WoW that are amazing stats Zed.
I believe Amazon has established itself as a pioneer giant brand when it comes to online retail marketplace. And it becomes bigger every year despite there are other sites coming up to have their fair share of the market.
Thanks for sharing.
Joe:)
it is amazing, I think they may get targeted. All companies do have their lifespan, even Amazon.
I was very surprised at Jeff Bezos quote this last week where he told people not to be complacent as Amazon would go bankrupt at some point!!!!
Self fulfilling prophecy or what?!
He must have missed the mindset classes!!
