How to Catch Up to and Compete With Amazon.com [Video]

July 27, 2012

This week I conclude this series of columns about big data and what it means for marketers with a seven-minute video. I promised at the end of “E-Commerce Moneyball” that I would show you the tools that Amazon developed internally and leveraged to become the dominant e-commerce market leader.

In the column, “Claiming your Unfair Advantage, I describe four types of “Big Data” tools. Before I elaborate on these tools, I want to share a lesson from my friend Mark Huffman of P&G. When Mark joined the world’s largest advertiser in 1984, it was all about data analysis. “In God we trust,” one P&G marketer told him, “all others bring data!” Today, Mark is executive production manager at Procter & Gamble and is responsible for all integrated marketing. At…

Optimization, Testing, Tools

If you’re in the market for a website testing and optimization tool, hopefully you’re not among the unfortunate few whose corporate rules and regulations (or BPUs – business prevention units) require the creation of a Request for Proposal (RFP). But even if you are, your frustration should be directed more toward the lack of insights that RFPs often lead to and less at the process itself. As I’ve written in my Website Testing & Optimization Buyer’s Guide, most vendor RFPs…

Optimization, Tools

I’m sure you will find this shocking; occasionally I get frustrated with the corporate decision making processes. A couple of months ago the CEO of an Internet Retailer Top 100 website asked me for my opinion about which testing and targeting tool his team should use. I told him what I recommended based on what knew from my experience with clients and anecdotally from colleagues. When I spoke with him a few weeks later he told me that his team…

Marketer’s are always losing battles to time. Time is all you need to get everything done and to be most effective marketer possible.

My iOS5 update is complete. Reminders could become my favorite app. I bet I’m not alone. Who doesn’t need a location aware reminder? So what’s up Apple? As far as I can tell I can only see the reminders in iCal, while I’m on my Mac, but I can’t create or edit reminders. Bryan and I are avid students of the Apple’s UX magic. We know Apple thinks that often customers can’t tell you what they want until they see…
