If only they sold happiness and a girlfriend...

 This amazing website/design/corporation/one-stop shop is probably the only place on the internet where you can literally purchase anything you could think of (thats legal) from one spot. Amazon.com, Inc. is an American international electronic commerce company with headquarters in Seattle, Washington, United States. It is the world's largest online retailer. Amazon started as an online bookstore, but soon expanded, selling DVDs, VHSs, CDs, video and MP3downloads/streaming, software, video games, electronics, apparel, furniture, food etc, etc. The company also produces consumer electronics, notably the Amazon Kindle e-book reader and the Kindle Fire tablet computer. Jeff Bezos incorporated the company (as Cadabra) in July 1994 and the site went online as Amazon.com in 1995. The company was renamed after the Amazon River, one of the largest rivers in the world. So its intentions are for any and everybody to visit the site and make purchases. Which will happen since one of there strategies are name brand products, for low prices with fast shipping. Its almost impossible to turn down some of these deals that Amazon present. Since its launch the company has definitely  changed. They evolved from focusing on only a specific product to providing almost everything you can think of. So its original meaning has not changed, but it has  evolved into targeting a larger number of consumers by offering more variety of products to be sold.

The idea of an online shopping experience that sells almost everything is just genius. So original idea just to sell books was a very smart idea. Then realizing that you can sell so much more things just turned from brilliant to genius. The problems faced while first constructing this website were those that many other website that sell something faced also. How are we going to attract consumers and what is going to set us apart from other website that are already similar to us. The answers are great consumer service, fast and easy delivery and name brand products that people recognize and are already familiar with. Great design, great website, great experience at Amazon.com
