Amazon's penultimate draw | Advantage O'nomics
Amazon brings in a Breakthrough Season | Advantage Lifestyle
Holiday sales took fourth Quarter performance to $9.52 billion and they also upped Q1 forecasts to $6.45bn to $7 bn
iPad’s launch was a grand affair too. Infact in their segment it is difficult to teach Apple anything.
Amazon seems quite ready to open the war front with iPad, but as of now it is fair for both companies to hedge their bets with Kindle choosing a 70% commission on each sale over a smaller base than the $12 plus billion in real books, while the iPad would like to be compared with Samsung and Nokia,”part of the iPod and iMac family?”
Amazon’s Operating Margins YOY growth does not mean much but the margins are healthy at 5% with net income of $384 mn at 4.03% based on the use of cash to drive down costs and get more volumes online.
It must also be kept in mind that Black Friday was beaten by Cyber Monday again this season.
Amazon’s Warehousing and delivery modelling is a treat to watch in liquid motion.
The $2 billion buy back should keep the Amazon investors happy while the Kindle franchise develops more lung power in the market place.
Kindle recently reworked its commission structures to 50% for the Author/Publisher except magazine subscriptions.
WE WILL WAIT for the content library on the iBook store to be updated for a more valid comparison, Amazon’s market development strategy is economically more powerful in the new digital footprint, while Apple is great at marketing.
Amazon is also getting better at publisher deals, so it is a fun game for consumers and subscribers..It’s tempting to get everyone to plan a subscription model in the digital media game, but it hasn’t worked, with or without paywalls.
Also an idle mind starts wondering if they can get to Facebook and Twitter to use as a backbone for the next digital age effort? To reiterate our stand, Amazon has single handedly done more to bring this economy out of recession than the others in the Top 100, tech or mobile or even Media.
High speed trains, lower Job claims, the ‘uprising’ is here and USA won’t be number 2.
