People value the speed that Amazon provides. In addition, Amazon prime provides other benefits, such as access to free music, TV shows, and movies. This is most likely the reason why Walmart can provide their service for cheaper, because they do not over these services. I also do not see loyal Amazon Prime members switching to Walmart's service because Amazon sells many more items than Walmart does as well, because they are huge on third party selling.

Not because they will defeat them in this field but someone needs to slow down Amazon from taking over almost everything, and what better way to do so than attacking what happens to be their most successful piece of business at the moment. A huge retailer such as Wal-Mart with more superior funds in comparison to other companies is the ideal opponent, and can be a real threat that will keep Amazon on their toes. Also the risk factor for Wal-Mart isn’t that great. If their “Tahoe” operation fails it wont be that big of deal because they will still be one of the top retailers, if the operation succeeds it will shake up businesses world and Wal-Mart will advance even further away from other retailers, and pose a serious threat to amazon, only securing their effective presence in the states for years to come.Andre Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16850815659592722921noreply@blogger.com
