5. • Amazon has been at the forefront of
internet innovation since its conception in
1995.
• Now Amazon is venturing into our next
frontier: AmazonFresh.
6. • AmazonFresh is a grocery delivery service
that allows our customers to conveniently
order their groceries online using a computer
or a smartphone.
• We initially offered our service to the residents
of Seattle in a beta-test in 2007.
• On June 10, 2013, AmazonFresh expanded
to Los Angeles.
7. • This industry has been around since the dot-
com bubble, but died when the bubble burst.
• AmazonFresh is in the midst of reviving this
dead industry.
• Imagine our world in the future. It seems
inevitable that brick-and-mortar grocery stores
will be a thing of the past.
8. • AmazonFresh requires that a customer have
internet access.
• Based on our research, the highest
percentage of the U.S. population with
internet access are college graduates
between the ages of 25-40.
• We also see a market for elderly. People age
55 and older are increasing their connectivity.
9. • AmazonFresh offers products from all areas
of a traditional grocery store.
• We have 18,000 items for purchase.
Including household name brands, as well as
farm-to-store specialty products.
• We buy our goods directly from manufacturer.

11. • The grocery store is a physical experience.
• The grocery store is a social experience.
• These experiences are difficult to replicate
online.
12. • The last minute shopper
• Time constraint for delivery
• Competitors using Click & Connect
13. • Razor thin margins on grocery items
• Industry giants driving down already low
prices
• Will users be willing to pay a membership
fee?
• Can we profit from groceries alone? And how
large must orders be? Some shoppers go 2-3
times per week.

different problems in order to push the success
of AmazonFresh forward.

19. • Partner with American Express to create the
AmazonFresh Farmers Market, much like the
American Express “Small Business Saturday.”
• Addresses problems facing the perception of freshness
and physical and social events that are associated with
brick-and-mortar stores.
• Focus on neighborhood central points that are easy for
customers to get to.
• Helps sell the membership fee requirement to unsure
potential customers.
20. • Pros

centrally located so moving
them to the area is quick

destinations for customers
and potential customers.

• Cons
• Foot traffic is not only
constant by locals but
visitors are present as well.
• Identifying AmazonFresh
Customers- there must be
an expensive way to ensure
that they are treated and
thanked for being
members.
• Mother Nature can easily
call off the entire event-
requiring relicensing to
utilize the area and event
planning.
21. • Partner with our Kiva Systems Robots to address
delivery time issues by building efficient and
customer friendly store-front kiosks.

delivery times
• Environmentally friendly and cost conscious.
22. • Pros
• Many customers find that
AmazonFresh delivery
times can be inconvenient
for their area.
• Orders can be fulfilled the
night before and placed at
the kiosk for pick up in a
convenient neighborhood
area.
• Cut cost of spending on gas
with delivery trucks
(emissions) and saves
money by not requiring a
driver.
• Cons
• Property Cost: Although we
utilize a space the size of a
delivery truck, the property
cost could be astronomical
(areas served).
• Last Minute Shopper: This
solution still does not
address the last minute
shopper who ultimately
might need a product.
• Technology: While store
front kiosk in Asia are
popular, we must address
kinks that may potentially
arise in the system.

AmazonFresh Services.

becoming a member of AmazonFresh.

month.

might not find value in the
service that we offer
against the cost

cut down a local business
with the identification of
Amazon.
