Why do customers like Amazon so much to shop?

No company in the world can succeed without satisfying its customers. One of the reasons for the immense success of Amazon company is that it paid a lot of attention to the choices of its customers. It is not that Amazon is the only option for people to shop online, there are many other companies that sell goods online. There are many reasons why people preferred Amazon to other e-commerce websites, some of which are as follows –


  • Customers find the best service of Amazon, their fast delivery. If you have bought something from Amazon's website today, it may be that today it will deliver that item to your home. No person likes to wait too long, and this company takes great care that the goods are not delayed in reaching the customer.


  • “Discount on Price” is the second biggest reason why people prefer to shop from Amazon. If you ever come to know the price of an item in the market and then see it on Amazon's website, you will find that online you will get that item at a cheaper price. This is a very big reason why people like to buy goods from Amazon. If you go to the market then you will have to pay some fare for going. Buying goods from the market does not only cost us money for commuting, but we also feel tired. If we order goods from Amazon, then not only do we save money for going to the market, because the goods arrive at our home and we also get discount and there is no fatigue.

  • The biggest problem in bringing any product home after buying it from the market is to return it if you do not like it. If there is a defect in the product or we do not like it, then we will have to go back to the market again. And it may also happen that the shopkeeper may not return the goods at all. But this is the advantage of shopping from Amazon, if you do not like it, you can also return the goods for absolutely free.


  • Amazon's e-commerce website gives us the option to choose from many products. When you go to the market, you may not get all the goods in one shop, due to which you will have to go to different shops. But on Amazon, you can buy any product of your need sitting at your home, because of these reasons people like Amazon so much.


  • Most of the shopping from Amazon's website happens during festivals. The biggest reason for this to happen is the discount on the price of the products at festivals. Diwali, Christmas, Holi, etc. are some such festivals when you can buy your daily use items at a very low cost from Amazon online store.


So these are some of the reasons why customers like to shop on Amazon's e-commerce site so much. Although other e-commerce stores also provide this facility, Amazon's facility is the best and most economical.

How Amazon Company got its Name

There is a very interesting incident behind changing the name of the company from Cadabra to Amazon.

When the lawyer mispronounced the name of his company, Jeff was very sad and wondered how it would be recognized as a very successful company if people were not able to name my company correctly. So he thought of changing the name of his company.Now the most difficult problem in front of Jeff Bezos was to keep the name of the company, he did not want to keep a simple and which no one could forget after hearing it once. Jeff came up with a trick, he thought of choosing one name from the dictionary.


Jeff Bezos started with the first letter of the English dictionary. He thought it was best if the name started with the letter A because A is at the top or first. Looking at the dictionary, his eyes and fingers stopped on the Amazon (Amazon), which is the largest river in the world.Jeff Bezos found this name best suited for his online store on the Amazon River because Amazon was the largest river and he also wanted to make his site the largest bookstore site in the world.


Bezos wanted to make Amazon an online bookstore, but it became the world's largest company selling all goods online. Certainly Jeff Bezos and his team have worked tirelessly to get here.
