ADVANCING VIRTUAL MARKET: In the world of e-commerce, Amazon and Alibaba are the two giants. Alibaba is still somewhat confined within China, while Amazon has already emerged as an unparallel global leader. Alibaba has recently moved to capture a slice of the world market, especially in Asia, while Amazon has not only penetrated in many emerging markets but also consolidated its position in the market. In fact, Amazon’s online shopping popularity has become a big threat for the world’s largest retailer Walmart.
WORLD’S GIANT ONLINE MARKET: After maximising their sales volume in the developed world, the two giant companies have now embarked on the emerging markets. Initially, they both targeted India where they’ve already made enormous investment for developing virtual market.
EXISTING SHOPS CAN WORK FOR AMAZON: Mere invitation to Amazon for commencement of their online marketing operation in Bangladesh may not initially produce fruitful result. Because, they will not be interested to start from a rudimentary level. Instead, they may consider establishing their presence through any existing platform to foresee future prospect and success. In Bangladesh, there are many retail and wholesale shops which have attained consumers’ trust and confidence and enjoy goodwill. Such types of shops/stores are found all over the country. Amazon will make its online ordering facility available in Bangladesh and people will place their order through this online Amazon shopping App. If this initial process works well and is found satisfactory, then Amazon may come forward in streamlining the country’s courier/postal system and also organise the payment method. Applying such procedure, Amazon has achieved spectacular success in rapidly spreading its online marketing in the emerging markets including India.
