Amazon makes grocery delivery free for Prime members
- s09dfhks 7y agowhats their angle here? Gather data about customer's unhealthy eating habits and sell that to insurance companies? Show sports-related ads to people who eat healthier?
- kadoban 7y agoSell more Prime memberships and get a larger marketshare for Amazon Fresh which they can then monetize more.
- aeternum 7y agoAmazon Fresh is easier to automate. I was surprised the pushed Whole Foods delivery in the first place, they were basically using the instacart model where a personal shopper grabs everything, very labor intensive. The deliver straight from warehouse model has strong potential to be more efficient than a grocery store, even with free delivery.
