  Amazon Prime is highly recommended!

It's based on the revenue of the company for the last year.  The largest ones get on the list.

Yahoo... Google manipulates their search responses based upon ad dollars.  The more you pay the higher in the search you "score".

If you bought it on the net, many search engines, such as Yahoo and Pricegrabber allow you to write a review of the place where you bought it.  BTW- next time use these reviews to choose where to buy.

It's reliable. Two insights. One, Ebay and Amazon (which I now work for) are COMPLETELY dependant on the trust of our customers. You will notice that the only thing that can prove an internet companies worthyness is it's customer service. I'm an Ebay fan, yet it's kind of a taboo at Amazon since they are a large competitor. Amazon.com has better customer service.. actually they were rated #1 in customer service the past three years, but when you take a little, and I mean a little, with Ebay, you will find you often times come out with a better price. \n\nTwo, the main concern or focus she should have is how people get your person information when doing internet based shopping. Both Amazon.com and Ebay have secure servers. Nobody will get there information when making a transaction, not even an employee of the company. It's all offline once it goes to our server. The number one thing to look out for are bogus emails, called phishing emails. If you receive an email directing you to ebay or amazon, which asks you for a password or other information, simply call the company to make sure they are truely asking for it..\n\nI don't know ebays cs number, but Amazon.com's is 800-201-7575\n\n...try our customer service out sometime. I'm possitive you'll be inpressed.

Interesting quiestion.\n\n1) Go Multi-Local: A great way to improve revenue while leveraging their strongest asset (customer focus technology)would be to go multi local expanding into high throughput consumer economies (such as Germany and Japan) If amazon would launch multi-local sites with strong logistics.\n\nEven atypical markets would be good for Amazon they could follow the example of ebay in latin america (check out a case study on ebay´s latin american branch http://www.deremate.com )\n\n2) Go into alternate service markets:\n\nThe back bone of amazon´s success is the strong logistics motor that links customer traking and physical delivery. Amazon could create a new brand umbrella and sell Logistics outsourcing for Distribution centers. (go into a segment dominated today by ryder, and dhl) In a way they have allready started to exploit this strenght offering electronic storefronts for small businesses but it would be great if their distribution center knowelege could be sold to traditional retail giants such as K Mart.\n\n3) Cross brand with competitive size brick and mortar bookstores. Amazon could easily cross brand, merge or even hostily take over a good competitive bookstore chain to build a physical presence in malls and shopping centers arround the country. There is still a suprising amount of consumers who are not internet buyers. If amazon would cross brand with someone like borderbooks or walden books they could probably access the best of both worlds. (Amazon is still positioned as a bookstore more than anything else)\n\nThere are three ideas you could elaborate on.\nCheck profit margins and typical markup values in each of these businesses to support your case in class and you will have a solid project. . . Good Luck

Just take the sales for that particular company and divide that by the total industry sales. Now if you want to do this at the agent level, choose a business segment/product line in a particular company first. Then take the total base for that segment/product line and do the math.\n\nThis can be done for volume units or for revenue units.

You don't say what you do, so it's hard to give a specific answer.\n\nGoals should be well-defined and measurable. For example, to sell 10% more widgets than last year, to make 5% less mistakes than last month, to help x number of customers per week, etc.

Typically, sales are tracked by the provider of the affiliate program through a special tracking code embedded in the links of affiliates. Some programs even offer up to 30-day cookies such as Amazon affiliate program so the sale can be credited to the affiliate even though the sale was not immediate when the visitor clicked on the link. Without the embedded code, affiliate program managers will not be able to track the sale, and will not be credited to the affiliate.\n\nI think website is a must-have before joinining affiliates. Plus, you won't even be approved because you will need to give your website URL to apply. They need to know that your website fits their product well

Offhand I would say that the model predicts demand in year N to be normally distributed with mean 5000 and standard deviation 1500 sqrt(N).  The model prediction of the probability of negative sales in year N increases towards 0.5 from below as N approaches positive infinity. :-)

How about marketing strategy ?.\nPrice Discrimination towards products.\nDiscover the relevantness on assessing higher price towards luxury products rather than shopping or convenience products.\nYou could linked price to brand names. Renowned brands will put up high price to show their prestige and popularity.

If you are buying it is the highest you will buy for and if you are selling it's the lowest you will sell for.  \n\nA market order is just "buy or sell it at whatever the going price is at the time my order hits the market."  you do NOT want to do this.
